the installation point, hoist the unit with nylon slings or ropes and protection pads
so that you may not damage the unit.
• The right hand side of the unit as viewed from the front (diffuser side) is heavier.
A person carrying the right hand side must take heed of this fact. A person
carrying the left hand side must hold with his right hand the handle provided on
the front panel of the unit and with his left hand the corner column section.
(1) If the unit is installed in the area where the snow will accumulate, following measures are required.
The bottom plate of unit and intake, outlet may be blocked by snow.
1 Install the unit on the base so that the bottom is
higher than snow cover surface.
Since drain water generated by defrost control may freeze, following measures are required.
• Do not execute drain piping work by using a drain elbow and drain grommets (accessories).
[Refer to Drain piping work.]
Determine refrigerant pipe size pursuant to the following guidelines based on
the indoor unit specifications.
Without nitrogen gas, a large quantity of foreign matters
(oxidized film) are created, causing a critical failure from
capillary tube or expansion valve clogging.
2 Install the unit under or provide the roof on site.
Be careful of the following conditions and choose an installation place.
• Where air is not trapped.
• Where the installation fittings can be firmly installed.
• Where wind does not hinder the intake and outlet pipes.
• Out of the heat range of other heat sources.
• A place where stringent regulation of electric noises is not applicable.
• Where it is safe for the drain water to be discharged.
• Where noise and hot air will not bother neighboring residents.
• Where snow will not accumulate.
• Where strong winds will not blow against the outlet pipe.
• A place where no TV set or radio receiver is placed within 1m.
(If electrical interference is caused, seek a place less likely to cause the problem)
• If a operation is conducted when the outdoor air temperature is –5 C lower, the outdoor unit should be
installed at a place where it is not influenced by natural wind.
• Where it is likely that the unit is subjected to strong winds, provide wind guards according to the
following guidelines. Strong winds can cause performance degradation, an accidental stop due to a rise of
high pressure and a broken fan.
