Jobsite Storage
Indoor air handlers and field-installed accessories must be
protected from the elements. A controlled indoor
environment is recommended for proper storage.
Note: All factory shipping protection should be removed,
This wrapping is for transit protection only.
The unit controller and all other electrical/electronic
components should be stored in conditions of -20°F to
120°F and 5 to 95 percent relative humidity, non-
condensing. Electrical components are not moisture-
tolerant.
Gas heat sections for outdoor units require no special
protection for storage prior to installation.
Outdoor Storage
Outdoor storage is not recommended for units that will be
installed indoors. However, when outdoor storage is
necessary, several things must be done to prevent
damage:
Note: Keep the equipment on the original wooden blocks/
skid for protection and ease of handling.
• Select a well-drained area, preferably a concrete pad or
blacktop surface.
• Place the unit on a dry surface or raised off the ground
to assure adequate air circulation beneath the unit and
to assure no portion of the unit will contact standing
water at any time.
• Cover the unit securely with a canvas tarp.
• Do not stack units.
• Do not pile other material on the unit.
Trane warranty does not cover equipment damage due to
negligence during storage.
NOTICE
Corrosion!
Plastic tarps can cause condensation to form in and on
the equipment, which could result in corrosion damage
or wet storage stains. Use only canvas tarps to cover air
handlers and components.
