Important
Environmental Concerns!
Scientific research has shown that certain man-made
chemicals can affect the earth’s naturally occurring
stratospheric ozone layer when released to the
atmosphere. In particular, several of the identified
chemicals that may affect the ozone layer are refrigerants
that contain Chlorine, Fluorine and Carbon (CFCs) and
those containing Hydrogen, Chlorine, Fluorine and
Carbon (HCFCs). Not all refrigerants containing these
compounds have the same potential impact to the
environment.Trane advocates the responsible handlingof
all refrigerants-including industry replacements for CFCs
such as HCFCs and HFCs.
municipalities may have additional requirements that
must also be adhered to for responsible management of
refrigerants. Know the applicable laws and follow them.
WARNING
Proper Field Wiring and Grounding
Required!
All field wiring MUST be performed by qualified
personnel. Improperly installed and grounded field
wiring poses FIRE and ELECTROCUTION hazards. To
avoid these hazards, you MUST follow requirements for
field wiring installation and grounding as described in
NEC and your local/state electrical codes. Failure to
follow code could result in death or serious injury.
WARNING
Personal Protective Equipment (PPE)
Required!
Installing/servicing this unit could result in exposure to
electrical, mechanical and chemical hazards.
• Before installing/servicing this unit, technicians
MUST put on all Personal ProtectiveEquipment (PPE)
recommended for the work being undertaken.
ALWAYSreferto appropriate MSDS sheets and OSHA
guidelines for proper PPE.
• When working with or around hazardous chemicals,
ALWAYS refer to the appropriate MSDS sheets and
OSHA guidelines for information on allowable
personal exposure levels, proper respiratory
protection and handling recommendations.
• If there is a risk of arc or flash, technicians MUST put
on all Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) in
accordance with NFPA 70E or other country-specific
requirements for arc flash protection, PRIOR to
servicing the unit.
Failure to follow recommendations could result in death
or serious injury.
Responsible Refrigerant Practices!
Trane believes that responsible refrigerant practices are
important to the environment, our customers, and the air
conditioning industry. All technicians who handle
refrigerants must be certified.The Federal Clean Air Act
(Section 608) sets forth the requirements for handling,
reclaiming, recovering and recycling of certain
refrigerants and the equipment that is used in these
service procedures. In addition, some states or

Installation
Pre-Installation Considerations
Checklist
The following checklist gives an overview of the
recommended pre-installation considerations. Follow the
procedures in this section to ensure installation is
complete and adequate for proper unit operation. Verify
this checklist is complete before beginning unit
installation.
• Verifythe unit size and taggingwith the unit nameplate
to ensure the correct unit is received.
• Inspect the unit for possible shipping damage and
make any necessary claims with the freight delivery
company immediately.
• Before installing the unit, remember to allow
minimum recommended clearances for routine
maintenance and service. Refer to unit dimensions and
clearances on submittals or in the
Weights,” p. 8section.
• Verifythe unit is configured properly prior to beginning
unit installation.
• Make proper acoustic considerations before installing
unit. Do not install unit near sound-sensitive locations.
• Allow adequate space for service and operating
clearances. Reference
this page.
• Make provisions for correct supply power and note
electrical connection knockouts locations on the unit
submittals or in the
section.
• Ensure the unit installation location is level.

Receiving and Handling
Shipping Package
Integral air-cooled units ship assembled on skids. Units
ship in the unitary configuration, assembled, piped, and
charged with refrigerant.
“Dimensions and
• Report concealed damage to the freight line within the
allotted time after delivery.Verify with the carrier their
allotted time to submit a claim.
Note: Failure to follow these procedures may result in no
reimbursement for damages from the freight
company.
• Do not move damaged material from the receiving
location. It is the receiver's responsibility to provide
reasonable evidence that concealed damage did not
occur after delivery.
• Do not continue unpacking the shipment if it appears
damaged. Retain all packaging.Take photos of
damaged material if possible.
• Notify the carrier's terminal of the damage
immediately by phone and mail. Request an
immediate joint inspection of the damage by the
carrier and consignee.
• Notify yourTrane representative of the damage and
arrange for repair. Have the carrier inspect the damage
before making any repairs to the unit.
Unit Storage
Take precautions to prevent condensate from forming
inside the unit's electrical compartments and motors if the
unit is stored before it is installed.
Service Access
Maintain adequate clearances around and above the unit
to ensure proper unit operation and allow sufficient
service access.Trane recommends 36-inches service
access on all sides of the unit.
WARNING
Hazardous Voltage!
Disconnect all electric power, including remote
disconnects before servicing. Follow proper lockout/
tagout procedures to ensure the power can not be
inadvertently energized. Failure to disconnect power
before servicing could result in death or serious injury.
Receiving Checklist
Complete the following checklist immediately after
receiving unit shipment to detect possible shipping
damage.
• Verify that the unit nameplate data corresponds to the
sales order and bill of lading (including electrical data).
• Visually inspect the unit exterior for physical signs of
shipping damage or material shortages.
• If a unit appears damaged, inspect it immediately
before accepting the shipment. Remove access panels
and check for interior component damage. Make
specific notations concerning the damage on the
freight bill. Do not refuse delivery.

Acoustic Considerations
Before determining the final unit installation site,
remember that proper unit placement is critical in
reducing transmitting sound levels to the building.The
ideal time to make provisions to reduce sound
transmissions is during the design phase.The most
economical means of avoiding a potential acoustical
problem is to place units in areas that are not acoustically
sensitive.
Installation
Unit Location
Install the unit in a dry, indoor area between 50 and 115°F.
Choose a location where sound levels, airflow and
vibration, commonly associated with heavy-duty
commercial equipment, will not be objectionable to
occupants. In multiple unit installations, separate the
individual units and stagger their location from floor to
floor so as not to starve units for air and not to discharge
warm condenser air from one condenser into theintake of
another condenser. Place thermostats, air supplies and
returns so that the individual unit will operate within its
zone.
Installation Preparation
Before installing the unit, perform the following
procedures to ensure proper unit operation.
1. Verify the installation location is level.To ensure
proper unit operation, install the unit level (zero
tolerance) in both horizontal axes. Failure to level the
unit properly can result in condensate management
problems, such as standing water inside the unit.
Standing water and wet surfacesinside units can result
in microbial growth (mold) in the drain pan that may
cause unpleasant odors and serious health-related
indoor air quality problem.
2. Allow adequate service and code clearances as
recommended in the
3. Position the unit in its final location.
Unit Placement
Install the unit on a firm, level surface.
Installing Optional Accessories
Before installing ductwork, install accessories on unit.
