WARNING (SEE SECTION 3.2.2: VERTICAL DOWNFLOW)
The RXHB-17, RXHB-21 or RXHB-24 combustible oor base is required when
some units with electric heat are applied downow on combustible ooring.
Failure to use the base can cause a re resulting in property damage, personal
injury or death. See CLEARANCES for units requiring a combustible oor base.
See the accessory section in this manual for combustible oor base RXHB.
WARNING
These instructions are intended as an aid to qualied, licensed service per-
sonnel for proper installation, adjustment and operation of this unit. Read
these instructions thoroughly before attempting installation or operation.
Failure to follow these instructions may result in improper installation, adjust-
ment, service or maintenance possibly resulting in re, electrical shock, prop-
erty damage, personal injury or death.
WARNING
Duct leaks can create an unbalanced system and draw pollutants such as
dirt, dust, fumes and odors into the home causing property damage. Fumes
and odors from toxic, volatile or ammable chemicals, as well as automo-
bile exhaust and carbon monoxide (CO), can be drawn into the living space
through leaking ducts and unbalanced duct systems causing personal injury
or death (see Figure 1).
• If air-moving equipment or ductwork is located in garages or off-garage stor-
age areas - all joints, seams, and openings in the equipment and duct must
be sealed to limit the migration of toxic fumes and odors including carbon
monoxide from migrating into the living space.
• If air-moving equipment or ductwork is located in spaces containing fuel
burning appliances such as water heaters or boilers - all joints, seams, and
openings in the equipment and duct must also be sealed to prevent depres-
surization of the space and possible migration of combustion byproducts
including carbon monoxide into the living space.
WARNING (SEE SECTION 3.6: DUCTWORK)
Do not, under any circumstances, connect return ductwork to any other heat
producing device such as replace insert, stove, etc. Unauthorized use of
such devices may result in re, carbon monoxide poisoning, explosion, per-
sonal injury or property damage.
WARNING (SEE SECTION 7.0: MAINTENANCE)
Units with circuit breaker(s) meet requirements as a service disconnect
switch, however, if access is required to the line side (covered) of the circuit
breaker, this side of the breaker(s) will be energized with the breaker(s) de-en-
ergized. Contact with the line side can cause electrical shock resulting in per-
sonal injury or death.
WARNING (SEE SECTION 3.13.2: GROUNDING)
The unit must be permanently grounded. Failure to do so can result in electri-
cal shock causing personal injury or death.
WARNING
Because of possible damage to
equipment or personal injury,
installation, service, and mainte-
nance should be performed by a
trained, qualied service person-
nel. Consumer service is recom-
mended only for lter cleaning/re-
placement. Never operate the unit
with the access panels removed.
WARNING
If removal of the blower assembly
is required, all disconnect switch-
es supplying power to the equip-
ment must be de-energized and
locked (if not in sight of unit) so
the eld power wires can be safely
removed from the blower assembly.
Failure to do so can cause electrical
shock resulting in personal injury
or death.
WARNING
Disconnect all power to unit
before installing or servicing.
More than one disconnect switch
may be required to de-energize
the equipment. Hazardous volt-
age can cause severe personal
injury or death.
