Step 6 – Check Fan Shaft and Wheel Alignment
HORIZONTAL WHEEL CENTERING - All wheels must be 
horizontally centered between the inside edges of their fan 
scroll ventures (Figure. 3). 
Adjust as follows: 
a. Loosen set screws holding wheel to shaft. 
b. Center the wheel by sliding it horizontally.  
c. Re-tighten set screws. 
 
CONCENTRIC ALIGNMENT - Shaft and wheels must be 
concentrically centered with the venturi (Figure. 4). Shaft 
bearings are supported by bearing supports. If shaft and 
wheels are concentrically misaligned from shipping shock, 
it is possible to re-bend bearing support arms to original 
positions. Replace the bearing support if it has been 
extensively damaged during shipping.  
 
Step 7 - Install Ventilation-Air Ductwork (If required)- 
Connect ventilation ducts to flanges on outside-air supply 
opening (Figure. 2) using a flexible connection. Attach 
ductwork to ship structure, insulate and cover with vapor 
barrier to reduce sound transmission and prevent vapor 
condensation. 
 
Weatherproof external ductwork, joints, and openings 
in accordance with applicable codes. Ducts passing 
through an unconditioned space must be insulated and 
covered with a vapor barrier. 
 
Step 8 - Check Return-Air Filters - Ensure filters shipped 
with unit are in place. Never operate unit without return air 
filters in place. 
 
Step 9 - Check Compressor Spring Mounts (*08 & *12 
size only)
 - The compressors are held rigid in shipment by 
bolts extending through a washer, grommet and 
compressor foot into a weld nut. 
 
Loosen each bolt (4 per compressor) until compressor 
floats freely on springs. Then re-tighten bolts until there is 
slight pressure on the neoprene gasket. This will steady 
the compressor and prevent start and stop rocking. 
 
The compressors have reversible oil pumps that 
operate in either direction; therefore, the direction of 
rotation need not be checked. 
 
Step 10 - Make Condenser Connections 
 
UNIT MOUNTED 90MA UNITS-
  Piping arrangements for 
condenser cooling water are shown in Figure. 5. 
Condensers have water inlet and outlet connections as 
shown in Figure 6.  
 
Connect condenser water supply and return lines as 
indicated. When connecting water lines, hold the 
condenser inlet and outlet stubs firmly with a wrench at the 
female pipe thread hex fitting to prevent twisting. Do not 
use water lines smaller than connection sizes shown in 
Figure 6. Observe all applicable plumbing and sanitary 
codes.

Install water-regulating valve in water supply line 
outside cabinet as follows.
