  If an awning is built over the unit to prevent direct sunlight or rain, be careful that heat radiation from the 
condenser is not obstructed. 
  There should not be any animal or plant which could be affected by hot air discharged. 
  Keep the spaces indicated by arrows from wall, ceiling, fence or other obstacles. 
  Do not place any obstacles which may cause a short circuit of the discharged air. 
  If piping length is over the [piping length for additional gas], additional refrigerant should be added as shown in 
the table.

Example: For Z25**** 
If the unit is installed at 10 m distance, the quantity of additional refrigerant should be 25 g .... (10-7.5) m × 10 g/m = 
25 g.
