SAFETY CONSIDERATIONS

Consult a qualified installer, service agency, or the dealer/

distributor for information and assistance. The qualified

installer must use factory authorized kits and accessories

when modifying this product. Refer to the individual in-

structions packaged with the kit or accessory when instal-

ling.

The weight of the product requires careful and proper

handling procedures when lifting or moving to avoid per-

sonal injury. Use care to avoid contact with sharp or

pointed edges.

Follow all safety codes. Wear safety glasses, protective

clothing, and work gloves. Use a heat sinking material −

such as a wet rag − during brazing operations. Keep a fire

extinguisher available. Consult local codes and the Na-

tional Electric Code (NEC) for special requirements.

Improper installation, adjustment, alteration, service or

CAUTION

PROPERTY DAMAGE HAZARD

Failure to follow this caution may result in proper-

ty damage

R−410A systems operate at higher pressures than

R−22 systems. When working with R−410A sys-

tems, use only service equipment and replace-

ment components specifically rated or approved

for R−410A service.

LOCATION

Check local codes for regulations concerning zoning,

noise, platforms, and other issues.

Locate unit away from fresh air intakes, vents, or bed-

room windows. Noise may carry into the openings and

disturb people inside.

Locate unit in a well drained area, or support unit high

enough so that water runoff will not enter the unit.

Locate unit away from areas where heat, lint, or exhaust

fumes will be discharged onto unit (as from dryer vents).

Locate unit away from recessed or confined areas where

recirculation of discharge air may occur (refer to CLEAR-

ANCES section of this document).

Roof−top installation is acceptable providing the roof will

support the unit and provisions are made for water drain-

age and noise/vibration dampening.

NOTE: Roof mounted units exposed to wind may require

wind baffles. Consult the manufacturer for additional in-

formation.

CLEARANCES

Nominal minimum clearances are 48 inches above unit

for discharge air and 18 inches on each side of the coil for

intake air. Clearance on any one side of the coil (normally

between unit and structure) may be reduced to 6 inches.

Nominal minimum clearances are based on a solid paral-

lel object such as a wall or roof overhang.

The clearance may be reduced for a single object with

small surface area, such as the end of a wall, outside cor-

ner of a wall, fence section, post, etc. As a general rule,

the minimum clearance from the unit should equal the

width of the object. For example, a 6 inch fence post

should be a minimum of 6 inches from the unit.

Do not install unit under roof overhangs unless gutters are

present. A minimum vertical clearance of 48 inches is re-

quired to the overhang.

Inside corner locations on single story structures require

evaluation. Large overhanging soffits may cause air recir-

culation in a corner area even though recommended mini-

mum clearances are maintained. As a guide, locate the

unit far enough out so that half of the discharge grille is out

from under the soffit.

When placing two or more units side−by−side, provide a

minimum of 18 inches between units.

Provide minimum service clearance of 24 inches from

control box corner and side service panel.
