Installation
General information: The installation must conform to
all local standards and regulations.
Reception of Units
Unit Handling
The unit is supplied on wooden blocks. It is
recommended to check the machine’s condition upon
reception.
There are two ways to handle the unit:
1. Handle the machine using a forklift, in accordance
with applicable safety regulations. Handling of the
unit is prohibited unless forks are longer than the
length of the unit (not recommended as there is a
risk of damage if not done carefully).
2. Use a lifting beam correctly adjusted to fit the unit
(recommended).
The units are supplied on the truck but are not
unloaded. A lifting lug is provided on each corner of the
unit’s base to facilitate handling. 4 shackles and 4 slings
are required.
Use a lifting beam to prevent the cables pressing too
hard on top of the unit during lifting.
Important:
For unit to fit on the roof curb the wooden
blocks must be removed.
Lifting and moving Instructions
Specific lifting method is recommended as follows:
1 - The units are supplied with four lifting points
2 - Slings and spreader bar to be provided by rigger and
attached to the four lifting points.
3 - Minimum rated lifting capacity (vertical) of each
sling and spreader bar shall be no less than the unit
shipping weight.
4 - Caution: The unit must be lifted with the utmost care.
Avoid shock load by lifting slowly and evenly.
5 - Remove slings and spreader bars when installation is
completed.
The detailed handling, lifting instructions including
all weights and sling lengths are given on the specific
drawings and instructions shipped with the unit.
Roof Curb Installation
Roof curbs are available as an accessory for “downflow”
units to support the unit and ensure the water tightness
between the rooftop and the roof. Four types of
roofcurbs are available: the standard version to allow the
installation of the unit on a flat roof with different return
flow patterns (return roofcurb down, return roofcurb
horizontal, multidirectional roofcurb) and the adjustable
version for a slope roof installation (adjustable roofcurb
down). The roofcurb characteristic is given in roofcurb
submittal drawings sent with the unit.
