Special considerations for extreme weather
If the unit is exposed to heavy wind:
Install unit so that air outlet fan is at a 90° angle to the direction of the
wind. If needed, build a barrier in front of the unit to protect it from
extremely heavy winds.

Step 2: Install drain joint

Heat pump units require a drain joint. Before bolting the outdoor unit
in place, you must install the drain joint at the bottom of the unit. Note
that there are two different types of drain joints depending on the type
of outdoor unit.
If the drain joint comes with a rubber seal (see Fig. 24 - A), do the
following:
1. Fit the rubber seal on the end of the drain joint that will connect to
the outdoor unit.
2. Insert the drain joint into the hole in the base pan of the unit.
3. Rotate the drain joint 90° until it clicks into place facing the front of
the unit.
4. Connect a drain hose extension (not included) to the drain joint to
redirect water from the unit during heating mode.
If the drain joint does not come with a rubber seal (see Fig. 24 - B),
do the following:
1. Insert the drain joint into the hole in the base pan of the unit. The
drain joint will click into place.
2. Connect a drain hose extension (not included) to the drain joint to
redirect water from the unit during heating mode.

In cold climates
In cold climates, make sure that the drain hose is as vertical as possible
to ensure swift water drainage. If water drains too slowly, it can freeze in
the hose and flood the unit.
