SECTION 6: LIFTING AN AIR HANDLER
(RIGGING)
The air handler must be installed in compliance with
all applicable codes. The qualified installer or service
technician must use best building practices when
installing the air handler and any optional equipment.
This appliance requires at least 4 CFM (6.8
m
3
/h) of
outside air per 1,000 Btu/h (.293 kW). Any air
handler that recirculates air from the heated space
must use the return air opening to prevent any return
air from passing over the burner.
IMPORTANT: Four eye bolts are provided with each
upright air handler. These eye bolts are to be used
when lifting the air handler for placement on the
provided support legs. DO NOT Install the support
legs prior to lifting the air handler, damage to the legs
and /or air handler may occur.
6.1 Preparing to Lift the Air Handler
Prior to lifting the air handler, the following steps must
be performed:
1. R e m o ve all packaging or banding that attached
the air handler to the skid and ensure that the
air handler is no longer bound to a skid or truck
bed.
2. Remove all packaging or blockers.
3. Remove all of the accessories or packages that
were shipped on the same skid, inside the air
handler, or inside the control enclosure.
4. Inspect the air handler to:
• Verify that there is no damage as a result of
shipping.
•Ensure that it is appropriately rated for the
utilities available at the installation site.
• Verify that the eye bolts (lifting lugs) are
intact, undamaged and secured to the air
handler.
•Ensure factory-installed hardware is
torqued to appropriate setting.
5. Prepare the installation location to be ready to
accept the air handler (i.e. roof curb or legs).
6. Verify that the lifting equipment can handle the
air handler’s weight and the required reach.
