LocaƟon
The unit is designed to be located outdoors with sufficient
clearance for free entrance to the air inlet and discharge air
openings. Thelocationmustalsoallow for adequate service
access. Figure 1 shows a typical installation.
The unit must be installed on a solid foundation that will not
settleorshift.Adequatestructural support must beprovided.
Maintain minimum clearances as shown in Figure 1 and
Table 1 and install the unit in level position. Isolate the base
fromthe building structure to avoidpossible transmission of
sound or vibration into the conditioned space.
The heat pump unit foundation should be raised to
a minimum of 3” above finish grade. In areas which
have prolonged periods of temperature below freezing and
snowfall, the heat pump unit should be elevated above the
average snow line. Extra precaution should be taken to
allow free drainage of condensate from defrost cycles to
prevent ice accumulation. The unit should not be located
near walkways to prevent possible icing of surface from
defrost condensate.
Avoid placingtheunit nearquietareassuchas sleeping
quarters or study rooms. Normal operating sound levels
maybeobjectionableiftheunit is placed near certainrooms.
Do not permit overhanging structures or shrubs to
obstruct condenser air discharge inlet or outlet.
For improved start-up performance, the indoor coil
should be washed with suitable detergent to remove
any residue from manufacturing processes.
Roof Curb InstallaƟon
If a roof curb is used, follow the manufacturer’s Installation
Instructions and be sure that all required clearances are
observed (see Clearances on page 3).
These units are shipped with four corner brackets in place
on the underside of the unit (see Figure 2). For heat
pumps the two rear corner brackets must be removed
before unit is installed onto roof curb assembly. For
air conditioner units remove all four corner brackets
before installing on roof curb.
These instructions explain the recommended method of
