3. For ground level installation, a level pad or slab should 
be used. The thickness and size of the pad or slab used 
should meet local codes and unit weight. Do not tie the 
slab to the building foundation.
4. For roof top installation, be sure the structure will support 
the weight of the unit plus any field installed components. 
Unit must be installed on a level roof curb or appropriate 
angle iron frame providing adequate support under the 
compressor/condenser section.
5. Maintain level tolerance of unit to 1/8" maximum.
CLEARANCES
All units require certain clearances for proper operation and 
service. Refer to Table 12 for the clearances required for 
combustion, construction, servicing and proper unit opera-
tion.
RIGGING OR HANDLING
Care must be exercised when moving the unit. Do not 
remove any packaging until the unit is near the place of 
installation. Rig unit with slings placed under the unit. 
Spreader bars of sufficient length should be used across the 
top of the unit.
Units may also be moved or lifted with a fork-lift. Slotted 
openings in the skid are provided for this purpose. Forks 
must pass completely through the base.
Refer to Table 2 for unit weights and to Figure 2 for approxi-
mate center of gravity. 
 
DUCT WORK
These units are adaptable to downflow use as well as rear 
supply and return air duct openings. To convert to downflow, 
use the following steps:
1. Remove the duct covers found in the bottom return and 
supply air duct openings. There are four (4) screws 
securing each duct cover (save these screws to use in 
Step 2).
2. Install the duct covers (removed in step one) to the rear 
supply and return air duct openings. Secure with the four 
(4) screws used in step one.
3. Seal duct covers with silicone caulk.
Do not permit overhanging structures or shrubs to 
obstruct the condenser air discharge, combustion 
air inlet or vent outlet.
Before lifting a unit, make sure that its weight is 
distributed equally on the cables so that it will lift 
evenly.
