(d) Where ammable gas may leak, where there is carbon -
ber, or ignitable dust suspension in the air, or where vola-
tile ammables such as thinner or gasoline are handled.
Operating the unit in such conditions may result in a re.
NOTE: Cannot be installed suspended from ceiling or stacked.
CAUTION

•to prevent expoSure to WInd, InStall
the outdoor unIt WIth ItS SuctIon
SIde facIng the Wall.
•never InStall the outdoor unIt at a
SIte Where the SuctIon SIde may Be
expoSed dIrectly to WInd.
•to prevent expoSure to WInd, It IS
recommended to InStall a Baffle
plate on the aIr dIScharge SIde of
the outdoor unIt.
•In heavy SnoWfall areaS, Select an
InStallatIon SIte Where the SnoW
WIll not affect the unIt.
• Construct a large
canopy.
• Construct a pedestal.
Install the unit high
enough off the ground
to prevent burying in
snow.
precautIonS for InStallatIon
• Check the strength and level of the installation ground
so that the unit will not cause any operating vibration or
noise after installed.
• Fix the unit securely by means of the foundation bolts.
(Prepare 4 sets of 1/2” foundation bolts, nuts and wash-
ers; all separately available.)
• It is best to screw in the foundation bolts until their ends
are 1 inch from the foundation surface.

InStallatIon clearanceS
• Where a wall or other obstacle is in the path of the out-
door unit’s intake or exhaust airow, follow the installation
space requirements below.
• For any of the below installation patterns, the wall height
on the outlet side should be 47” or less.

unit: inch
This unit can be located at ground oor level or on at roofs.
At ground oor level, the unit must be on a solid, level foun-
dation that will not shift or settle. To reduce the possibility
of sound transmission, the foundation slab should not be in
contact with or be an integral part of the building foundation.
Care should be taken to ensure the unit is installed away
from noise sensitive locations such as bedrooms, windows
and outdoor living areas. Ensure the foundation is sufcient
to support the unit. A concrete slab raised above ground level
provides a suitable base.
rooftop InStallatIonS
If it is necessary to install this unit on a roof structure, ensure
the roof structure can support the weight and that proper
consideration is given to the weather-tight integrity of the roof.
Since the unit can vibrate during operation, sound vibration
transmission should be considered when installing the unit.
Vibration absorbing pads or springs can be installed between
the air conditioner unit legs or frame and the roof mounting
assembly to reduce noise vibration.
