standards:
5
Meets all spatial requirements shown in Installation
Space Requirements above

5
5 Where snowfall is anticipated, raise the unit
above the base pad to prevent ice buildup and
coil damage. Mount the unit high enough to be
above the average accumulated area snowfall. The
minimum height must be 18 inches.
DO NOT install unit in the following locations:
[
Near an obstacle that will block air inlets and outlets
[
Near a public street, crowded areas, or where noise
from the unit will disturb others
[
Near animals or plants that will be harmed by hot
air discharge
[
Near any source of combustible gas
[
In a location that is exposed to large amounts of
dust [ In a location exposed to a excessive amounts
of salty
SPECIAL CONSIDERATIONS FOR
EXTREME WEATHER
If the unit is exposed to heavy wind:
Install unit so that air outlet fan is at a 90º angle to the
direction of the wind. If needed, build a barrier in front of
the unit to protect it from extremely heavy winds.
See Figures below.
If the unit is frequently exposed to heavy rain or snow:
Build a shelter above the unit to protect it from the rain or
snow. Be careful not to obstruct air flow around the unit.
If the unit is frequently exposed to salty air (seaside):
Use outdoor unit that is specially designed to resist
corrosion.
Step 2: Install drain join (Heat pump unit only)
Before bolting the outdoor unit in place, you must install
the drain joint at the bottom of the unit. Note that there are
two different types of drain joints depending on the type
of outdoor unit.
If the drain joint comes with a rubber seal (see Fig. A),
do the following:
1. Fit the rubber seal on the end of the drain joint that will
connect to the outdoor unit.
2. Insert the drain joint into the hole in the base pan of
the unit.
3. Rotate the drain joint 90º until it clicks in place facing
the front of the unit.
4. Connect a drain hose extension (not included) to
the drain joint to redirect water from the unit during
heating mode.
If the drain joint doesn't come with a rubber seal (see
Fig. B), do the following:
5. Insert the drain joint into the hole in the base pan of
the unit. The drain joint will click in place.
6. Connect a drain hose extension (not included) to
the drain joint to redirect water from the unit during
heating mode.
