SAFETY CONSIDERATIONS for Installation
carefully before installing air conditioning equipment. After
completing the installation, make sure that the unit operates
properly during the startup operation.
Instruct the customer on how to operate and maintain the
unit. Inform customers that they should store this Installation
Manual with the Operation Manual for future reference.
Always use a licensed installer or contractor to install this
product. Improper installation can result in water or refrigerant
leakage, electrical shock, fire, or explosion.

only.
DANGER
• Refrigerant gas is heavier than air and replaces oxy-
gen.
A massive leak can lead to oxygen depletion, espe-
cially in basements, and an asphyxiation hazard could
occur leading to serious injury or death.
• Do not ground units to water pipes, gas pipes, tele-
phone wires, or lightning rods as incomplete ground-
ing can cause a severe shock hazard resulting in
severe injury or death. Additionally, grounding to gas
pipes could cause a gas leak and potential explosion
causing severe injury or death.
• If refrigerant gas leaks during installation, ventilate
the area immediately. Refrigerant gas may produce
toxic gas if it comes in contact with fire. Exposure to
this gas could cause severe injury or death.
• After completing the installation work, check that the
refrigerant gas does not leak throughout the system.
• Do not install unit in an area where flammable mate -
rials are present due to risk of explosions that can
cause serious injury or death.
• Safely dispose all packing and transportation mate-
rials in accordance with federal/state/local laws or
ordinances. Packing materials such as nails and other
metal or wood parts, including plastic packing ma-
terials used for transportation may cause injuries or
death by suffocation.
WARNING
• Only qualified personnel must carry out the installa -
tion work. Installation must be done in accordance
with this installation manual. Improper installation
may result in water leakage, electric shock, or fire.
• When installing the unit in a small room, take mea-
sures to keep the refrigerant concentration from ex-
ceeding allowable safety limits. Excessive refrigerant
leaks, in the event of an accident in a closed ambient
space, can lead to oxygen deficiency.
• Use only specified accessories and parts for installa -
tion work. Failure to use specified parts may result in
water leakage, electric shocks, fire, or the unit falling.
• Install the air conditioner or heat pump on a founda-
tion strong enough that it can withstand the weight
of the unit. A foundation of insufficient strength may
result in the unit falling and causing injuries.
• Take into account strong winds, typhoons, or earth-
quakes when installing. Improper installation may
result in the unit falling and causing accidents.
• Make sure that a separate power supply circuit is pro-
vided for this unit and that all electrical work is carried
out by qualified personnel according to local, state
and national regulations. An insufficient power supply
capacity or improper electrical construction may lead
to electric shocks or fire.
• Make sure that all wiring is secured, that specified
wires are used, and that no external forces act on the
terminal connections or wires. Improper connections
or installation may result in fire.
• When wiring, position the wires so that the control box
lid can be securely fastened. Improper positioning of
the control box lid may result in electric shocks, fire,
or the terminals overheating.
• Before touching electrical parts, turn off the unit.
• This equipment can be installed with a Ground-Fault
Circuit Breaker (GFCI). Although this is a recognized
measure for additional protection, with the earthing
system in North America, a dedicated GFCI is not
necessary.
• When installing or relocating the system, keep the
refrigerant circuit free from substances other than the
specified refrigerant (R410A) such as air. Any pres -
ence of air or other foreign substance in the refriger-
ant circuit can cause an abnormal pressure rise or
rupture, resulting in injury.
• Do not change the setting of the protection devices. If
the pressure switch, thermal switch, or other protec-
tion device is shorted and operated forcibly, or parts
other than those specified by Daikin are used, fire or
explosion may occur.
