Notice
Oil Loss!
To prevent oil migration out of the oil tank during
lifting procedures, remove the oil from the oil tank
if the unit will be lifted at any angle greater than 15°
from horizontal end-to-end. If oil is allowed to run out
of the oil tank into other areas of the chiller, it will
be extremely difficult to return the oil to the oil tank
even during operation. Failure to prevent oil migration
out of the oil tank could result in equipment failure or
property-only damage.

Notice
Equipment Damage!
Do not use a fork lift to move the chiller! Moving the
chiller using a fork lift could result in equipment or
property-only damage.

Notice
Compressor Alignment!
Lifting the compressor/motor assembly from the shells
without factory-installed doweling in the compressor
casting flanges could result in misalignment of the
compressor castings. Failure to preserve compressor
alignment could result in equipment or property-only
damage.
If the chiller cannot be moved using a standard chiller
lift, consider the following:
•
When job site conditions require rigging of the chiller
at an angle greater than 45° from horizontal (end-
to-end) dowel-pin the compressor and remove it
from the unit. Be sure to contact a qualified service
organization for specific rigging instructions. Do not
attempt to rotate chiller on to side.
•
When lifting the chiller is either impractical or unde-
sirable, attach cables or chains to the jacking slots
shown in
across a smooth surface. Should the chiller be on a
shipping skid, it is not necessary to remove the ship-
ping skid from the chiller before moving it into place.
•
If removal of the compressor or economizer assem-
bly is necessary to move the chiller to the operating
location, contact Trane for special instructions con-
cerning chiller disassembly and reassembly proce-
dures.
Unit Isolation
To minimize sound and vibration transmission through
the building structure, and to assure proper weight dis-
tribution over the mounting surface, always install isola-
tion pads or spring isolators under the chiller feet.
Note:
) are provided with
each chiller unless spring isolators are specified
on the sales order.
Specific isolator loading data is provided in the unit
submittal package. If necessary, contact your local Trane
sales office for further information.
Important:
When determining placement of isolation
pads or spring isolators, remember that
the control panel side of the unit is always
designated as the unit front.
Isolation Pads
When the unit is ready for final placement, position iso-
lation pads (6” sides) end for end under the full length of
the chiller leg. The pads measure 6”×18” (152.4x457 mm)
and on some units there may be small gaps between
pads. Pads are provided to cover entire foot.

Remember that the chiller must be level within 1/16”
(1.6 mm) over its length and width after it is lowered
