ALL phases of this installation must comply with NATIONAL, STATE AND LOCAL CODES
Important: This Document is customer property and is to remain with this unit. Please return to service information
pack upon completion of work.
These instructions do not cover all variations in systems
nor provide for every possible contingency to be met in
connection with the installation. Should further information be desired or should particular problems arise which
are not covered sufficiently for the purchaser’s purposes,
the matter should be referred to your installing dealer or
local distributor.
Note: The manufacturer recommends installing ONLY
A.H.R.I. approved, matched indoor and outdoor systems.
Some of the benefits of installing approved matched
indoor and outdoor split systems are maximum efficiency, optimum performance, and the best overall system
reliability.
Note: Condensation may occur on the surface of the air
handler when installed in an unconditioned space. When
units are installed in unconditioned spaces, verify that
all electrical and refrigerant line penetrations on the air
handler are sealed completely.
The GAM5 air handlers will only use
the following internal electric heaters:

CAUTION

SAFETY HAZARD! This information is intended for use
by individuals possessing adequate backgrounds of electrical and
mechanical experience. Any attempt to repair a central air conditioning product may result in personal injury and/or property damage.
The manufacturer or seller cannot be responsible for the interpretation of this information, nor can it assume any liability in connection
with its use.
LIVE ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS! During instal-
lation, testing, servicing, and troubleshooting of this product, it may
be necessary to work with live electrical components. Failure to follow all electrical safety precautions when exposed to live electrical
components could result in death or serious injury.
HAZARDOUS VAPORS! Do not install an air handler
with a non-ducted return in the same closet, alcove, or utility
room as a fossil fuel device. Hazardous vapors can be distributed
throughout the conditioned space and equipment damage can
result.
CORROSION HAZARD! To prevent shortening its service
life, the air handler should not be used during the finishing phases
of construction. The low return air temperatures can lead to the
formation of condensate. Condensate in the presence of chlorides
and fluorides from paint, varnish, stains, adhesives, cleaning compounds, and cement creates a corrosive condition which may cause
rapid deterioration of the cabinet and internal components.
SAFETY HAZARD! Sharp Edge Hazard. Be careful of sharp
edges on equipment or any cuts made on sheet metal while installing or servicing. Personal injury may result.
Important: Due to the unique design of this unit, which
allows the electrical wiring to be routed within the insulation, do not screw, cut, or otherwise puncture the unit
cabinet in any location other than the ones illustrated in
this Installer Guide or in an approved accessory’s Installer Guide.
Important: Under no conditions should metal strapping
be attached to the unit to be used as support mechanisms for carrying or suspension purposes.

allowed.
(Typical all sides)
Screws allowed only in
the rst 3/4” of front
bottom of unit (in cross
member)
2.1 Cabinet Penetration
Important: Due to the unique design of this unit,
which allows the electrical wiring to be routed within
the insulation, do not screw, cut, or otherwise puncture the unit cabinet in any location other than the
ones illustrated.
Important: Under no conditions should metal strapping be attached to the unit to be used as support
mechanisms for carrying or suspension purposes.
2.2 Panel Removal
The unit contains four (4) access panels: Blower/Filter, Coil, Line Set, and Heater.
The Blower/Filter panel is removed using 1/4 turn
thumb screws.
1. Turn thumb screws on Blower/Filter panel.
2. Pull top of panel out, away from cabinet.
3. Lift panel up out of channel.
4. Set aside.
4
The Coil, Line Set, and Heater panels are removed
using Phillips head screws.
Coil and Heater panels must be removed prior to removing the Line Set panel.
To remove Coil Panel:
1. Turn screws on Coil panel.
2. Pull bottom of panel out, away from cabinet.
3. Pull panel down and out of channel.
4. Set aside.
#3 Size Phillips
To remove Heater Panel:

Section 3. Unit Preparation
3.1 Prepare The Unit For Installation
STEP 1 - Check for damage and report promptly to
the carrier any damage found to the unit.
Note: The unit is shipped “upside-down” in the
downflow orientation and may be easiest to transport to the job site in that orientation. If the unit
must be transported in a horizontal position, it must
be laid on its back (marked “REAR” on carton).
Note: After the unit is removed from the carton,
depress the Schrader valve to verify coil is pressurized.

Section 4. Optional Cabinet Disassembly
4.1 Disassemble cabinet for installation in tight areas or as needed.
Note: The unit is shipped “upside-down” in the
downflow orientation and may be easiest to transport
to the job site in that orientation. If the unit must be
transported in a horizontal position, it must be laid
on its back (marked “REAR” on carton).
Note: To reassemble cabinet, follow the steps in
reverse order. Ensure electrical connections are
secure and the plug clips are engaged.
STEP 1 - Remove all four front panels. See Section
2.2.

STEP 2 - Disconnect the two wiring connections
routed to the blower assembly.
STEP 3 - Slide Blower assembly out of unit using
built-in blower support channels and set aside.

STEP 7 - Use a 5/16 Allen wrench on the locking
mechanism on each side of the bottom half of the
cabinet to loosen the locking mechanism. The locks
loosen by turning counter-clockwise approximately
3/4 of a turn.

STEP 9 - For extremely tight spaces where the
cabinet needs to be rotated through a small opening,
remove the top panel and all cross members. Use a
manual driver to avoid stripping screw holes.
Note: Cross Members are removed by rotating them
toward the door opening and then lifting up and out
of the unit.

Section 5. Place Unit at Location
5.1 Carry Unit
STEP 1 - Carry the unit to the installation location.
STEP 2 - Reassemble by reversing the steps listed in
Section 4 if disassembly was required.
Important: Under no conditions should metal strapping be attached to the unit to be used as support
mechanisms for carrying or suspension purposes.
Approved carrying:
1. Hold by the cross members within the cabinet
or unit top plate and use as handles for lifting
and carrying the coil and blower sections.
