Installation Manual
EN-13
EN-14
• As shown in the figure below, install vibration-proof rubber pads to directly support the bottom surface of the fixing leg.
* When installing the foundation for an outdoor unit with downward piping, consider the piping work.
Set the out margin of the anchor bolt to 0.6" (15 mm) or less .
• When the unit is to be installed in a location where it is likely to be exposed to strong winds or where the foundation
is unstable, additional measures must be taken to prevent tip-over as shown in the figure below.
CAUTION
• Carry out the installation work by following the prescribed procedure to help prevent the unit from shaking in the
event of strong winds, earthquakes, etc.
• Failure to carry out the installation work as prescribed may lead to the unit tipping over, in turn causing an accident.
For reference
If a heating operation is to be continuously performed for a long time under the condition that the outdoor temperature
is 32 °F (0 °C) or lower, draining defrosted water may be difficult due to the bottom plate freezing, resulting in trouble
with the cabinet or fan.
Attach a snow stand, snow hood, etc. to the outdoor unit for use in snowfall areas.
It is recommended to procure an anti-freeze heater locally to safely install the air conditioner.
For details, contact the dealer.

Refrigerant Piping
Leading out the pipes
• The indoor/outdoor unit connecting pipes can be connected in any of 3 directions. Use a screwdriver to punch out
the knockout part of the piping/wiring panel or base. Wear heavy work gloves to protect yourself from injury while
doing this work. After punching out the knockout hole in a manner which ensures that the pipes and wires will not be
damaged in any way, remove the burrs from around the hole. Use the protective edge guard around the opening.
Optional installation parts (field supplied)
REQUIREMENT
