SHIPPING INSPECTION

Always keep the unit upright; laying the unit on its side or top
may cause equipment damage. Shipping damage, and
subsequent investigation, is the responsibility of the carrier. Verify
the model number, specifications, electrical characteristics and
accessories are correct prior to installation. The distributor or
manufacturer will not accept claims from dealers for
transportation damage or installation of incorrectly shipped units.

national codes. Installation in accordance with such codes and/
or prevailing local codes/regulations is the responsibility of the
installer. The manufacturer assumes no responsibility for
equipment installed in violation of any codes or regulations.
The United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has
issued various regulations regarding the introduction and
disposal of refrigerants. Failure to follow these regulations may
harm the environment and can lead to the imposition of
substantial fines. Should you have any questions, please contact
the local office of the EPA.

PREINSTALLATION
INSTRUCTIONS
Carefully read all instructions for the installation prior to installing
the product. Make sure each step or procedure is understood
and any special considerations are taken into account before
starting the installation. Assemble all tools, hardware and
supplies needed to complete the installation. Some items may
need to be purchased locally. Make sure everything needed to
install the product is on hand before starting.

LOCATION

NOTE: Air handlers are designed for indoor installation only.
Give special consideration to minimizing the length of refrigerant
tubing when installing air handlers. Refer to Remote Cooling/Heat
Pump Service Manual or TP-107 Long Line Set Application
R-410A for guidelines. The unit clearance from a combustible
surface may be 0". However, service clearance is to take
precedence. In addition, allow a minimum of 24" (61 cm) in front
of the unit for service clearance.
Do not install the air handler in a location that violates the
instructions provided with the condenser.
If the unit is located in an area with high ambient temperature
and/or high humidity, the air handler may be subject to nuisance
sweating of the casing. On these installations, a wrap of 2"
(5.1 cm) fiberglass insulation with a vapor barrier is
recommended.
Consult all appropriate regulatory codes prior to determining the
final clearances. When installing this unit in an area that may
become wet, elevate the unit with a sturdy, non-porous material.
In installations that may lead to physical damage (for example, a
garage) it is advised to install a protective barrier to prevent such
damage.

DUCTWORK

This air handler is designed for a complete supply and return
ductwork system.
CAUTION
Do not operate this product without all the ductwork
attached. Goodman 39
To ensure correct system performance, the ductwork is to be
sized to accommodate 375 to 425 CFM per ton of cooling with
the static pressure not to exceed 0.5" W.C. Inadequate ductwork
that restricts airflow can result in improper performance and
compressor or heater failure. Ductwork is to be constructed in a
manner that limits restrictions and maintains suitable air velocity.
Ductwork is to be sealed to the unit in a manner that will prevent
leakage.
