Pre-Installation
Inspection
When the unit is delivered, verify that it is the correct unit
and that it is properly equipped.
Inspect all exterior components for visible damage. Report
any apparent damage or material shortage to the carrier
and make a “unit damage” notation on the carrier’s
delivery receipt. Specify the extent and type of damage
found and notify the appropriate Trane Sales Office.
Do not proceed with installation of a damaged unit without
sales office approval.
Inspection Checklist
To protect against loss due to damage incurred in transit,
complete the following checklist upon receipt of the unit.
•
Inspect the individual pieces of the shipment before
accepting the unit. Check for obvious damage to the
unit or packing material.
•
Inspect the unit for concealed damage as soon as
possible after delivery and before it is stored.
Concealed damage must be reported within 10 days
after receipt.
•
If concealed damage is discovered, stop unpacking the
shipment. Do not remove damaged material from the
receiving location. Take photos of the damage, if
possible. The owner must provide reasonable
evidence that the damage did not occur after delivery.
•
Notify the carrier’s terminal of the damage
immediately, by phone and by mail. Request an
immediate, joint inspection of the damage with the
carrier and the consignee.
•
Notify the Trane sales representative and arrange for
repair. Do not repair the unit, however, until damage is
inspected by the transportation representative.
Storage
Extended storage of the unit prior to the installation
requires the following precautions:
Store the unit in a secured area, to avoid intentional
damages.
Close the suction, discharge and liquid-line isolation
valves.
At least every three months (quarterly), check the pressure
in the refrigerant circuits to verify that the refrigerant
charge is intact. If it is not, contact a qualified service
organization and the appropriate Trane sales office.
Note:
If the unit is stored before servicing near a
construction site it is highly recommended to
protect micro-channel coils from any concrete
dust. Failure to do so may considerably reduce
reliability of the unit.
