General Information
Shipping and Handling
Units are securely packed in shipping containers ap-
proved by the International Safe Transit Association. Check
the carton upon arrival for external damage. If damage is
found, file a request in writing for inspection by the carrier
agent immediately. The carrier is responsible for making
prompt inspection of damage and for a thorough investiga-
tion of each claim. The distributor or manufacturer will not
accept claims from dealers for transportation damage. If
no damage is found, carefully remove all shipping material
and properly dispose of it.
Keep the unit as upright as possible. Laying the unit on its
side or top could cause equipment damage.
Clearances and Accessibility
DO NOT locate the unit:
– Directly under a vent termination for a gas appliance.
– Within three feet of a clothes drier vent.
– Where the refreezing of defrost water would create
a hazard.
– Where water may rise into the unit.
– Where the noise would prove to be a nuisance to the
customer (i.e. windows, patios, decks, etc.)
DO locate the unit:
– With the bottom of the unit at least three inches
above the maximum expected snow accumulation
level.
– In accordance with the minimum clearances described
in Figure 1.
– To minimize the length of refrigerant piping required.
– To provide adequate service clearances.
– On a level concrete pad (or other sturdy, weather
resistant platform).
– Isolated from the building structure to avoid transmis-
sion of vibrations.
In general, short runs of refrigerant piping are better than
long runs. If practical, locate the unit accordingly.
Locate the unit to provide safe access for future mainte-
nance and service. If possible, discuss unit location with
the owner before proceeding.
This unit is for outdoor installation only. It cannot be
completely enclosed. Refer to Figure 1 for clearances
from the sides of the unit to full walls and other objects.
Minimum clearances are required to avoid air recircula-
tion and keep the unit operating at peak efficiency. A
minimum six inch clearance is required on one side of the
unit, and a minimum of twelve on two other sides. The
remaining side of the unit must be unrestricted. Ensure
that there is at least five feet clearance above the unit.
These minimum clearances do not guarantee adequate
service access. Sufficient clearances for servicing the
unit(s) must be provided.
If installing two or more units at the same location, allow at
least 24 inches between the units when using the 6”-12”-
12” guidelines in Figure 1. The space between two units
may be reduced to 12” if the clearances in Figure 1 are
increased to 12”-24”-24”.

Rooftops Installations Only
Before installing this unit on a roof, ensure that the roof will
support the weight of the unit, its platform, and the service
personnel. Place the unit on a level, weather resistant
platform. For approximate unit weight, see the Product
Data Book applicable to your model*. If in doubt about the
adequacy of the roof, it is your responsibility to contact a
qualified architect or structural engineer before installing
the unit.
Application Note
For proper performance, the indoor equipment and duct-
work must be adequate for moving about 400 CFM of
indoor air for every ton of cooling capacity to be installed.
If they are not, modify the ductwork or indoor equipment
accordingly.
*NOTE: Please contact your distributor for the applicable product data
book referred to in this manual.
