WARNINGS!
ELECTRICAL SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
1. Disconnect power supply prior to ANY work.
2. The air conditioner is a specialized circuit that
requires its own power supply – this is not to be
shared with ANY other electrical appliances.
3. The air conditioner should be installed in a suitable
location and the power supply should be easily
reachable by ALL users.
4. During maintenance and installation, make sure
wiring terminals are securely fastened.
5. Ground wire MUST be firmly connected and NOT
used for other purposes.
6. Use protective accessories as necessary, (IE:
protective boards, cable-cross loop, wire clips, etc.).
7. Live wire, neutral wire, and ground wire MUST
correspond to the live wire, neutral wire, and ground
wire of the air conditioner.
8. Power cord and power connections MUST be free
of obstruction and CANNOT be compressed.
9. Should power cord or power connection become
severed, they MUST be repaired/replaced by
qualified technician.
10. If the power cord or power connection wire is not
long enough, replace with specialized cable from
manufacturer before proceeding with installation or
repair. DO NOT elongate these wires.
11. An air switch MUST be installed if there is no plug
found on the air conditioner. The air switch MUST
be all-pole parting and the contact parting distance
MUST be at 1/8” or greater.
12. All wires and pipes MUST be connected firmly prior
to supplying the unit with power.
13. Eliminate any electric leakage on the unit body.
14. Fuses MUST be replaced with fuse of the same
specification(s). DO NOT replace with copper wire
or conducting wire.
15. If the unit is being installed in a humid climate, a
circuit breaker MUST also be installed.
INSTALLATION SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
1. Select installation location according to
the requirements of this manual. (See the
requirements of installation section in this manual.).
2. Handle unit with care. If unit exceeds 44.09
pounds, use the two-person lift technique to
transport.
3. Use a sufficient fixing bolt when installing both
the indoor and outdoor unit(s). Ensure installation
support is firm.
4. Use safety belt and personal protection equipment
(PPE) while working above a height of 6’.
5. Use equipped components or appointed
components during installation.
6. Make sure to clear the unit of any/all foreign objects
prior to completion of installation.
REFRIGERANT SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
1. Avoid contact of fire and refrigerant as the
combination creates poisonous gas.
2. Use only specified refrigerant. DO NOT mix
refrigerant types. DO NOT allow air to remain in
refrigerant lines as this may lead to pipe rupture or
other hazards.
3. Check entire system for refrigerant leaks prior to
completing installation.
Improper installation may lead to fire hazard,
explosion, electric shock or injury.
