Note: The spring isolator must be
centered in relation to the tube sheet.
Do not align the isolator with the flat
part of the chiller foot since the tube
sheet is often off center.
Note: The length of the
isolator should be parallel
to the leg.

in such a way that they could inhibit chiller
servicing such as charging or evacuation,
oil tank service, etc.
Leveling the Unit
The chiller must be set level within 1/16 in. (1.6 mm).
1. Measure and make a punch mark an equal distance
up from the bottom of each foot of the chiller.
2. Suspend a clear plastic tube along the length of the
chiller as shown in the following figure.
3. Fill the tube with water until the level aligns with
the punch mark at one end of the chiller.
4. Check the water level at the opposite mark. If the
water level does not align with the punch mark, use
full length shims to raise one end of the chiller until
the water level at each end of the tube aligns with
the punch marks at both ends of the chiller.
5. Once the unit is level across its length, repeat the
first three steps to level the unit across its width.
