6.1 Selecting a location in cold climates
Refer to "Handling" in section “4 Before installation”
When operating the unit in cold climates, be sure to 
follow the instructions described below.
■  To prevent exposure to wind, install the unit with its suction side 
    facing the wall. 
■  Never install the unit at a site where the suction side may be
    exposed directly to wind.
■  To prevent exposure to wind, install a baffle plate on the air
    discharge side of the unit.
■  In heavy snowfall areas it is very important to select an installation
    site where the snow will not affect the unit. If lateral snowfall is 
    possible, make sure that the heat exchanger coil is not affected by
    the snow (if necessary construct a lateral canopy).
1  Construct a large canopy.
2  Construct a pedestal. 
    Install the unit high enough off the ground
    to prevent it from being buried in snow.
 
NOTE
If drain holes in the unit are covered by a mounting base or 
by floor surface, raise the unit in order to provide a free space 
of more than 100 mm under the unit.
NOTE
Unit is top heavy!
Try not to install on the building frame.
NOTE
7 PRECAUTIONS ON INSTALLATION
■  Check the strength and level of the installation ground so that the 
    unit will not cause any operating vibration or noise after installation.
■  In accordance with the foundation drawing in the figure, fix the unit 
securely by means of the foundation bolts. (Prepare four sets each of 
Φ10 Expansion bolts, nuts and washers which are readily available on 
the market.)
■  It is best to screw in the foundation bolts until their length is 
20 mm from the foundation surface.

6.2 Selecting a location in hot climates
  As the outdoor temperature is measured via the outdoor unit air 
     thermistor, make sure to install the outdoor unit in the shade, or
     a canopy should be constructed to avoild direct sunlight. so that 
     it is not influenced by the sun’s heat, otherwise protection may be
     possible to the unit.
Drain hole
The drain hole is covered by 
rubber plug,if one drain hole 
is not enough, the big drain 
hole can  be opened in field.
7 If you install the unit on a building frame, please 
install a waterproof plate (field supply) (about 100 
mm, on the underside of the unit) in order to avoid 
drain water dripping. (See the picture in the right).
