2. SAFE INSTALLATION REQUIREMENTS
FIRE AND ELECTRICAL SHOCK HAZARD
Failure to carefully read and follow all instructions in this
manual could result in furnace malfunction, personal
injury, death and/or property damage.
Installation or repairs made by unqualified persons can
result in hazards to you and others. Installation MUST
conform with local building codes or, in the absence of
local codes, with the National Electrical Code
NFPA70-2005 or in Canada and CSA C.22.1 - Canadian
Electrical Code Part 1.
The information containedin this manual isintendedfor
use by a qualifiedservice technician familiar with safety
procedures and equipped withthe propertools and test
instruments.
• Seal supply and return air ducts.
• Check to see that filters are installed correctly and are
the proper type an size.
NOTE: Itis the personal responsibility and obligation of the
customer to contact a qualified installer to ensure that the
installation is adequate and conforms to governing codes
and ordinances.
3. LOCATING THE UNIT
ACCESS PANELS
See NO TAG for a general view of unit and location of
access panels.
CLEARANCES
The location MUST allow for minimum clearances and
should not be adjacent to a patio or other area where the
unit's operating sound level might be objectionable. The
combustion air inlet openings MUST not be obstructed (see
NO TAG). In addition, local codes MUST be observed.
NOTE: Units with available filter racks (3-1/2 to 5ton), need
a 26" minimum clearance at side of unit for removal of
filters. See Minimum Clearances below if unit is going to be
placed near combustible construction or materials.
While minimum clearances are acceptable for safety
reasons, they may not allow adequate air circulation around
the unit for proper operation inthe cooling mode. Whenever
possible, it is desirable to allow additional clearance,
especially around the condenser inlet and discharge
openings.
Do NOT install the unit in a location that will permit
discharged air from the condenser to recirculate to the
condenser inlet.
UNIT DAMAGE HAZARD
Failure to follow this caution may result in shorten life
of unit components.
Do NOT operate unit in a corrosive atmosphere
containing chlorine, fluorine, or any other corrosive
chemicals.

INSTALLATION
NOTICE
Unit will NOT operate properly unless it is installed lev-
el front to rear and side to side. The slope MUST NOT be
greater than 1/8"per foot (10mm per meter). For side to
side leveling, the drain side MUST always be lower.
Ground Level Installation
Ground level platform requirements:
- The unit MUST be situated to provide safe access for
servicing.
- Platform may be made of either concrete or pressure
treated wood and MUST be level and strong enough to
support unit weight.
- Position platform separate from building foundation.
- Install in well-drained area, with top surface of platform
above grade level.
- Platform must be high enough to allow for proper
condensate trap installation and drainage. See
FIGURE 2 and associated text for more information
about condensate drainage.
Rooftop Installation
Rooftop platform requirements:
- The unit MUST be situated to provide safe access for
servicing.
- The existing roof structure MUST be adequate to
support the weight of the unit or the roof MUST be
Control Box
[]
reinforced.
Check the weight of the unit in relation to the roof
structure and local building codes or ordinances and
reinforce roof structure if necessary.
- Support for the unit MUST be level and strong enough
to carry unit weight. The support may consist of a
platform or a combination of platform and roof beams or
curb.
HOISTING
NOTE: All access panels MUST be secured in place before
hoisting.
The unit should be hoisted with two lifting slings. Attach the
slings to rigging shackles that have been hooked through
holes in the base rail.
Two spreader bars MUST be placed on top of the unit to
protect the unit from damage from the pressure exerted by
the slings. Make sure that all equipment is adequate to
handle the weight ofthe unit and that the slings will not allow
the unit to shift.
Refer to Figure 8 for illustrated rigging instructions and
weight chart.
DOWNFLOW CONVERSION
NOTE: In downflow applications with roof curbs or jack
stands, the center rail under the unit must be removed. The
center rail is attached to the base rail with screws.
These units are adaptable to downflow use. To convert to
downflow use, follow these steps:
1. Remove the blockoff plates found in the return air
compartment and the supply air compartment.
NOTE: Blockoff plate in the supply air compartment only
contains one screw. If reinstalling plate, back part of plate
MUST fit into mating dimples on flange. To reinstall, slant
plate into dimples, then put plate into position and fasten
with screw.
2. Install the removed plates on the horizontal return and
supply air openings.
3. Install roof curb on the building. Be sure to follow all
directions included with curb and all applicable building
codes in your installation.
Condensate Drain
The condensate drain outlet is a 3/4" (19.1 mm) female PVC
connection located at the bottom on the left hand side (see
FIGURE 2).
The circulating blower creates a negative pressure on the
condensate drain line that can prevent the condensate from
draining properly. To combat this negative pressure, a field
supplied condensate trap that will allow a standing column
of water of at least 2" (50.8mm) MUST be installed. Top of
outlet from trap MUST be at least 1" (25.4mm) below top of
outlet from unit. Install the trap as near to the unit as
possible for proper drainage,
A 3/4" (19.1mm) drain line MUST be installed if required by
local codes or if location of unit requires it. Run the drain line
to an open drain or other suitable disposal point.
