replace the detailed instructions called out in the
applicable sections of this manual.
• Check the unit for shipping damage and material
shortage; file a freight claim and notify appropriate
sales representative.
• Verify correct model, options and voltage from unit
nameplate.
• Verify that the installation location of the unit will
provide the required clearance for proper operation.

Horizontal Discharge
Conversion (5 Ton Unit)
Supplies Needed by Installer for Conversion: 3 oz. tube of
High Temperature RTV sealant. (500°F / 260°C: Similar to
Dow Corning 736)
Note: Failure to use recommended sealant could result in
unit performance loss.
If a unit is to be converted to a Horizontal discharge, the
following conversion must be performed:
1. Remove RETURN and SUPPLY duct covers.
2. Locate supply cover. Apply ¼ in. (6mm.) continuous
bead of 500°F RTV sealant to the flange as shown.
3. Position duct cover as shown, rotate 90 degrees to
allow entrance into supply opening.
4. Slide duct covers into duct openings until inward edge
of duct cover engages with the 2 retaining clips on the
duct flanges. Secure the outward edge of each duct
cover with 2 screws.
5. Slide RETURN DUCT COVER (insulation side up) into
supply opening until inward edge of duct cover
engages with the 2 retaining clips on the duct flange.
Secure outward edge of the duct cover with two
screws.
Horizontal Discharge Conversion
