SafetyInformationandGuidelines
Onlyqualifiedservicetechniciansshould
attempttoinstall,service,ormaintaintheIce
Flaker.
Makesureallpowersourcesaredisconnected
beforeanyserviceworkisdonetotheIce
Flaker.
Allfieldwiringmustconformtothe
requirementsoftheequipmentandall
applicablelocalcodesandnationalcodes.
Always
refertotheCondensingUnit
manufacturer’sinstallationmanualforfurther
specificationandguidance.
Inspection
Uponreceipt,checkallitemsagainstthebillof
ladingtomakesureallcratesandcartonsare
accountedfor.
Anyshortageordamagesshouldbereportedto
thedeliveringcarrier.Damagedmaterial
becomesthedeliveringcarrier’sresponsibility
andshouldnotbereturnedtothe
manufacturerunlesspriorapprovalisgiven.

Takecarenottodamageequipmentwhen
uncrating.
CondensingUnitRiggingand
Mounting
Riggingholesareprovidedonallunits.Caution
shouldbeexercisedwhenmovingtheseunits.
Topreventdamagetotheunithousingduring
rigging,cablesorchainsusedmustbeheld
apartbyspacerbars.Themountingplatformor
baseshouldbelevelandlocatedsoastopermit
freeaccess
ofsupplyair.
GroundMounting
Concreteslabraisedsixinchesaboveground
levelprovidesasuitablebase.Raisingthebase
abovegroundlevelprovidessomeprotection
fromgroundwaterandwind‐blownmatter.
Beforetighteningmountin gbolts,rechecklevel
ofunit.Theunitshouldinallcasesbelocated
with
aclearspaceinalldirectionsthatisata
minimum,equaltotheheightoftheunitabove
themountingsurface.Acondensingunit
mountedinacornerformedbytwowalls,may
resultindischargeairrecirculationwith
resultinglossofcapacity.
RoofMounting
Duetotheweightof
theunits,astructural
analysisbyaqualifiedengineermayberequired
beforemounting.Roofmountedunitsshould
beinstalledlevelonsteelchannelsoranI‐beam
framecapableofsupportingtheweightofthe
unit.
Access
Provideadequatespaceatthecompressorend
oftheunitforservicing.
Provideadequate
spaceontheconnectionsidetopermitservice
ofcomponents.
