Carrier WEATHERMAKER 8000 58ZAV - Manual (Page 4)

Improper installation, adjustment, alteration, service, mainte-
nance, or use can cause carbon monoxide poisoning, explo-
sion, fire, electrical shock, or other conditions which may
cause personal injury, loss of life, or property damage.
Consult a qualified installer, service agency, local gas sup-
plier, or your distributor or branch for information or assis-
tance. The qualified installer or agency must use only
factory-authorized and listed kits or accessories when modi-
fying this product. Failure to follow this warning could result
in electrical shock, fire, personal injury, or death.
For accessory installation details, refer to the applicable installa-
tion literature.
NOTE: Remove all shipping brackets and materials before oper-
ating the furnace.
Step 1—Location
GENERAL
Do not install furnace in a corrosive or contaminated atmo-
sphere. Make sure all combustion and circulating air require-
ments are followed, in addition to all local codes and
ordinances.
Do not use this furnace during construction when adhesives,
sealers, and/or new carpets are being installed. If the furnace
is required during construction, use clean outside air for
combustion and ventilation. Compounds of chlorine and
fluorine when burned with combustion air form acids which
cause corrosion of the heat exchangers and metal vent system.
Some of these compounds are found in paneling and dry wall
adhesives, paints, thinners, masonry cleaning materials, and
many other solvents commonly used in the construction
process.
Excessive exposure to contaminated combustion air will
result in safety and performance related problems.
DO NOT install the furnace on its back; safety control
operation will be adversely affected. Failure to follow this
warning could result in fire, personal injury, or death.
This furnace must be installed so the electrical components are
protected from water.
Locate the furnace as close to the chimney/vent and as near the
center of the air distribution system as possible. The furnace
should be installed as level as possible.
Provide ample space for servicing and cleaning. Always comply
with the minimum fire protection clearances shown on the unit
rating plate. This furnace shall not be installed directly on
carpeting, tile, or any combustible material other than wood
flooring. The furnace may be installed on combustible flooring
when installed with the accessory downflow subbase, which is
available from your distributor or branch when required.
LOCATION RELATIVE TO COOLING EQUIPMENT — The
cooling coil must be installed parallel with or on the downstream
side of the furnace to avoid condensation in the heat exchangers.
When installed parallel with a furnace, dampers or other means
used to control the flow of air must prevent chilled air from
entering the unit. If the dampers are manually operated, they must
be equipped with means to prevent operation of either unit unless
the damper is in the full-heat or full-cool position.

Step 2—Air For Combustion and Ventilation
Provisions for adequate combustion and ventilation air must be
provided in accordance with Section 5.3 of the NFGC, Air for
Combustion and Ventilation, or applicable provisions of the local
building codes.
Canadian installations must be installed in accordance with NSC-
NGPIC and all authorities having jurisdiction.
Air for combustion must not be contaminated by halogen
compounds, which include fluoride, chloride, bromide, and
iodide. These elements are found in aerosol sprays, deter-
gents, bleaches, cleaning solvents, salts, air fresheners, and
other household products.
A93042
When furnace is installed in a residential garage, it must be
installed so that burners and ignition sources are located a
minimum of 18 in. above floor. The furnace must be located
or protected to avoid physical damage by vehicles. When
furnace is installed in a public garage, airplane hangar, or
other building having a hazardous atmosphere, unit must be
installed in accordance with requirements of National Fire
Protection Association, Inc.
