INFORMATION
HANDLING
Care must be taken in handling the cabinet and risers and other accessories to ensure that this equipment
does not sustain any damage. It is recommended that the cabinet and risers be transported individually
on a two-wheel cart.
The protective shipping packaging should remain on the cabinet until they are ready for installation.
During construction, the unit must not be run and shall be sheltered from contaminants and debris such
as drywall dust, wood chips, and paint that could damage, which may result in diminished performance.
STORAGE
The cabinet should be stored upside down to prevent damaging the foam gaskets on the underside of the
cabinet.
Both the cabinet and risers should be stored in a non-corrosive environment sheltered from conditions of
extreme temperature or humidity. Subjecting the unit and risers to conditions of this nature may result in
significantly reduced performance, reliability, and operational life.
The unit is intended for interior use only and should be stored indoors at all times to protect it from the
elements and to help eliminate the potential growth of indoor air quality (IAQ) contaminants.
If indoor storage is not possible, the equipment may be stored outdoors during the summer months only,
if the following provisions are met:
1.
The equipment must be placed on a dry surface, or raised off the ground in a manner which allows
for air-circulation beneath the unit.
2.
A waterproof tarp must be used to cover the equipment in order to provide protection from the
elements.
3.
Continuous ventilation to the units must be provided to help prevent moisture accumulation on
the interior and exterior surfaces. Moisture buildup on, or within the unit’s insulation may result in
microbial growth that can lead to odors and serious health-related IAQ problems.
4.
The individual units shall not be stacked on top of one another.
