6. Piping and Wrapping
A. For the left-hand and right-hand piping, remove the rear
plate bushing from the left side of the rear plate.
B. Wind the line set, drain hose and wiring with tape se-
curely and evenly. Consult local and national electrical
codes for proper routing and placement of electrical
wiring.
C. When installing the indoor unit lower than the outdoor
unit, make a “u-bend” trap to prevent rain water from
running along the connecting pipe to the inside of the
building/room where the indoor unit is located.

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 ow.
• 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 rm, stable and reliable. Consult all local and national building codes.
• If suspending the unit, follow the instructions provided by the bracket manufacturer.
2. Drain Elbow Installation
Fit the seal into the drain elbow,
then insert the drain elbow into the
outdoor unit’s base pan hole, rotate
90° to securely assemble them. To
discharge excessive condensate
from the outdoor unit when in heating
mode, connect the drain elbow to a

Use a dedicated circuit. Use HACR break sized per
unit’s rating plate. Size wires according to minimum
circuit ampacity shown on the unit’s rating plate.
• Be sure to comply with local and national electrical codes while running the wire from the indoor
unit to the outdoor unit.
• Install disconnects fro the outdoor and indoor
units as required by national and local electrical
codes.
• Every wire must be connected rmly. Loose wiring may cause the terminal to overheat or result
in unit malfunction. A re hazard may also exsist.
NOTE: To prevent wire from loosening, secure
wires and/or cords under cord clamp.
