Installation
IMPORTANT: Effective January 1, 2015, all split system and packaged
air  conditioners  must  be  installed  pursuant  to  applicable  regional
efficiency standards issued by the Department of Energy.
Check Equipment and Job Site
UNPACK UNIT
Move to final location. Remove carton taking care not to damage unit. 
Inspect Equipment
File  claim  with  shipping  company  prior  to  installation  if  shipment  is
damaged or incomplete. Locate unit rating plate on unit corner panel. It
contains information needed to properly install unit. Check rating plate
to be sure unit matches job specifications.
Install on a Solid, Level Mounting Pad
If conditions or local codes require the unit be attached to pad, tie down
bolts  should  be  used and  fastened  through  knockouts  provided  in  unit
base pan. Refer to unit mounting pattern in Fig. 2 to determine base pan
size and knockout hole location.
For  hurricane  tie  downs,  contact  local  distributor  for  details  and  PE
(Professional Engineer) certification, if required.

Fig. 2 – Tiedown Knockout Locations
On  rooftop  applications,  mount on  level platform  or  frame. Place  unit
above a load-bearing wall and isolate unit and tubing set from structure.
Arrange  supporting  members  to  adequately support  unit  and minimize
transmission  of  vibration  to  building.  Consult  local  codes  governing
rooftop applications.
Roof mounted units exposed to winds may require wind baffles. Consult
the  Application  Guideline  and  Service  Manual  -  Residential  Split
System Air Conditioners and Heat Pumps for wind baffle construction.
NOTE:  Unit must  be  level  to  within  ±2°  (±3/8  in./ft.±9.5  mm/m)  per
compressor manufacturer specifications.
Clearance Requirements
When  installing,  allow  sufficient  space  for  airflow  clearance,  wiring,
refrigerant  piping,  and  service.  Allow  24  in.  (610  mm)  clearance  to
service end of unit and 48 in. (1219 mm) (above unit. For proper airflow,
a 6-in. (152 mm) clearance on 1 side of unit and 12-in. (305 mm) on all
remaining sides must be maintained. Maintain a distance of 24 in. (610
mm) between units or 18 in. (457 mm) if no overhang within 12 ft. (3.67
m) Position so water, snow, or ice from roof or eaves cannot fall directly
on unit. 
NOTE: 18” (457 mm) clearance option described above is approved for
outdoor units with wire grille coil guard only. Units with louver panels
require 24” (610 mm) between units.
On rooftop applications, locate unit at least 6 in. (152 mm)  above roof
surface.
Operating Ambient
The  minimum  outdoor  operating  ambient  in  cooling  mode  without
accessory is 55°F (13°C).

WARNING
!
PERSONAL INJURY AND ENVIRONMENTAL
HAZARD
Failure to follow this warning could result in personal injury or death.
Relieve  pressure  and  recover  all  refrigerant  before  system  repair  or
final  unit  disposal.    Use  all  service  ports  and  open  all  flow-control
devices, including solenoid valves.
Federal  regulations  require  that  refrigerant  is  not  vented  into  the
atmosphere. Recover during system repair or final unit disposal.
