Procedures

Unit Inspection

Inspect your unit very carefully before installing. Make sure there has been no damage to the evaporator fins or there are no punctures or oil-soaked areas on the box. This would indicate damage to the refrigeration system and should be rejected immediately.

THE UNIT MUST BE TRANSPORTED IN THE UPRIGHT POSITION AT ALL TIMES AND MUST NOT BE DROPPED OR TAILGATED. DAMAGE TO THE UNIT DURING TRANSPORTATION IS NOT THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE MANUFACTURER.
