EQUIPMENT DAMAGE HAZARD
Failure to follow this caution may result in equipment damage
or improper operation.
In regions with snowfall and cold temperatures, avoid
installing the outdoor unit in areas where it can be covered by
snow. If the outdoor unit is installed in areas where heavy
snow is expected, a field supplied ice or snow stand and/or
field supplied−installed wind baffle should be installed to
protect the unit from snow accumulation and/or blocked air
intake. Blocking the air intake may result in reduced airflow,
significantly reduced performance and damage to the
equipment.
NOTE: Install the outdoor unit on a rigid base to reduce noise
levels and vibration. Determine the optimal air outlet direction to
prevent discharged air from being blocked. If the installation site
is exposed to strong winds such as a coastal areas, ensure the fan’s
proper operation by installing the unit lengthwise along the wall
or use dust or shield plates. If the unit needs to be suspended, the
installation bracket should comply with the suspension
requirements in the installation bracket diagram. The installation
wall should be solid brick, concrete or the same intensity
construction, or take steps to reinforce and dampen the support.
The connection between the bracket and the wall as well as the
bracket and the air conditioner should be firm, stable and reliable.
Ensure there is no obstacle which may block the radiating air.
MAKE REFRIGERANT PIPING CONNECTIONS
(OUTDOOR UNIT)
IMPORTANT: Use refrigeration grade tubing ONLY. No other type
of tubing may be used. Use of other types of tubing will void
manufacturer’s warranty.
