Wear protective gloves when handling equipment. Sharp edges may cause personal injury.
Dispose the packing materials safely.
• Packing materials, such as nails and other metal or wooden parts, may cause puncture wounds or other injuries.

mounting platform with nails, taking into consideration the possibility of strong winds or earth-
quakes.
• If there is a possibility of vibration from the outdoor unit transmitting to the building, add an
anti-vibration material to the platform.
