1) Procede to assemble the jack components. Fit the
jack in the threaded housing on the upper plate of
the antivibration mount.
4 INSTALLATION
4.1 Positioning of the unit
Before installing the unit, make sure that the
structure of the building and/or the support-
ing surface can withstand the weight of the
appliance. The weights of the units are listed
in Chapter 8 of this manual.
These units have been designed for outdoor installa-
tion on a solid surface. Standard accessories include
antivibrating rubber supports, that must be positioned
under the base.
When the unit is to be installed on the ground, it is
necessary to provide a concrete base, to ensure a uni-
form distribution of the weights.
As a general rule, no special sub-bases are required.
However, if the unit is to be installed on the top of in-
habited rooms, it is advisable to rest it on spring shock
absorbers (optional), that will minimise the transmis-
sion of any vibration to the structures.
To choose the place of installation of the unit, bear in
mind that:
n
the longitudinal axis of the unit must be parallel to
the direction of prevailing winds, so as to ensure a
uniform distribution of the air on finned exchangers
n
the unit must not be installed near boilers’ vent pipes
n
the unit must not be installed leeward with respect to
sources of air contaminated by greases, such as, for
example, the outlets to kitchen exhaust hoods into
the atmosphere. Otherwise, the grease is likely to
deposit on the fins of the refrigerant /air exchang-
ers, and would fix every type of atmospheric impu-
rity, resulting in the quick clogging of the exchang-
ers
n
the unit must not be installed in areas subject to con-
siderable snow falling
n
the unit must not be installed in areas subject to
flooding, under gutters etc.
n
the unit must not be installed in air shafts, narrow
courts or other small places, where the noise may
be reflected by the walls or the air ejected by fans
may short-circuit itself on refrigerant/air heat ex-
changers or condenser
n
the place of installation must be have all the neces-
sary spaces for air circulation and maintenance
operations (see Chapter 8).
4.2 Spring Isolator Installation
n
Prepare the base, that must be flat and plane.
n
Lift the appliance and insert shock absorbers as fol-
