Heavy snow fall area
If the product is installed in a region of heavy snow, allow enough distance between the product and the ground (or piled
up snow).
• In areas with heavy snow fall, piled snow could block the air intake. To avoid this, install a frame that is higher than
estimated snow fall. In addition, install a snow-proof hood to avoid snow from piling on the outdoor unit.
• If ice accumulates on the base, it may cause critical damage to the product. (e.g., a lakeside in a cold area, the seashore, an
alpine region, etc.)
• In a heavy snowfall area, do not install the drain plug and drain cap in the outdoor unit. And, it may cause frozen ground.
Therefore, take appropriate measures to prevent it.
• Make a space more than 150 mm between the bottom of the outdoor unit and the ground for installation.
• Make sure that the product is located at least 150 mm above the maximum expected level of snow.

Moving the outdoor unit
• Be sure that the moving route is safe by anticipating the weight of the outdoor unit in advance.
• Do not slant the product more than 30˚when carrying it. (always keeping the unit upright)
• The surface of the heat exchanger is sharp. Be careful not to be injured while moving and installing by wearing your
personal protective equipment (gloves, etc.).
Moving the outdoor unit by hoisting
• Only hoist the product with using approved lifting straps (according to local regulations). Keep long straps to avoid
damage to the panels. Always wear personal protective equipment (safety helmet) when hoisting.
