PRE-INSTALLATION
1. The power supply (v, Ph, and Hz) must correspond to that 
specified on unit rating plate.
2. The electrical supply provided by the utility must be suffi-
cient to handle load imposed by this unit.
3. Refer to Installation, General section (page 2) and Fig. 2 for 
locations of electrical inlets, condensate drain, duct connec-
tions, and required clearances before setting unit in place.
4. This installation must conform with local building codes and 
with the NEC (National Electrical Code) or ANSI (American 
National Standards Institute)/NFPA (National Fire Protection 
Association) latest revision. Refer to provincial and local 
plumbing or wastewater codes and other applicable local 
codes.
Moving and Storage 
To transfer unit from truck to storage site, use a fork truck. Do not 
stack units more than 2 high during storage. If unit is to be stored 
for more than 2 weeks before installation, choose a level, dry stor-
age site free from vibration. Do not remove plastic wrap or skid 
from unit until final installation.
Rigging 
All 40RF Series units can be rigged by using the shipping skid. 
Units are shipped fully assembled. Do not remove shipping skids 
or protective covering until unit is ready for final placement; dam-
age to bottom panels can result. Use slings and spreader bars as 
applicable to lift unit.
INSTALLATION
General 
Allow the following clearances for service access and airflow:
• Rear: 2-1/2 ft (914 mm) [2-1/2 ft (762 mm) with electric 
heat accessory]
• Front: 2-1/2 ft (762 mm)
• Right Side: 3-1/2 ft (1067 mm)
• Left Side: 2-1/2 ft (762 mm)
For units equipped with an economizer, refer to the accessory 
installation instructions for additional clearance requirements. Be 
sure floor, wall, or ceiling can support unit weight (Tables 1-3). 
See Fig. 2 for dimensions.
Uncrating 
Move unit as near as possible to final location before removing 
shipping skid. 
Remove metal banding, top skid, and plastic wrap. Examine unit 
for shipping damage. If shipping damage is evident, file claim 
with transportation agency. Remove base skid just prior to actual 
installation. 
Check nameplate information against available power supply and 
model number description in Fig. 1.
NOTE: Be sure to remove the styrofoam shipping pad from the 
thermostatic expansion valve (TXV). Verify that it has been 
removed. (See Fig. 3.)
Accessories
Refer to instructions shipped with each accessory for specific 
information.
