To hold the snow protection hood properly to the outdoor unit against a strong wind or an earthquake, safety
wire rope should be used for reinforced installation. Use the
fi
eld-supplied safety wire rope to prevent the
outdoor unit from overturning.
●
Install the snow protection hood so as to avoid facing directly toward seasonal or strong winds.
●
Apply touch-up coating or caulking (
fi
eld-supplied) at the screw holes of the outdoor unit in order to
prevent rusting.
●
Even though the hood is stainless, salt or iron may cause rust. Be aware of this during installation or
maintenance.
●
The snow protection hood is heavy-weight. More than two people are required for installation. Be sure
to wear protective equipment (such as gloves).
●
The screws and the snow protection hood must be protected from scratches or scrapes. If they aren’t,
it may be the cause of rusting. Handle with care when the snow protection hood is installed and
assembled.
