HANDLING
While this unit was constructed with quality and dependability in mind, damage still may occur during
handling of the unit for installation . Exercise extreme caution to prevent any damage from occurring to the
refrigerant system . This unit contains a system pressurized with refrigerant that if damaged, could leak into
the atmosphere or cause bodily harm due to the extreme cold nature of expanding refrigerant . Use protective
equipment such as gloves and safety glasses to minimize or prevent injury in case of a system leak during
installation .
Position the unit roof opening such that the supply discharge and exhaust inlet of the unit will line up with the
corresponding ductwork . Be sure to allow for the recommended service clearances when positioning opening
(see Service Clearances) . Do not face the outdoor air intake of the unit into prevailing wind and keep the intake
away from any other exhaust fans . Likewise, position the exhaust discharge opening away from outdoor air
intakes of any other equipment .
