Installation, Operation and Maintenance Manual

Please read and save these instructions. Read carefully before attempting to assemble, install, operate or maintain the 
product described. Protect yourself and others by observing all safety information. Failure to comply with instructions could 
result in personal injury and/or property damage! Retain instructions for future reference.

Only qualified personnel should install this system. 
Personnel should have a clear understanding of these 
instructions and should be aware of general safety 
precautions. Improper installation can result in electric 
shock, possible injury due to coming in contact with 
moving parts, as well as other potential hazards, 
including environmental. Other considerations may be 
required if high winds or seismic activity are present. 
If more information is needed, contact a licensed 
professional engineer before moving forward.
  1.  Follow all local electrical and safety codes, as well 

as the National Electrical Code (NEC), the National 
Fire Protection Agency (NFPA), where applicable. 
Follow the Canadian Electric Code (CEC) in 
Canada.

  2.  All moving parts must be free to rotate without 

striking or rubbing any stationary objects.

  3.  Unit must be securely and adequately grounded.
  4.  Do not spin fan wheel faster than maximum 

cataloged fan RPM. Adjustments to fan speed 
significantly affect motor load. If the fan RPM is 
changed, the motor current should be checked to 
make sure it is not exceeding the motor nameplate 
amps.

  5.  Verify that the power source is compatible with the 

equipment.

  6.  Never open access doors to the unit while it is 

running.

General Safety Information

DANGER

•  Always disconnect power before working on or near 

this equipment. Lock and tag the disconnect switch 
or breaker to prevent accidental power up.

•  If this unit is equipped with optional gas 

accessories, turn off gas supply whenever power is 
disconnected.

CAUTION

This unit is equipped with a compressed refrigerant 
system. If a leak in the system should occur, 
immediately evacuate and ventilate the area. An EPA 
Certified Technician must be engaged to make repairs 
or corrections. Refrigerant leaks may also cause 
bodily harm.

CAUTION

When servicing the unit, the internal components may 
be hot enough to cause pain or injury. Allow time for 
cooling before servicing.
