INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
A
TTENTION INSTALLING PERSONNEL
As a professional installer, you have an obligation to know
the product better than the customer . This includes all safety
precautions and related items.
Prior to actual installation, thoroughly familiarize yourself
with this Instruction Manual. Pay special attention to all
safety warnings. Often during installation or repair, it is
possible to place yourself in a position which is more hazardous than when the unit is in operation.
Remember, it is your responsibility to install the product
safely and to know it well enough to be able to instruct a
customer in its safe use.
Safety is a matter of common sense...a matter of thinking
before acting. Most dealers have a list of specific good safety
practices...follow them.
The precautions listed in this Installation Manual are intended
as supplemental to existing practices. However, if there is
a direct conflict between existing practices and the content of this manual, the precautions listed here take precedence.

CARBON MO NOXIDE POISONING HAZARD
Special Warning for Installation of Furnace or Air Handling Units in
Enclosed Areas such as Garages, Utility Rooms or Parking A reas
Carbon monoxide producing devices (such as an automobile, space
heater, gas water heater, etc.) should not be operated in enclosed areas
such as unventilated garages, utility rooms or parking a reas because of
the danger of carbon monoxide (CO) poisoning resulting from the exhaust
emissions. If a furnace or air handler is installed in an enclosed area such
as a garage, utility room or parking area and a carbon monoxide producing
device is operated therein, there must be adequate, direct outside
ventilation.
This ventilation is necessary to avoid the danger of CO poisoning which
can occur if a carbon monoxide producing device continues to operate in
the enclosed area. Carbon monoxide emissions can be (r e)circulated
throughout the structure if the furnace or air handler is operating in any
mode.
CO can cause serious illness including permanent brain damage or death.

HIPPING INSPECTION
All units are securely packed in shipping containers tested
according to IST A specifications. The carton must be checked
upon arrival for external damage. If damage is found, a
request for inspection by carrier’s agent must be made in
writing immediately.
Inspect the kit carefully on arrival for damage and screws
or wires which may have come loose in transit. In the event
of damage the consignee should:
1. Make a notation on delivery receipt of any visible
damage to shipment or container.
2. Notify carrier promptly and request an inspection.
3. With concealed damage, carrier must be notified as soon
as possible - preferably within five days.
4. File the claim with the following support documents
within a nine month statute of limitations.
• Original or certified copy of the Bill of Lading, or
indemnity bond.
• Original paid freight bill or indemnity in lieu thereof.
• Original or certified copy of the invoice, showing
trade and other discounts or reductions.
• Copy of the inspection report issued by carrier’s
representative at the time damage is reported to
carrier.
1. Remove the upper access panel from the air handler.
2. Remove and retain the four (4) screws securing the cover
plate. Remove and discard the cover plate.
3. For electric heat kits with circuit breakers, remove the
two screws securing the circuit breaker mounting plate
to the electric heat face plate.
NOTE: The circuit breakers for the 25kW are placed
separately in the carton and are not attached to the
heater plate.
4. Slide the electric heat kit into the opening in the air
handler, making sure the direction of airflow decal
attached to the electric heat face plate is pointing in
the correct direction, and secure the electric heat face
plate using the screws removed in Step 2. Use caution
to not bend or damage the electric heating elements,
the limit switches or fuses during this process. See Figure
1.
