INSTALLATION
Check the unit rating plate to confirm specifications are
as ordered.
Location of Unit
Outdoor units operate under a wide range of weather
conditions; therefore, multiple factors must be considered
when positioning the unit. The unit must be positioned to
give adequate clearances for sufficient airflow and
serviceing. Refer to Figure 1 for installation clearances.
General
Read this entire instruction manual, as well as the
instructions supplied in separate equipment, before
starting the installation. Observe and follow all
warnings, cautions, instructional labels, and tags.
Failure to comply with these instructions could result
in an unsafe condition and/or premature component
failure.
These instructions are intended as a general guide only for
use by qualified personnel and do not supersede any national
or local codes in any way. The installation must comply with
all provincial, state, and local codes as well as the National
Electrical Code (U.S.) or Canadian Electrical Code (Canada).
Compliance should be determined prior to installation.
4SHP13 condensing units use R-410A which is an ozone-
friendly HFC refrigerant. The unit must be installed with a
matching indoor coil and line set. A filter drier approved for
use with R-410A is installed in the unit.
When servicing or repairing HVAC components, ensure the
fasteners are appropriately tightened. Table 1 shows torque
values for fasteners.
• Place a sound-absorbing material, such as Isomode,
under the unit if it will be installed in a location or position
that will transmit sound or vibration to the living area or
adjacent buildings.
• Install the unit high enough above the ground or roof to
allow adequate drainage of defrost water and prevent ice
buildup.
• In heavy snow areas, do no locate the unit where drifting
snow will occur. The unit base should be elevated above
the depth of average snows.
NOTE: Elevation of the unit may be accomplished by
constructing a frame using suitable materials. If a
support frame is constructed, it must not block drain
holes in unit base.
• When installed in areas where low ambient temperatures
exist, locate unit so winter prevailing winds do not blow
directly into outdoor coil.
Inspection of Shipment
Upon receipt of equipment, carefully inspect it for possible
shipping damage. If damage is found, it should be noted on
the carrier’s freight bill. Take special care to examine the
unit inside the carton if the carton is damaged. Any
concealed damage discovered should be reported to the
last carrier immediately, preferably in writing, and should
include a request for inspection by the carrier’s agent.
If any damages are discovered and reported to the carrier
DO NOT INSTALL THE UNIT
, as claim may be denied.

Installation Clearances
* A service clearance of 30" must be maintained on one of the
sides adjacent to the control box. Clearance to one of the other
three sides must be 36". Clearance to one of the remaining two
sides may be 12" and the final side may be 6".
A clearance of 24" must be maintained between units.
48" clearance required on top of unit. Maximum soffit overhang is
36".
