2.2. Choosing the outdoor unit installation location
• Avoid locations exposed to direct sunlight or other sources of heat.
• Select a location from which noise emitted by the unit will not inconvenience
neighbors.
in (mm)
• Select a location permitting easy wiring and pipe access to the power source and
indoor unit.
• Avoid locations where combustible gases may leak, be produced, flow, or accumulate.
• Note that water may drain from the unit during operation.
• Select a level location that can bear the weight and vibration of the unit.
• Avoid locations where the unit can be covered by snow. In areas where heavy
snow fall is anticipated, special precautions such as raising the installation location
or installing a hood on the air intake must be taken to prevent the snow from
blocking the air intake or blowing directly against it. This can reduce the airflow and
a malfunction may result.
• Avoid locations exposed to oil, steam, or sulfuric gas.
• Transport the unit using rope or a cart, etc. Transporting the unit by holding the
service panel handles may result in injury. If the unit is carried from the bottom,
hands or fingers may be pinched.

2.4. Transporting the unit
• Transport the unit using rope or a cart, etc. Transporting the unit by holding the
service panel handles may result in injury.
2.4.1. Hanging the unit (Fig. 2-2)
• Do not subject the unit to shocks or impacts.
• When delivering the unit by suspending it, use two straps that are each 17 ft (5 m)
or more in length.
• Place protection pads (boards, etc.) on parts that come into direct contact with the
straps, such as the corners of the unit, etc., to prevent scratches.
• When delivering the unit, be sure to suspend it from specified positions on
the unit.
Additionally, be sure to secure it so that it does not shift from side to side,
and support it at four points.
• If the unit is carried or suspended with support at only three points, the unit
will be unstable and may tip over or fall, resulting in injury.
