Before starting the installation, select and check the suitability
of the location for both the indoor and outdoor unit. Observe
all limitations and clearance requirements.
The outdoor unit must have sufficient clearance for air
entrance to the condenser coil, for air discharge and for ser-
vice access. See Figure 1.
If the unit is to be installed on a hot sun exposed roof or a
black-topped ground area, the unit should be raised suffi-
ciently above the roof or ground to avoid taking the accumu-
lated layer of hot air into the outdoor unit.
Provide an adequate structural support.
The unit may be installed at ground level on a solid base that
will not shift or settle, causing strain on the refrigerant lines
and possible leaks. Maintain the clearances shown in Figure
1 and install the unit in a level position. Isolate the base from
the structure to avoid noise or vibration transmission.
Isolate the unit from rain gutters to avoid any possible wash
Normal operating sound levels may be objectionable if the
unit is placed directly under windows of certain rooms (bed-
When installing units on a roof, the structure must be capable
of supporting the total weight of the unit, including a pad, lin-
tels, rails, etc., which should be used to minimize the trans-
mission of sound or vibration into the conditioned space.
Provide a base in the pre-determined location.
Remove the shipping carton and inspect for possible
Compressor tie-down bolts should remain tightened.
Position the unit on the base provided.
Sit unit on the (4) rubber elevating grommets if provided.
Use grommet kit 1SG0601 if not provided. These should
be positioned as shown in Figure 2 to reduce noise and
allow for proper drainage.
Make a hole(s) in the structure wall large enough to
accommodate the insulated vapor line, the liquid line and
