OUTDOOR UNIT INSTALLATION

1. Outdoor Installation Precaution

• Install the outdoor unit on a rigid base to prevent noise and vibration.
• Locate the air outlet direction where the discharged air is not blocked. 

Ensure there are no obstacles blocking the unit’s air flow.

• If the installation location is exposed to strong winds, place the unit length 

wise along a wall or use shield plates to protect against high winds.

• If suspending the unit, the installation wall should be solid brick, concrete or of similar construction. If 

not, reinforce the supporting wall. The connections between the bracket and wall and the bracket and 

the air conditioner must be firm, stable and reliable. Consult all local and national building codes.

• If suspending the unit, follow the instructions provided by the bracket manufacturer.

2. Drain Elbow Installation

Fit the seal into the drain elbow, 

then insert the drain elbow into the 

outdoor unit’s base pan hole, rotate 

90° to securely assemble them. To 

discharge excessive condensate 

from the outdoor unit when in heating 

mode, connect the drain elbow to a 

drain hose (locally purchased).
