4.2.3 Unit Location Recommendations

When selecting and preparing the unit installation location, consider the following recommendations.

1. Consider the unit weight. Reference the unit weight on the unit nameplate

2. Allow sufficient space for the recommended clearances, access panel removal, and

maintenance access.

3. The installer must provide external rigging for ceiling mounted units.

4. All units must be installed level.

5. Coil piping and condensate drain requirements must be considered.

Allow room for proper ductwork and electrical connections. Support all piping and ductwork

independently of unit to prevent excess noise and vibration.

4.2.4 Skid Removal

The unit ships on skids that provide forklift locations from the front or rear. The skid allows easy

maneuverability of the unit during storage and transportation. Remove the skids before placing the unit

in its permanent location. Remove the skids using a forklift or jack. Lift one end of the unit off of the

skids.
