Before You Install this Unit
√
The cooling load of the area to be conditioned must be
calculated and a system of the proper capacity selected. It is
recommended that the area to be conditioned be completely
insulated and vapor sealed.
√
Check the electrical supply and verify the power supply is
adequate for unit operation. If there is any question concerning
the power supply, contact the local power company.
√
All units are securely packed at the time of shipment and
upon arrival should be carefully inspected for damage prior
to installing the equipment at the job site. Verify coil fins are
straight. If necessary, comb fins to remove flattened or bent
fins. Claims for damage (apparent or concealed) should be
filed immediately with the carrier.
√
Please consult your dealer for maintenance information
and availability of maintenance contracts. Please read all
instructions before installing the unit.
Locating the Air Conditioner
• Survey the job site to determine the best location for mounting
the outdoor unit. Select a solid, level position, preferably on
a concrete slab, slightly above the grade level, and parallel
to the home. If possible, select a site for the unit that is as
close as possible to the proposed return grille location. Unit
&
.
DO NOT PLACE UNIT UNDER THE HOME.
• The unit should be located with consideration of minimizing
the length of the supply and return ducts. If practical, place
the air conditioner and its ducts in an area where they will be
shaded from the afternoon sun, when the heat load is greatest.
• The length of the supply and return ducts should be kept to
a minimum with no sharp radius bends.
• Overhead obstructions, poorly ventilated areas, and areas
subject to accumulation of debris should be avoided. The
hot condenser air must be discharged up and away from the
home, and if possible, in a direction with the prevailing wind.
Do not place the unit in a confined space. See
&
for unit dimensions.
• Sufficient clearance for unobstructed airflow through the
outdoor coil must be maintained in order to achieve rated
performance.
• Consideration should also be given to availability of electric
power, service access, noise, and shade.
