Wear protective gloves and safety goggles when handling equipment. Sharp edges will cause personal injury.
Dispose of the packing materials safely.
• Packing materials, such as nails and other metal or wooden parts, will cause puncture wounds or other injuries.
• Tear apart and throw away plastic packaging bags so that children will not play with them and risk suffocation and death.
• Be very careful when transporting the product. There is a risk of the product falling and causing physical injury.

• Always include padding to protect the outdoor unit from rope damage, and take into consideration the outdoor unit’s center of gravity.
General Outdoor Unit Mounting
Any underlying structure or foundation must be designed to support
the weight of the outdoor unit. Avoid placing the unit in a low
lying area where water and ice will accumulate. Securely attach the
outdoor unit to a condenser pad, base rails, or a mounting platform
that is solidly anchored to the ground or building structure. When
installing the outdoor unit on the wall or roof top, securely anchor the
mounting base to account for wind, earthquakes, or vibration.
Anchoring the Outdoor Unit
• Tightly anchor the outdoor unit with a bolt and nut to a concrete or
rigid platform (see next page for more details).
• When installing on a wall (with field-supplied brackets), roof, or
rooftop, securely anchor the mounting platform with nails, taking
into consideration the possibility of strong winds or earthquakes.
• If there is a possibility of vibration from the outdoor unit transmit-
ting to the building, add an anti-vibration material.
