PREPARATION 

1. PREPARATION 

1.1 Initial Check

Required  Materials 

 

Measure,  Architectural 

Information Regarding Installation Location. 

Installation  Location 

 

Confirm  that  the  final 

Installation  location  is  provided  with  convenient 
piping and wiring work. Strong water runoff should 
be avoided. 

Installation  Space 

 

Check  for  obstacles,  which 

restrict condenser airflow or hamper maintenance 
work in the space specified in Fig. 1. 

Foundation 

 

Check  to  ensure  that  the 

foundation  is  flat,  level,  and  sufficiently  strong, 
taking  into  account  the  maximum  foundation 
gradient  (Fig.  2)  and  the  unit  weight  balance. 
Confirm elevation provision for the unit on a solid 
base  with an  iron frame or concrete curbs shown 
in  Fig.  3,  in  order  to  obtain  proper  clearance 
beneath 

the 

unit 

for 

either 

rooftop 

or 

on-the-ground 

installation. 

Additionally, 

for 

on-the-ground  installation,  provide  a  gravel  or 
concrete  space  around  the  condenser  air  intake, 
in  order  to  avoid  airflow  obstruction  due  to  grass 
or other vegetation. 

Unit 

 

Check  to  ensure  that  the  unit  has  been 

transported without damage. File a damage claim 
with  the  transportation  companies  if  mishandling 
due  to  transportation  company  negligence  is 
suspected. 

1.2 Transportation 

Secure  the  route  to  the  final  installation  location 
by confirming the packing dimensions.
