II. Incoming Inspection
Kooltronic Air Conditioners are designed, built and packaged to withstand the shock and vibration normally
associated with shipment by common carriers. Occasionally improper handling during shipping causes
damage. Such handling could include unbanding of palletized shipments, failing to respect
"This Side Up"
arrows, rough handling, falling off conveyors, excessive vibration, crushing, etc. Therefore, a thorough
inspection should be done upon receipt of all shipments. Any carton tears, dents, scratches, loose articles
or evidence of oil are signs of damage and should be noted on the Freight Bill. Cartons should be opened
promptly and the units inspected for CONCEALED DAMAGE. Kooltronic Air Conditioners must be delivered
in the proper mounting position to assure that damage to the compressor has not occurred during shipping.
Any Kooltronic Air Conditioner that is delivered removed from the banded pallet, lying down or double
stacked should be refused.
An immediate claim MUST be filed with the freight carrier and an inspection requested. Retain all packing
materials. Kooltronic cannot assume responsibility for Consignee's failure to file a timely freight claim.
III. Product Handling:
1) Do not attempt to operate your Kooltronic Air Conditioner until you read and thoroughly understand
this Manual. See section
VI PRE-INSTALLATION TESTING.
2) Before operating the Kooltronic Air Conditioner be certain that it is placed in its correct mounting
position.
All Air Conditioners containing an MM, NM, P, or V as part of the model number are
designed to operate in a vertical position only. All Air Conditioners containing an H, RT or
RM in the model number are designed to operate in a horizontal position only.
This placement
must be done a minimum of 5 minutes prior to operating in order to allow the compressor oil to drain
to the compressor sump area.
CAUTION
3) Before operating this unit, all electrical wiring must be checked to assure the proper connection to
the correct power source. Minimum circuit ampacity should be at least 125% of the amperage found
on the air conditioner label for the corresponding voltage. Do not exceed the maximum fuse size
found on the label.

PROCEDURE FOR PROPER PACKING AND SHIPMENT OF KOOLTRONIC
AIR CONDITIONERS:
■
Keep Air Conditioner in proper upright position indicated by arrow markers.
■
Pack Air Conditioner in an appropriate carton (preferably original carton if possible), with
adequate internal protective packaging, making sure carton is marked and is kept in correct
upright position.
■
For local, controlled transportation, strap carton to a secure part of truck to prevent falling
or sliding, minimize vibration, etc.
■
For common carrier shipment, band unit(s) securely to a pallet. Unpalleted shipment risks
severe damage which voids the warranty.
Kooltronic Air Conditioners must be operated in their proper mounting position. If attempts
are made to operate a unit that is not in its designed mounting position, permanent
compressor damage will occur. This action will void the warranty. To avoid compressor
damage do not tip the unit more than 45° from its proper mounting position.
