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 contained in this manual is intended for
use by a qualified service technician familiar with safety
procedures and equipped with the proper tools 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: It isthe 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 Figure 1 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.
NOTE: Units with available filter racks (3-1/2 to 4 ton), need
a26" minimum clearance at side of unit for removal of filters.
See chart 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

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.
- The unit must be level and supported above grade by
beams, platform, or a pad. Platform or pad can be of
open or solid construction but should be of permanent
materials such as concrete, bricks, blocks, steel, or
pressure-treated timbers approved for ground contact.
Soil conditions must be considered so that the platform
or pad does not shift or settle and leave the unit partially
supported.
- Position platform separate from building foundation.
- Install inwell-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
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. See page 11 of this
manual for unit weights.
- 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.
- See Hoisting section for hoisting instructions.
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 9 on page 11 ofthis manual 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 linethat 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" (19.1 mm) drain line MUST be installed if required by
local codes or iflocation of unit requires it. Run the drain line
to an open drain or other suitable disposal point.

4. ELECTRICAL WIRING
ELECTRICAL SHOCK HAZARD.
Failure to follow this warning could result in personal
injury, death and/or property damage.
The unit cabinet must have an uninterrupted,
unbroken electrical ground to minimize the possibility
of serious injury if an electrical fault should occur.
This ground may consist of an electrical wire
connected to the unit ground lug in the control
compartment, or conduit approved for electrical
ground when installed in accordance with National
Electric Code (NEC) NFPA 70, and local electrical
codes. In Canada, follow Canadian Electrical Code
CSA (Canadian Standards Association) C22.1 and
local electrical codes.
