Safety Considerations
920-164-02 (10-04)
Improper installation, adjustment, alteration, service,
maintenance, or use can cause explosion, fi re, electrical
shock, or other conditions which may cause personal injury or

or your distributor or dealer for information and assistance.
The qualifi ed installer or agency must use factory-authorized
parts or accessories when modifying this product. Refer to the
Follow all safety codes. Wear safety glasses and work
gloves. Read these instructions thoroughly and follow all
warnings or cautions attached to the unit. Always install
units in accordance with local building codes, the National
Electric Code (NEC), and the Installation Standards, Warm
Air Heating and Air Conditioning Systems ANSI/NFPA 90B
for special installation requirements.
individual instructions packaged with the parts or accessories
when installing.
General Recommendations (Do's And Don't's)
●
DO read the instructions completely before installation.
●
DO take time to perform a quality installation.
●
DO install drain heater accessory if outdoor design
temperature is 15°F or below.
●
DO NOT obstruct or restrict indoor or outdoor air paths.
●
When using fl ex duct: DO install properly. DO NOT crush
or make sharp bends in fl ex duct, use only gradual bends.
●
DO tape and seal all duct joints.
●
DO check the indoor conditioned air duct system static
pressure losses. It should not exceed those listed in Table
2. Consult your dealer or distributor for more information.
●
When designing indoor supply systems, DO NOT reduce
air intakes or discharge sizes.
●
DO insulate ALL conditioned air duct system components.
●
DO NOT locate room thermostat near conditioned air
diffusers.
●
DO locate thermostat on an interior wall.
●
DO check that condensate drain line drains freely.
●
DO NOT let debris fall and collect in indoor or outdoor
blowers.
●
DO NOT drill into unit (except for 1 in. fl anges for ducted
return units). This could cause a refrigerant leak.
●
DO handle unit with care.
●
DO provide minimum installation and service clearances.
●
DO build closet so that unit may be removed if necessary.
●
DO follow all guidelines for indoor and outdoor air system.
●
DO NOT substitute any components without checking
with your dealer or distributor. If you do substitute, get
approval in writing. Substitutions without approval void
unit warranty.
●
DO NOT guess, consult your dealer or distributor if any
portion of the installation procedure is unclear.
Unpack and Inspect Unit
