CAUTION: When the unit is installed in a roof mounted HVAC system, the unit must be protected from the elements.

INSTALLATION REQUIREMENTS

1. Unit should be installed after the air handler in the HVAC system.
2. The duct work around the installation area should be clean and dry to ensure proper adhesion of the gasket materials and any tape used.
