Figure 7: Loop Connection (Indoor Compressor Section)

 

 

NOTICE! Cabinet opening around loop piping (outdoor

 

 

compressor section) must be sealed to prevent entry of

 

 

rodents that could potentially damage unit wiring by chewing

 

 

on the insulation.

 

 

 

 

 

NOTICE! Outdoor compressor section may not be tilted

 

 

more than 5 degrees from level. Damage to the compressor

 

 

or stress on the loop piping could result if unit is tilted. A

 

 

concrete pad, anchor posts and/or soil compaction may be

 

 

required to avoid tilting as ground settles.
