SAFETY WARNING
Only qualified personnel should install and service the equipment. The installation, starting up, and servicing of heating, ventilating, and air-
conditioning equipment can be hazardous and requires specific knowledge and training. Improperly installed, adjusted or altered equipment
by an unqualified person could result in death or serious injury. When working on the equipment, observe all precautions in the literature and
on the tags, stickers, and labels that are attached to the equipment.

General Information
Shipping
Each VAV product and its service literature are shipped in
the same package. When unpacking, make sure that the
literature is not lost or discarded with the packing material.
Visually inspect the individual components for obvious
defects or damage. All components are thoroughly
inspected before leaving the factory. Any claims for
damage incurred during shipment must be filed with the
carrier.
Storage
When any component of the VAV system and/or field
installed accessories must be stored for a period of time
prior to being installed, they must be protected from the
elements.The storage location temperature should be
between -40° to 150°F (-40° to 65.6°C) and the relative
humidity should be 10% to 90%, non-condensing.
The warranty will not cover damage to the VAV system or
controls due to negligence during storage. A controlled
indoor environment must be used for storage.
