• If refrigerant gas has leaked during the installation work, ventilate
the room immediately. If the leaked refrigerant gas comes in
contact with
fi
re, noxious gas may generate.
• Use forklift to carry in the air conditioner units and use winch or
hoist at installation of them.
Refrigerant piping
• Install the refrigerant pipe securely during the installation work
before operating the air conditioner. If the compressor is operated
with the valve open and without refrigerant pipe, the compressor
sucks air and the refrigeration cycles is over pressurized, which
may cause a injury.
• Tighten the
fl
are nut with a torque wrench in the speci
fi
ed
manner. Excessive tighten of the
fl
are nut may cause a crack in
the
fl
are nut after a long period, which may result in refrigerant
leakage.
• After the installation work, con
fi
rm that refrigerant gas does not
leak. If refrigerant gas leaks into the room and
fl
ows near a
fi
re
source, such as a cooking range, noxious gas may be generated.
• When the air conditioner has been installed or relocated,
follow the instructions in the Installation Manual and purge
the air completely so that no gases other than the refrigerant
will be mixed in the refrigerating cycle. Failure to purge the air
completely may cause the air conditioner to malfunction.
• Nitrogen gas must be used for the airtight test.
• The charge hose must be connected in such a way that it is not
slack
Electrical wiring
• Only a quali
fi
ed installer (*1) or quali
fi
ed service person (*1) is
allowed to carry out the electrical work of the air conditioner.
Under no circumstances must this work be done by an
unquali
fi
ed individual since failure to carry out the work properly
may result in electric shocks and/or electrical leaks.
• To connect the electrical wires, repair the electrical parts or
undertake other electrical jobs, wear gloves to provide protection
for electricians, insulating shoes and clothing to provide
protection from electric shocks. Failure to wear this protective
gear may result in electric shocks.
• Use wiring that meets the speci
fi
cations in the Installation Manual
and the stipulations in the local regulations and laws. Use of
wiring which does not meet the speci
fi
cations may give rise to
electric shocks, electrical leakage, smoking and/or a
fi
re.
• Connect earth wire. (Grounding work) Incomplete grounding
causes an electric shock.
• Do not connect earth wires to gas pipes, water pipes, and
lightning conductor or telephone earth wires.
• After completing the repair or relocation work, check that the
earth wires are connected properly.
• Install a circuit breaker that meets the speci
fi
cations in the
installation manual and the stipulations in the local regulations
and laws.
• Install the circuit breaker where it can be easily accessed by the
agent.
• When installing the circuit breaker outdoors, install one which is
designed to be used outdoors.
• Under no circumstances the power wire must not be extended.
Connection trouble in the places where the wire is extended may
give rise to smoking and/or a
fi
re.
• Electrical wiring work shall be conducted according to law and
regulation in the community and installation manual. Failure to do
so may result in electrocution or short circuit.
Test run
• Before operating the air conditioner after having completed the
work, check that the electrical control box cover of the indoor
unit and service panel of the outdoor unit are closed, and set the
circuit breaker to the ON position. You may receive an electric
shock if the power is turned on without
fi
rst conducting these
checks.
