Common sources of such compounds include swimming pool chemicals and chlorine bleaches, paint stripper, adhesives, paints, varnishes, sealers, waxes (which are not yet dried) and solvents used during construction and remodeling. Various commercial and industrial processes may also be sources of chlorine/fluorine compounds.

•To avoid possible illness or death of the building occupants, do NOT locate outside air intake device (economizer, manual fresh air intake, motorized fresh air intake) too close to an exhaust outlet, gas vent termination, or plumbing vent outlet. For specific distances required, consult local codes.

•Allow minimum clearances from the enclosure for fire protection, proper operation, and service access (see Unit Clearances). These clearances must be permanently maintained.

•When the unit is heating, the temperature of the return air entering the unit must be between 50°F and 100°F.

GROUND LEVEL INSTALLATIONS ONLY:

•When the unit is installed on the ground adjacent to the building, a level concrete (or equal) base is recommended. Prepare a base that is 3” larger than the package unit footprint and a minimum of 3” thick.

•The base should also be located where no runoff of water from higher ground can collect in the unit.

ROOF TOP INSTALLATIONS ONLY:

•To avoid possible property damage or personal injury, the roof must have sufficient structural strength to carry the weight of the unit(s) and snow or water loads as required by local codes. Consult a structural engineer to determine the weight capabilities of the roof.
