Pre-Installation
Receiving and Handling
Inspection
Upon delivery, thoroughly inspect all components for any
shipping damage that may have occurred, and confirm
that the shipment is complete. See “Receiving Checklist”
section for detailed instructions.
Note: Delivery cannot be refused for any reason. All units
are shipped F.O.B. factory. Trane is not responsible
for freight damage when shipped F.O.B. factory.
Packaging/Shipping
Performance air handlers ship as a complete unit or in
individual sections to be field assembled. Indoor air
handler sections are stretch-wrapped or shrink-wrapped
before shipping. All factory shipping protection should be
removed upon delivery. This wrapping is for transit
protection only.
Indoor Performance air handlers ship in subassemblies if
the total length of the units exceeds 98 inches or if the total
weight exceeds the limits shown in Table 1.
Note: These limits are based on a four-point lift.
Outdoor Performance air handler sections are not
wrapped, but openings are covered to comply with LEED
EQ Credit 5.
Table 2 outlines weight and length shipping limits for
outdoor air handler sections.
Smaller components and hardware may be shipped
separately, or shipped inside the unit. This hardware is
typically packaged in a clear plastic envelope or cardboard
box, and can be found inside the fan, mixing box, or access
section.
Identification
Each air handler section includes a nameplate identifying
the section type and functional components, customer
tagging information, unit serial number, unit order
number, the build-section position for installation, and the
unit model number. See Figure 1, p. 5.
Handling
Air handlers have an integral base frame designed with
the necessary number of lift points for safe installation.
See “Lifting and Rigging,” p. 23.
Indoor air handlers sizes 3-30 are shipped with a shipping
skid designed for forklift transport.

Check to ensure that the shipment is complete. Small
components may ship inside the unit or ship
separately. Check the parts list to ensure all materials
are present. If any component is missing, contact your
local Trane sales office.
Check all units, components, connections, and piping.
Check fan wheel for free rotation by spinning
manually. Check all doors, latches and hinges. Inspect
interior of each unit or section. Inspect coils for
damage to fin surface and coil connections. Check for
rattles, bent corners, or other visible indications of
shipping damage. Tighten loose connections.
If a unit is damaged, make specific notations
concerning the damage on the freight bill. Do not
refuse delivery.
Notify the carrier’s terminal of the damage
immediately by phone and mail. Request an
immediate joint inspection of the damage by the
carrier and consignee.
Notify your Trane sales representative of the damage
and arrange for repair. Do not attempt to repair the unit
without consulting the Trane representative.
Inspect the unit for concealed damage as soon as
possible after delivery. Report concealed damage to
the freight line. It is the receiver’s responsibility to
provide reasonable evidence that concealed damage
did not occur after delivery. Take photos of damaged
material if possible.
Note: Concealed damage must be reported within 15
days of receipt.
