MOUNTING / ANCHORING THE
OUTDOOR UNIT(S)
Remove the wood pallet from the bottom of the outdoor unit before brazing. A fire may occur if the
pallet is not removed.
Remove the wood pallet from the bottom of the outdoor unit before attaching the anchor bolts. If
the pallet is not removed, the outdoor unit may become unstable and heat exchanger may freeze,
resulting in improper operation.
Mounting / Anchoring the Outdoor Unit(s)
• Ensure that the floor / chosen location has enough strength to support the weight of the unit(s) and the base. If it does not have sufficient
strength, the unit(s) and base may fall and cause physical injury or death.
• Install the outdoor unit to protect against extremely high winds and earthquakes. Any deficiency in installation may cause unit to fall, result-
ing in physical injury or death.
CAUTION
When deciding on a location to place the outdoor unit, be sure to choose an area where run-off from defrost will not accumulate and freeze on
sidewalks or driveways, which may create unsafe conditions. Properly install and insulate any drain hoses to prevent the hose from freezing,
cracking, leaking, and causing unsafe conditions from frozen condensate.
• Ensure that the floor / chosen location has enough strength to sup-
port the weight of the unit(s) and the base, enough space for the
piping and wiring; and sufficient slope for proper drainage between
the units, the condensate drain connection, and the floor drain.
• Avoid placing the unit(s) in a low-lying area where water may
accumulate.
• Do not install the condensate drain piping within the outdoor
unit frame; use the access hole for drainage instead. Drain piping
installed within the outdoor unit frame may freeze, the condensate
may not drain properly and cause damage the outdoor unit.
• Refer to dimensional drawings in the "Product Data" section, and
follow the applicable local and state codes for clearances, mount-
ing, anchor, and vibration attenuation requirements.
All four corners, as well as the center of the outdoor unit, must be
supported properly. All four corners of the outdoor unit must be
securely fastened to a:
• Supporting base.
• Concrete pad.
• Base rails.
• Mounting platform that is anchored to the building.
• Any acceptable support structure that is designed by a structural
engineer.
