INTRODUCTION
This refrigeration equipment has been engineered to meet specific end user requirements and is
assembled using the highest quality components available. Please read and understand these
instructions thoroughly before proceeding with the installation. Important information within these
instructions will ensure a reliable installation.
To assure that the finished installation is done in accordance with equipment design criteria, local
code requirements, and to the end user’s satisfaction, only a qualified installation contractor
should be used. Failure to comply with accepted industry standards and practices can result in
equipment failure and loss of factory warranty coverage.
Installation/Maintenance instructions, wiring diagrams, and warranty documents should be
kept for future reference.
INSPECTION
RECEIVING
Shipments delivered must be carefully counted and inspected while the driver is still present and
before the delivery receipt is signed. Check the Bill of Lading for the number of pieces that made up
the shipment. Verify that the number of pallets, boxes, or crates agrees with that number. Note any
shortage on the delivery receipt.
Examine each shipping container for signs of damage or mishandling. If a container is damaged,
the contents may also be damaged. Ask that the container be opened and the contents examined
while the driver is still present. Note any damage on the delivery receipt. If damage or a shortage is
discovered after the driver has left, and was not noted on the delivery receipt, a request for an
inspection by the carrier must be completed within 15 days. Retain all the crating material and do
not relocate or install the equipment until an inspection has been completed. If damage or loss has
occurred, a written claim must be filed with the carrier within nine months from the delivery date.
Always feel free to call and ask Nor-Lake for assistance with freight claim questions.
Note: If the condensing unit arrives on its side or upside down, inspect for damage. If there
is no damage, invert to correct position and let the unit sit in its upright position 24 hours
prior to operation.
