Position unit to allow adequate space for unobstructed
airflow, wiring, refrigerant lines, and serviceability.
Allow a minimum of 12 in. clearance on one side of access
panel to a wall and a minimum of 24 in. on the adjacent
side of access panel.
Maintain a distance of 24 in. between units.
Position unit so water, snow, or ice from roof or overhang
cannot fall directly on unit.
Note: It is recommended that these precautions be
taken for units being installed in areas where snow
accumulation and prolonged below-freezing
temperatures occur.
• Units should be elevated 3-12 inches above the pad
or rooftop, depending on local weather. This addi-
tional height will allow drainage of snow and ice
melted durIng defrost cycle prior to its refreezlng.
Ensure that drain holes in unit base pan are not
obstructed, preventing drainage of defrost water.
• If possible, avoid locations that are likely to accu-
mulate snow drifts. if not possible, a snow drift barrier
should be installed around the unit to prevent a
build-up of snow on the sides of the unit.
