b) Installation of outdoor unit
Choice of installation site
Before installing the unit, agree with the customer the site where it will be installed, taking the following
points into consideration:
- check that the fixing points are adequate to support the weight of the unit.
- pay scrupulous respect to safety distances between the unit and other equipment or structures to ensure
that air entering the unit and discharged by the fans is free to circulate.
Positioning
Before handling the unit, check the capacity of the lifting equipment used, respecting the instructions on the
packaging.
To move the unit in the horizontal, make appropriate use of a lift truck or similar, bearing in mind the weight
distribution of the unit. To lift the unit, insert tubes long enough to allow positioning of the lifting slings and
safety pins in the feet on the unit.
To avoid the slings damaging the unit, place protection between the slings and the unit. Position the unit in
the site indicated by the customer. Place either a layer of rubber (min. thickness 10 mm) or vibration damper
feet (optional) between the base and support surface. Fix the unit, making sure it is level and that there is
easy access to hydraulic and electrical components. If the site of installation is exposed to strong winds, fix
the unit adequately to the support surface using tie rods if necessary. If a heat pump unit is being installed,
make sure the condensate is drained using the drain hose supplied as standard. Prevent leaves, branches
or snow from accumulating around the unit. These could reduce the efficiency of the unit.
