DANGER
Do not ground units to water pipes, telephone wires or lightning rods because incomplete grounding could cause a severe shock hazard resulting in severe injury or death, and to gas pipes because a gas leak could result in an explosion which could lead to severe injury or death. Do not install unit in an area where fl ammable materials are present due to risk of explosion resulting in serious injury or death.
Refrigerant gas is heavier than air and displaces oxygen. A massive leak could lead to oxygen depletion, espe­cially in basements, and an asphyxiation hazard could occur leading to serious injury or death. If the refrigerant gas leaks during installation, ventilate the area immediately.
Refrigerant gas may produce toxic gas if it comes in contact with fi re such as from a fan, heater, stove or cooking device. Exposure to this gas could result in severe injury or death.
After completing the installation work, check that the refrigerant gas does not leak.
Refrigerant gas may produce toxic gas if it comes in contact with fi re such as from a fan, heater, stove or cooking device. Exposure to this gas could result in severe injury or death.

CAUTION
Be careful for oil not to adhere to any portions other than a • fl are part. If oil adhere to resin parts etc., there is a possibil­ity of damaging by deterioration.
REFRIGERANT PIPING WORK6.
DANGER
Refrigerant gas may produce toxic gas if it comes in contact • with fi re such as from a fan heater, stove or cooking device. Exposure to this gas could cause severe injury or death.
CAUTION
Use a pipe cutter and fl are suitable for the type of refrig- erant. To prevent dust, moisture or other foreign matter from infi l- trating the tube, either pinch the end or cover it with tape. Do not allow anything other than the designated refrig- erant to get mixed into the refrigerant circuit, such as air, etc. If any refrigerant gas leaks while working on the unit, ventilate the room thoroughly right away.
GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS6-1
For refrigerant pipe of outdoor units, see the installation manual attached to the outdoor unit. Execute thermal insulation work completely on both sides of the gas pipe and the liquid pipe.
Otherwise, a water leakage can result sometimes. (The temperature of the gas pipe can reach up to approximately 250ºF, so use insulation pipe cover
which is suffi ciently resistant.) Also, in cases where the temperature and humidity of the refrigerant pipe sections might exceed 86ºF or RH 80%, reinforce the thermal insulation. (3/4 in. or thicker)
Condensate may form on the surface of the insulation
pipe cover.

DANGER
CAUTION TO BE TAKEN WHEN BRAZING REFRIGERANT PIPING
“Do not use fl ux when brazing refrigerant pipe. Therefore, use the phosphor copper brazing fi ller metal (BCuP) which does not require fl ux.” (Flux has an extremely negative effect on refrigerant piping sys­tems. For instance, if chlorine based fl ux is used, it will cause pipe corrosion. If the fl ux contains fl uorine, it will damage the refrigerant oil.)
Before brazing local refrigerant pipe, nitrogen gas shall be • blown through the pipe to expel air from the pipe. If you brazing is done without nitrogen gas blowing, a large amount of oxide fi lm develops inside the pipe, and could cause system malfunction. When brazing the refrigerant pipe, only begin brazing after • having carried out nitrogen substitution or while inserting nitrogen into the refrigerant pipe. Once this is done, connect the indoor unit with a fl ared or a fl anged connection. Nitrogen should be set to 2.9 psi with a pressure-reducing • valve if brazing while inserting nitrogen into the pipe.

DANGER
Use of oxygen may cause an explosion resulting in serious • injury or death. Only use nitrogen gas.
CAUTION
Be sure to insulate any fi eld piping all the way to the piping • connection inside the unit. Any exposed piping may cause condensate or a burn if touched.
PIPING INSULATION6-4
Make absolutely sure to execute thermal insulation works on • the pipe-connecting section after checking gas leakage by thoroughly studying the following fi gure and using the insula­tion pipe cover (6) and (7). (Fasten both ends with the clamps (4).) (Refer to Fig. 16) Wrap the small sealing pad (9) only around the insulation for • the joints on the gas piping side. (Refer to Fig. 16)
