Shipping Inspection
Always keep the unit upright; laying the unit on its side or top
may cause equipment damage. Shipping damage, and subse-
quent investigation is the responsibility of the carrier. Verify
the model number, specifications, electrical characteristics,
and accessories are correct prior to installation. The distribu-
tor or manufacturer will not accept claims from dealers for trans-
portation damage or installation of incorrectly shipped units.
Codes & Regulations
This product is designed and manufactured to comply with

tion and disposal of refrigerants. Failure to follow these
regulations may harm the environment and can lead to
the imposition of substantial fines.
Should you have any
questions please contact the local office of the EPA.
If replacing a condensing unit or air handler, the system must

Installation Clearances
Special consideration must be given to location of the con-
densing unit(s) in regard to structures, obstructions, other units,
and any/all other factors that may interfere with air circulation.
Where possible, the top of the unit should be completely unob-
structed; however, if vertical conditions require placement be-
neath an obstruction
there should be a minimum of 60
inches between the top of the unit and the obstruction(s).
The specified dimensions meet requirements for air circulation
only. Consult all appropriate regulatory codes prior to deter-
mining final clearances.
Another important consideration in selecting a location for the
unit(s) is the angle to obstructions. Either side adjacent the
valves can be placed toward the structure provided the side
away from the structure maintains minimum service clearance.
Corner installations are strongly discouraged.

Minimum Airflow Clearance
This unit can be located at ground floor level or on flat roofs. At
ground floor level, the unit must be on a solid, level foundation
that will not shift or settle. To reduce the possibility of sound
transmission, the foundation slab should not be in contact with
or be an integral part of the building foundation. Ensure the
foundation is sufficient to support the unit. A concrete slab
raised above ground level provides a suitable base.
