Introduction
Read this manual thoroughly before operating or servicing this unit.
Warnings, Cautions, and Notices
Safety advisories appear throughout this manual as required. Your personal
safety and the proper operation of this machine depend upon the strict
observance of these precautions.
The three types of advisories are defined as follows:

Important Environmental Concerns
Scientific research has shown that certain man-made chemicals can affect the
earth’s naturally occurring stratospheric ozone layer when released to the
atmosphere. In particular, several of the identified chemicals that may affect
the ozone layer are refrigerants that contain Chlorine, Fluorine and Carbon
(CFCs) and those containing Hydrogen, Chlorine, Fluorine and Carbon (HCFCs).
Not all refrigerants containing these compounds have the same potential impact
to the environment. Trane advocates the responsible handling of all
refrigerants.
Important Responsible Refrigerant Practices
Trane believes that responsible refrigerant practices are important to the
environment, our customers, and the air conditioning industry. All technicians
who handle refrigerants must be certified according to local rules. For the
USA, the Federal Clean Air Act (Section 608) sets forth the requirements for
handling, reclaiming, recovering and recycling of certain refrigerants and the
equipment that is used in these service procedures. In addition, some states
or municipalities may have additional requirements that must also be adhered
to for responsible management of refrigerants. Know the applicable laws and
follow them.
WARNING
Proper Field Wiring and Grounding Required!
Failure to follow code could result in death or serious injury. All field
wiring MUST be performed by qualified personnel. Improperly installed and
grounded field wiring poses FIRE and ELECTROCUTION hazards. To avoid these
hazards, you MUST follow requirements for field wiring installation and
grounding as described in NEC and your local/state/national electrical codes.
WARNING
Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) Required!
Failure to wear proper PPE for the job being undertaken could result in death
or serious injury. Technicians, in order to protect themselves from potential
electrical, mechanical, and chemical hazards, MUST follow precautions in this
manual and on the tags, stickers, and labels, as well as the instructions
below:
- Before installing/servicing this unit, technicians MUST put on all PPE required for the work being undertaken (Examples; cut resistant gloves/sleeves, butyl gloves, safety glasses, hard hat/bump cap, fall protection, electrical PPE and arc flash clothing). ALWAYS refer to appropriate Safety Data Sheets (SDS) and OSHA guidelines for proper PPE.
- When working with or around hazardous chemicals, ALWAYS refer to the appropriate SDS and OSHA/GHS (Global Harmonized System of Classification and Labeling of Chemicals) guidelines for information on allowable personal exposure levels, proper respiratory protection and handling instructions.
- If there is a risk of energized electrical contact, arc, or flash, technicians MUST put on all PPE in accordance with OSHA, NFPA 70E, or other country-specific requirements for arc flash protection, PRIOR to servicing the unit. NEVER PERFORM ANY SWITCHING, DISCONNECTING, OR VOLTAGE TESTING WITHOUT PROPER ELECTRICAL PPE AND ARC FLASH CLOTHING. ENSURE ELECTRICAL METERS AND EQUIPMENT ARE PROPERLY RATED FOR INTENDED VOLTAGE.
WARNING
Follow EHS Policies!
Failure to follow instructions below could result in death or serious injury.
- All Trane personnel must follow the company’s Environmental, Health and Safety (EHS) policies when performing work such as hot work, electrical, fall protection, lockout/tagout, refrigerant handling, etc. Where local regulations are more stringent than these policies, those regulations supersede these policies.
- Non-Trane personnel should always follow local regulations.

General Information
This manual describes the layout and installation procedures required to properly assemble and install the roof curb. Each curb package ships unassembled, along with the required hardware and gasketing material. Roof insulation, cant strips, flashing (if desired), nails, and sheet metal screws must be furnished by the installing contractor.
Important:
DO NOT discard EPS foam panels included in this kit. They are used for
insulating the condenser section of the roof curb. Follow instructions for
installation.
Inspection
- Unpack all components of the kit.
- Check carefully for shipping damage. If any damage is found, report it immediately, and file a claim against the transportation company.
- Visually inspect the components for shipping damage as soon as possible after delivery, before it is stored. Concealed damage must be reported within 15 days.
- If concealed damage is discovered, stop unpacking the shipment.
- Do not remove damaged material from the receiving location. Take photos of the damage, if possible. The owner must provide reasonable evidence that the damage did not occur after delivery.
- Notify the carrier’s terminal of damage immediately by phone and by mail. Request an immediate joint inspection of the damage by the carrier and the consignee.
Note:
Do not attempt to repair any damaged parts until the parts are inspected by
the carrier’s representative.
Clearances
The recommended clearances for single-unit installations (minimum
requirements) are not only an important consideration when determining unit
placement, but they are also essential to ensure adequate serviceability,
maximum capacity, and peak operation efficiency. Any reduction of the unit
clearances indicated in these illustrations may result in condenser coil
starvation, or the recirculation of warm condenser air. Actual clearances
which appear to be inadequate should be reviewed with a local sales engineer.
Installation
Read the entire manual carefully to become familiar with the roof curb installation procedures. If the roof curb will be mounted on a new building, it can be assembled at any convenient location and installed as soon as the roof support members are in place. As a general rule, the curb should be placed directly on the roof support members. Use tack welding or other suitable fastening method to secure the roof curb in place. The curb can also be mounted on a roof deck. In this case, additional nailing plates must be provided directly below the flanges of the curb to give further support and to minimize vibration. When the installation is on an existing building, hoist the shipping container directly onto the roof.
Supply and Return Air Ductwork
- All ductwork must be run and attached to the curb before the unit is set into place.
- All ductwork must be fabricated and installed by the installing contractor. To ensure proper duct construction and installation, SMACNA recommendations should be closely followed.
Note:
All field fabricated panels used must be insulated.
Roof Opening
For safety and sound considerations, do not cut out the entire roof deck
within the curb area.
Roof Support
WARNING
Heavy Objects!
- Failure to follow instructions below could result in unit dropping which could result in death or serious injury, and equipment or property-only damage.
- Ensure that all the lifting equipment used is properly rated for the weight of the unit being lifted. Each of the cables (chains or slings), hooks, and shackles used to lift the unit must be capable of supporting the entire weight of the unit. Lifting cables (chains or slings) may not be of the same length. Adjust as necessary for even unit lift.
Important:
Refer to weight tables for specific weights within this piece.
- Units may be set either lateral or parallel to the roof support members. The combined weight of the unit, accessories, and curb should be evenly spaced between a minimum of two supports.
- Verify the curb position on the roof supports does not interfere with the clearance required for the supply/return ductwork. See figure Figure 2, p. 7.
Note:
It is recommended that the starting collars for the supply and return duct
work be installed before the curb is placed into position.
