the unit must be grounded.

When Transporting

Be careful when picking up and moving the indoor and out- door units. Get a partner to help, and bend your knees when lifting to reduce strain on your back. Sharp edges or thin alu- minum fins on the air conditioner can cut your fingers.

When Installing…

Select an installation location which is rigid and strong enough to support or hold the unit, and select a location for easy maintenance.

…In a Ceiling or Wall

Make sure the ceiling/wall is strong enough to hold the unit’s weight. It may be necessary to construct a strong wood or metal frame to provide added support.

…In a Room

Properly insulate any tubing run inside a room to prevent “sweating” that can cause dripping and water damage to walls and floors.

Keep the fire alarm and the air CAUTION outlet at least 1.5 m away from

the unit.

…In Moist or Uneven Locations

Use a raised concrete pad or concrete blocks to provide a solid, level foundation for the outdoor unit. This prevents water damage and abnormal vibration.

…In an Area with High Winds

Securely anchor the outdoor unit down with bolts and a metal frame. Provide a suitable air baffle.

…In a Snowy Area

Install the outdoor unit on a raised platform that is higher than drifting snow. Provide snow vents.
