Installation Manual

TO THE INSTALLER
Carefully read all instructions for the installation prior to installing unit.
Make sure each step or procedure is understood and any special con-
siderations are taken into account before starting installation. Assemble
all tools, hardware and supplies needed to complete the installation.
Some items may need to be purchased locally. After deciding where
to install unit, closely look the location over - both the inside and out-
side of home. Note any potential obstacles or problems that might be
encountered as noted in this manual. Choose a more suitable loca-
tion if necessary.
IMPORTANT NOTE: If a crankcase heater is used, the unit
should be energized 24 hours prior to compressor start up to
ensure crankcase heater has sufficiently warmed the compres-
sor. Compressor damage may occur if this step is not fol-
lowed.
Before using this manual, check the serial plate for proper
model identification.
The installation and servicing of this equipment must be
performed by qualified, experienced technicians only.
SHIPPING INSPECTION
Upon receiving the unit, inspect it for damage from shipment. Claims
for damage, either shipping or concealed, should be filed immediately
with the shipping company. Check the unit model number, specifica-
tions, electrical characteristics and accessories to determine if
they are correct. In the event an incorrect unit is shipped, it must be
returned to the supplier and must NOT be installed. The manufac-
turer assumes no responsibility for installation of incorrectly
shipped units.
