Page 8 of 22 Clearance HEATPRO HEAT PUMP HP13023772 Rev: D A minimum of 2 feet (.6 m) of clearance from walls, shrubbery, equipment, etc. is required around the entire heat pump. This allows for ample air intake. A minimum of 6 feet (2 m) of clearance above the heat pump is required to prevent re-circulation of air. The unit should not be placed underneath eaves, decks, or porches, as this causes re-circulation of air. RE-CIRCULATION OF AIR BACK INTO THE PUMP WILL GREATLY REDUCE ITS EFFICIENCY Roof Run-Off NOTICE - Make sure the heat pump is not located where water may run-off from the roof into the unit. Sharp sloping roofs without gutters will allow large amounts of rainwater, mixed with debris from the roof to be forced through the unit. This will clog, damage, and corrode the unit. NOTE: A gutter or down spout may need to be installed to protect the heat pump. Drainage and Condensation THE HEAT PUMP GENERATES WATER CONDENSATION DURING NORMAL OPERATION. THIS SHOULD NOT BE MISTAKEN FOR A LEAK IN THE UNIT. A drain hole is provided in the in base pan for adequate removal of condensation and rainwater. Condensation will be produced by the evaporator coil while the unit is running and drain at a steady rate, usually 3 to 5 gallons per hour, depending upon ambient air temperature and humidity. The more humid the ambient air, the more condensation will be produced. If drainage is above this range during operation or if water continues to drain from the base when the heat pump is not in operation for more than an hour, a leak in the internal plumbing may have occurred. The troubleshooting section provides recommendations if leaks are suspected. NOTICE: Keep the drain hole clear of debris and clean it regularly to remove any obstruction.
