• DO NOT install the unit near sources of heat, steam, or flammable gases.
• DO NOT install the system in areas prone to extreme winds or dust.
• DO NOT install the outdoor unit in an area that has many passersby.
• DO select a location where the air discharge and operating sound level will not disturb
others.
• DO install the system in a shaded area or utilize a cover/sun protection that will not
interfere with air flow. This will also protect the system from rain or snow.
• DO install the unit in a safe and sturdy location.
• DO install rubber vibration absorbers if the system will be subject to vibrations.

SPECIAL CONSIDERATIONS FOR EXTREME
WEATHER CONDITIONS
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.
If the unit is frequently exposed to heavy rain or
snow: Build a shelter above the unit to protect it
from the rain or snow. Be careful not to obstruct
air flow around the unit. If the unit is frequently
exposed to salty air (seaside air): Use specifically
approved anti-corrosion coating sprays onto the
heat exchanger surface in order to resist corrosion.
