INSTALLATION REQUIREMENTS
• A location which is convenient to installation and not exposed to
strong winds.
• A location which can bear the weight of the outdoor unit and where
the outdoor unit can be mounted in a level position.
• A location which provides appropriate clearances (see Fig. 8).
• Allow sufficient space for airflow and service of the unit. See Fig. 8
for the required minimum distances between the unit or walls.
NOTE: DO NOT install the indoor or outdoor units in a location with
special environmental conditions.
INSTALLATION
Step 1 - Check Equipment
Unpack the unit and move to the final location. Remove the carton, taking
care not to damage the unit. Inspect the equipment for damage prior to
installation. File a claim with the shipping company if the shipment is
damaged or incomplete.
Locate the unit rating plate which contains the proper installation
information. Check the rating plate to ensure the unit matches the job
specifications.
Step 2 - Mount Unit
