Installation

1. Préparation du site : The E-Lite pad should be placed on a compacted, level surface. Suitable surfaces include soil, gravel, concrete, or asphalt. Ensure the ground is stable and free of debris.
2. Placement des coussinets : Carefully position the pad in the desired location, ensuring it is level to provide a stable base for the equipment. The generous ribbing on the underside helps with self-leveling ground support.
3. Emplacement de l'équipement : Place the condensing unit or other equipment squarely on the pad. The textured top surface helps prevent the equipment from shifting.
4. Securing Equipment (Optional): For added security, equipment can be fastened to the pad. The pad is drillable, and 1/4 x 1-1/4 inch Tapcon® screws are recommended for this purpose. Drill pilot holes as needed before securing.

Entretien

The Diversitech E-Lite pad requires minimal maintenance due to its durable, weather-resistant, and UV-inhibited polypropylene construction. Periodic inspection is recommended to ensure the pad remains level and free of debris that could accumulate around the base of the equipment. If cleaning is necessary, simply wipe the surface with a damp cloth or rinse with water. Avoid using harsh chemicals that could potentially degrade the material over time, although the pad is designed for extreme durability.
