GENERAL INFORMATION
Single packaged heat pumps are ready for easy
and immediate installation and can be readily
connected into the high static duct system of a
home. This unit is completely assembled, wired,
and run tested at the factory. This heat pump
is designed for outdoor installation only. The
only connections needed for installation are the
supply and return ducts, the line voltage, and
thermostat wiring. Use of components other than
those specifi ed may invalidate ARI Certifi cation,
Code Agency Listing, and limited warranty on
the air conditioner.
Before You Install this Unit
The cooling load of the area to be conditioned
must be calculated and a system of the proper
capacity selected. It is recommended that the
area to be conditioned be completely insulated
and vapor sealed.
Check the electrical supply and verify the
power supply is adequate for unit operation.
If there is any question concerning the power
supply, contact the local power company.
All units are securely packed at the time of
shipment and upon arrival should be carefully
inspected for damage prior to installing the
equipment at the job site. Verify coil fi ns are
straight. If necessary, comb fi ns to remove
fl attened or bent fi ns. Claims for damage
(apparent or concealed) should be fi led

• Overhead obstructions, poorly ventilated
areas, and areas subject to accumulation of
debris should be avoided.
• Suffi cient clearance for unobstructed airfl ow
through the outdoor coil must be maintained
in order to achieve rated performance. See
Figure 3 (page 6) for minimum clearances to
obstructions.
