Unit Inspection
When the unit is delivered, verify that it is the correct
unit and that it is properly equipped. Inspect all exterior
components for visible damage. Report any apparent
damage or material shortage to the carrier and make a
“unit damage” notation on the carrier’s delivery receipt.
Specify the extent and type of damage found and notify
the appropriate Trane Sales Office.
Do not proceed with installation of a damaged unit with-
out sales office approval.
Inspection Checklist
To protect against loss due to damage incurred in transit,
complete the following checklist upon receipt of the unit.

DDWARNING
Safety Hoist Ring Modification!
The modification shown in Figure 31 must be complete
prior to using the hoist ring to lift the waterbox. Failure
to make these modification could result in death or
serious injuries.
The length of the standard hoist ring bolt must be
shortened (modified) prior to use for lifting waterboxes.
Shorting of the bolt as instructed will help insure the
base of the hoist right is flat against the waterbox when
properly seated. If bases of hoist is not properly seated
against waterbox side loading on the bolt may occur
which could lead to bolt failure.
