responsibility of the customer. Adherence to recommended equipment maintenance procedures, according to
the owners manual provided with each unit, is required for this warranty to remain in effect, and can have a
substantial effect on extending the service life of your equipment. Equipment abuse voids any warranty.
Extended warranties are not available for parts, labor or compressors on units shipped outside the United
States.
Freight Damage
Any and all freight damage that occurs to a Randell piece of equipment as a result of carrier handling is not
considered warranty, and is not covered under warranty guidelines. Any freight damage incurred during
shipping needs to have a freight claim filed by the receiver with the shipping carrier (note all damages on
freight bill at time of delivery). Internal or concealed damage may fall under Randell’s responsibility dependent
upon the circumstances surrounding each specific incident and are at the discretion of the Randell in-house
service technician.
Gasket Coverage
Randell does not cover gaskets under warranty. Gaskets are a maintenance type component that are subject
to daily wear and tear and are the responsibility of the owner of the equipment. Because of the unlimited
number of customer related circumstances that can cause gasket failure all gasket replacement issues are
considered non-warranty. Randell recommends thorough cleaning of gaskets on a weekly basis with a mild
dish soap and warm water. With proper care Randell gaskets can last up to two years, at which time we
recommend replacement of all gaskets on the equipment for the best possible performance.

Unit Installation
A. Receiving Shipment
Upon arrival, examine the exterior of the shipping crate for signs of abuse. It is advisable that the shipping
crate be partially removed, in order to examine the cabinet for any possible concealed damages which might
have occurred during shipment. If no damages are evident, replace the crate in order to protect the unit during
storage and local delivery. If the unit is damaged, it should be noted on the delivery slip or bill of lading and
signed to that effect. A claim must be filed immediately against the carrier indicating the extent and estimated
cost of damage occurred.
B. Locating Your New Unit
The following conditions should be considered when selecting a location for your unit:
1. Floor Load - The area on which the unit will rest must be free of vibration and suitably strong enough to
support the combined weights of the unit plus the maximum product load weight.
2. Clearance - There must be a combined total of at least 3" clearance on all sides of the unit.
3. Ventilation - The air cooled self contained unit requires a sufficient amount of cool clean air. Avoid surround-
ing your equipment around other heat generating equipment and out of direct sunlight, also avoid locating
in an unheated room or where the room temperature may drop below 55° F or above 90° F.
C. Electrical Supply
The wiring should be done by a qualified electrician in accordance with local electrical codes. A properly wired,
and grounded outlet will assure proper operation. Please consult the data tag attached to the compressor to
ascertain the correct electrical requirements. Supply voltage and amperage requirements are located on the
serial number tag located inside the far left drawer.
Note: It is important that a voltage reading be made at the compressor motor electrical connections, while the
unit is in operation, to verify that the correct voltage required by the compressor is being supplied. Low or
high voltage can detrimentally affect operation and thereby void its warranty.
Note: It is important that your unit has its own dedicated line. Condensing units are designed to operate with a
voltage fluctuation of plus or minus 10% of the voltage indicated on the unit data tag. Burn out of a
condensing unit due to exceeding voltage limits will void the warranty.
