If the unit is exposed to heavy wind:
Install unit so that air outlet fan is at a 90° angle to
the direction of the wind. If needed, build a barrier
in front of the unit to protect it from extremely
heavy winds. Ensure the wind barrier does not block
necessary airow. See Fig. 5.2 and Fig. 5.3 below.
SPECIAL CONSIDERATIONS FOR
EXTREME WEATHER
If the unit is frequently exposed to heavy rain or
snow:
Build a shelter above the unit it to protect it from
the rain or snow. Be careful not to obstruct air ow
around the unit.
If the unit is frequently exposed to salty air
(seaside):
Use the outdoor unit that is specially designed to
resist corrosion.
Step 2: Install Drain Joint
Heat pump units require a drain joint. Before bolting
the outdoor unit in place, you must install the drain
joint at the bottom of the unit.
NOTE: that there are two dierent types of drain
joints depending on the type of outdoor unit.
If the drain joint comes with a rubber seal (see Fig. 5.4-A),
do the following:
1. Fit the rubber seal on the end of the drain joint that
will connect to the outdoor unit.
2. Insert the drain joint into the hole in the base pan
of the unit.
3. Rotate the drain joint 90° until it clicks in place
facing the front of the unit.
4. Connect a drain hose extension (not included) to
the drain joint to redirect water from the unit during
heating mode.
If the drain joint doesn’t come with a rubber seal (see Fig.
5.4 - B), do the following:
1. Insert the drain joint into the hole in the base pan
of the unit. The drain joint will click in place.
2. Connect a drain hose extension (not included) to
the drain joint to redirect water from the unit during
heating mode.
CAUTION
In cold climates, make sure that the drain hose
is as vertical as possible to ensure swift water
drainage.Ifwaterdrainstooslowly,itcanfreeze
