STORAGE
Both cabinet and chassis units are designed for indoor
use only. Care must be taken to protect the unit from
environmental damage. Store the chassis in an environ-
ment with a temperature above (32
o
F). To prevent con-
tamination the units should be stored indoors. For out-
door storage ensure:
• Units should be placed in an area that will not be
exposed to moisture damage. Units should be
placed on a dry surface and on a raised surface. Do
not stack units.
• Cover the units with a waterproof tarp.
• Failure to keep the units dry could result in the inte-
rior insulation becoming wet and cause the growth
of mold which is known to cause odors and serious
indoor air quality problems and health issues.
• Chassis units must be stored in the upright position
to keep oil in the compressor.
• Riser ends should be capped if being stored on site
to prevent contamination from foreign objects and
debris.
Wet insulation can cause the growth of mould.
Any sign of mould growth in the interior insula-
tion should be removed, cabinet interior disin-
fected with anti-microbial cleaner and re-
placed prior to operating the unit.
Do not store cabinets on their side when chas-
sis units are inside. Chassis units should al-
ways be stored and transported in the upright
position otherwise damage to chassis may
occur.
The refrigeration system of these units con-
tains POE oil. PVC/CPVC piping is prone to
failure when in contact with POE oil. PVC/
CPVC piping should not be used for water
supply and return with any heat pump prod
ucts as this may result in failure of the system
and serious property damage.
Do not rest or lean the unit on the risers. Do not use
the risers or stub-outs to pick up the unit. Only des-
ignated lift points should be used when moving or
lifting cabinets. Do not drop the risers.
5. CABINET & RISER INSTALLATION
Risers are designed to have slight adjustments
for riser system expansion and aligning the
stub-outs in the cabinet opening. When in-
stalling risers, do not let riser stubs bottom out
in the riser swage.
Risers are designed to allow for 1-1/2 inches of
movement due expansion and contraction. If
the total calculated riser expansion exceeds ±1
-1/2 inches the field must provide expansion
compensators.
Riser stub-outs should be located as centrally
as possible in the cabinet opening. Do not al-
low stub-outs to rest or contact the sheet metal
opening.
Do not allow the risers to bottom out when
installing into the swage.
FOR SHIPPED LOOSE RISER SHUT-OFF VALVES
Visually inspect riser stub-outs and shut-off
valves for debris or damage.
Follow industry standard soldering practices
when soldering shut-off valves to riser stub-
outs.
Ensure riser stub-out surface is cleaned of any
residue, soot or oils. Failure to adequately
clean soldering surfaces can result in water
leaks, property damage and physical injury.
When soldering shut-off valves to riser stub
outs, adequately protect cabinet, insulation
and any other equipment from exposure to
flames and heat.
CABINET INSTALL
1. When cabinets are shipped with risers attached, place
cabinets in a horizontal position on the floor (do not rest
cabinet on the risers).
2. If required, install any field or factory supplied riser
extensions to the unit mounted risers.
3. Raise the entire cabinet slowly upright while at the
same time lowering the risers through the floor cut-out
opening. Align the risers to the matching swaged section
of the riser on the floor below.
