OUTDOOR UNIT INSTALLATION
1. Outdoor Installation Precaution
•Install the outdoor unit on a rigid base to prevent noise and vibration.
•Locate the air outlet direction where the discharged air is not blocked. Ensure there are no obstacles blocking the unit’s air flow.
•If the installation location is exposed to strong winds, place the unit length wise along a wall or use shield plates to protect against high winds.
•If suspending the unit, the installation wall should be solid brick, concrete or of similar construction. If not, reinforce the supporting wall. The connections between the bracket and wall and the bracket and the air conditioner must be firm, stable and reliable. Consult all local and national building codes.
•If suspending the unit, follow the instructions provided by the bracket manufacturer.
