Delivery and handling
Installation
Lift from the street to the set-up lo-
cation
The L Split heat pump must be transported and
stored vertically.
Do not place the L Split heat pump directly on the
lawn or other unstable surface.
If there is a risk of snow slip from the roof, a protec-
tive roof or cover must be erected to protect the heat
pump, pipes and wiring.
If the base allows, the simplest thing is to use a pal-
let truck to move the L Split heat pump to the set-up
location.
If the L Split heat pump needs to be transported across
soft ground, such as a lawn, we recommend that a
crane truck is used which can lift the unit to the set-
up location. When the L Split heat pump is lifted with a
crane, the packaging must be undamaged and the load
evenly distributed on the boom, see the drawing above.
If a crane cannot be used, the L Split heat pump can
be transported using an extended hand truck. The L
Split heat pump must be secured on the side marked
“heavy side” and two people are required to set the
L Split in position.
• Place the L Split heat pump outdoors on a solid
level base that can take the weight, preferably a
concrete foundation. If concrete slabs are used
they must rest on asphalt or shingle.
• The concrete foundation or slabs must be posi-
tioned so that the lower edge of the evaporator
is at the level of the average local snow depth;
however, no lower than 300 mm. Supports and
fastenings on the page are available in the L Split
manual in the “Accessories” section.
• The L Split heat pump should not be positioned
next to the walls of rooms where noise could be
a problem, for example, next to a bedroom.
• Also ensure that the placement does not disturb
the neighbours.
• The L Split heat pump must not be placed such
that recirculation of the outdoor air can occur.
This causes lower power and impaired efficiency.
• The evaporator should be sheltered from direct
wind, which negatively affects the defrosting func-
tion. The L Split heat pump must be placed such
that the evaporator is protected from the wind.
• Large amounts of condensate, as well as melt
water from defrosting, may be produced. Conden-
sate must be drained off to a drain (see subsection
“Condensation water drain”).
• Care must be exercised so that the heat pump is
not scratched during installation.
CAUTION
Ensure that the heat pump cannot fall over during trans-
port.
CAUTION
The centre of gravity is offset to one side (see inscription
on packaging).
