Slightly tighten the two hoisting slings.
E
Insert protection -E- between  where  the  slings touch the upper 
protective cardboard packaging of the the unit. The slings must 
not touch the unit.
The slings should form an angle of more than 60° -D- with the up-
per part of the unit. The unit should be kept horizontal throughout 
the lifting operation. If necessary, tie guide ropes on to prevent the 
unit from swinging freely during the lifting process.
Do not apply force to zone -F-.
  DANGER
No-one should remain in the radius of action of the crane 
during the lifting process.

7  UNIT INSTALLATION
7.1  PRELIMINARY CONDITIONS FOR POSITIONING OF OUTDOOR UNIT
Mount the outdoor unit in a shady location or where it will not be 
exposed to direct sunlight, or to high temperatures. It should also 
be a well-ventilated spot.
Mount the  outdoor  unit  so  that  noises  and the  discharge  of air 
from the unit will not bother neighbours or the surrounding envi-
ronment.
Install the outdoor unit in an area of limited access to the general 
public.
 In cold climates, ice may form on the unit. When installing the 
unit, make sure that ice falling off the unit could not pose a risk to 
passers-by.
When installing the outdoor unit in areas covered by snow, mount 
the covers supplied by the tter on the top of the unit and on the 
heat exchanger inlet side.
Do not install the outdoor unit in zones where dust or contamina-
tion could block the outside heat exchanger.
Do not install the outdoor unit in areas with a high air content of 
oil, saline atmospheres or aggressive gases such as sulphur.
Do  not  install  the  outdoor  unit  close  to  sources  of  strong  elec-
tromagnetic radiation or in areas where electromagnetic waves 
radiate  directly  towards  the  electrical  box  and  the  components 
of the unit. Install the unit as far as possible from these sources 
(minimum 3 metres); electronic noise may result in the incorrect 
operation of the unit.
  CAUTION
In areas with high electromagnetic turbulence, a fuse may blow or 
the unit stop or an alarm may be triggered. In this case, stop the 
system and restart it to remove the alarm.
Make  sure  that  the  base  of  the  foundations  is  at  and  strong 
enough to bear the weight of the unit.
Install the outdoor unit in an area with enough space around the 
unit to permit service and maintenance tasks.
  CAUTION
•  The aluminium ns  have sharp edges. Take special care to 
avoid injury.
•  The outdoor unit must be installed on rooftops or in areas not 
accessible by the user. Only service technicians and mainte-
nance personnel are permitted access to the unit.
