3.Check to be sure tools, loose parts, and debris are removed from the unit.

4.Check to be sure all panels and screws are in place and tight.

Desert and Seacoast Locations

Special consideration must be given to the installation and main- tenance of condensing units and heat pumps installed in seacoast or desert locations. Salt and the alkali content of the sand adhere to the aluminum fins of the coil and can cause premature coil failure due to corrosion.

Preventive measures can be taken during installations, such as:

1.Locating the unit on side of structure opposite the prevailing winds.

2.Elevating the unit to height where drifting sand cannot pile up against coil. Four-in.-high mounting feet or an 18-in.- high mounting rack are available as accessories and can be used to elevate the unit.

3.Addition of coastal filter (see pre-sale literature for acces- sory listing).

Special maintenance requirements are as follows:

1.Frequent inspection of coil and base pan, especially after storms and/or high winds.

2.Cleaning coil by flushing out sand from between coil fins and out of base pan as frequently as inspection determines necessary.

3.Protecting the unit in off seasonwith cover that allows air to circulate through but prevents sand from sifting in (such as canvas material). Do not use plastic as plastic will hold moisture.
