All INStAllAtIONS:
ImPOrtANt NOte: Unit should be energized 24 hours pri-
or to compressor start up to ensure crankcase heater
has sufciently warmed the compressors. Compressor
damage may occur if this step is not followed.
NOTE: This appliance is a dedicated downow design.
Proper installation of the unit ensures trouble-free operation.
Improper installation can result in problems ranging from
noisy operation to property or equipment damages, danger-
ous conditions that could result in injury or personal property
damage. Damage or repairs due to improper installation
are not covered under the warranty. Give this booklet to the
user and explain it’s provisions. The user should retain these
instructions for future reference.
• For proper ame pattern within the heat exchanger
and proper condensate drainage, the unit must be
mounted level.
• The ue outlet must be at least 12 inches from any
opening through which flue gases could enter a
building, and at least three feet above any forced
air inlet located within ten feet. The economizer/
manual fresh air intake/motorized fresh air intake
and combustion air inlet mounted on the unit are not
affected by this restriction.
• To avoid possible corrosion of the heat exchanger,
do not locate the unit in an area where the outdoor
air (i.e. combustion air for the unit) will be frequently
contaminated by compounds containing chlorine or
uorine. Common sources of such compounds include
swimming pool chemicals and chlorine bleaches, paint
stripper, adhesives, paints, varnishes, sealers, waxes
(which are not yet dried) and solvents used during
construction and remodeling. Various commercial and
industrial processes may also be sources of chlorine/
uorine compounds.
• To avoid possible illness or death of the building
occupants, do NOT locate outside air intake device
(economizer, manual fresh air intake, motorized
fresh air intake) too close to an exhaust outlet, gas
vent termination, or plumbing vent outlet. For specic
distances required, consult local codes.
• Allow minimum clearances from the enclosure for
re protection, proper operation, and service access
(see unit clearances). These clearances must be
permanently maintained.
• The combustion air inlet and ue outlet on the unit
must never be obstructed. If used, do not allow the
economizer/manual fresh air damper/ motorized fresh
air damper to become blocked by snow or debris. In
some climates or locations, it may be necessary to
elevate the unit to avoid these problems.
•
Damper must be in open position when appliance main
burner(s) is operating.
Le registre doit être ouvert lorsque tout brûleur principal
de l’appareil est en état de fonctionnement.
•
When the unit is heating, the temperature of the return
air entering the unit must be between 50° F and 100° F.
GrOuND level INStAllAtIONS ONly:
• When the unit is installed on the ground adjacent
to the building, a level concrete (or equal) base is
recommended. Prepare a base that is 3” larger than
the package unit footprint and a minimum of 3” thick.
• The base should also be located where no runoff of
water from higher ground can collect in the unit.
rOOF tOP INStAllAtIONS ONly:
•To avoid possible property damage or personal injury,
the roof must have sufcient structural strength to
carry the weight of the unit(s) and snow or water
loads as required by local codes. Consult a structural
engineer to determine the weight capabilities of the
roof.
• The unit may be installed directly on wood oors or on
Class A, Class B, or Class C roof covering material.
• To avoid possible personal injury, a safe, at surface
for service personnel should be provided.
•As indicated on the unit data plate, a minimum
clearance of 36” to any combustible material is
required on the furnace access side of the unit. All
combustible materials must be kept out of this area.
•This 36” clearance must also be maintained to
insure proper combustion air and ue gas ow. The
combustion air intake and furnace ue discharge must
not be blocked for any reason, including blockage by
snow.
• Adequate clearances from the furnace ue discharge
to any adjacent public walkways, adjacent buildings,
building openings or openable windows must be
maintained in accordance with the latest edition of
the National Fuel Gas Code (ANSI Z223.1)
•Minimum horizontal clearance of 48” from the furnace
ue discharge to any electric meters, gas meters,
regulators and relief equipment is required.
uNIt PreCAutIONS
• Do not stand or walk on the unit.
• Except for holes in the wiring entrances (see Figure
below), do not drill holes anywhere in panels or in the
base frame of the unit. Unit access panels provide
structural support.
• Do not remove any access panels until unit has been
installed on roof curb or eld supplied structure.
• Do not roll unit across nished roof without prior
approval of owner or architect.
• Do not skid or slide on any surface as this may
damage unit base. The unit must be stored on a at,
level surface. Protect the condenser coil because it
is easily damaged.
