INFORMATION
Handling
Care must be taken in handling the floor mount unit and other accessories to ensure that this
equipment does not sustain any damage. It is recommended that the floor mount unit(s) be
transported individually on a two-wheel cart where size permits.
The protective shipping and packaging should remain on the unit until it is ready for installation.
During construction, the unit must not be run and shall be sheltered from contaminants and debris
such as drywall dust, wood chips, and paint that could damage the fan or block the cooling/heating
coil which may result in diminished performance.
Storage
The unit must at all times be stored in an upright position with the compressor section down and the
fan section oriented up.
Failure to maintain the unit in an upright position may result in permanent damage to the unit.
Dropping the heat pump or exposing it to extreme shock or vibration may also result in permanent
damage to the interior components and piping.
The unit should be stored in a non-corrosive environment sheltered from conditions of extreme
temperature or humidity. Subjecting the unit to conditions of this nature may result in significantly
reduced performance, reliability, and operational life.
The unit is intended for interior use only and should be stored indoors at all times to protect it from
the elements and to help eliminate the potential growth of indoor air quality (IAQ) contaminants.
If indoor storage is not possible, the equipment may be stored outdoors during the summer months
only, if the following provisions are met:
1. The equipment must be placed on a dry surface, or raised off the ground in a manner which
allows for air-circulation beneath the unit.
2. A waterproof tarp must be used to cover the equipment in order to provide protection from
the elements.
3. Continuous ventilation to the units must be provided to help prevent moisture accumulation
on the interior and exterior surfaces. Moisture buildup on, or within the unit’s insulation may
result in microbial growth that can lead to odors and serious health-related IAQ problems.
4. The units must be stored in their original packaging.
5. The individual units shall not be stacked on top of one another.
6. If the unit was previously in use, ensure that all water in the coil has been blown out and that
all hose connections are plugged during storage.
