Observe the restrictions on the maximum
weight that a person can lift, which is spec-
ified in local regulations.
Failure to do so may result in injury.
[3] Installation
Installation
Do not install the unit where combustible
gas may leak.
If combustible gas accumulates around the unit, fire or
explosion may result.
Do not allow children to play with the pack-
ing materials.
Suffocation or serious injury may result.
Cut up the packing materials before dispos-
al.
All installation work must be performed by
qualified personnel in accordance with this
manual.
Improper installation may result in refrigerant leakage,
water leakage, serious injury, electric shock, or fire.
Seal all openings around pipes and wires to
keep out small animals, rainwater, or snow.
Failure to do so may result in current leakage, electric
shock, or damage to the unit.
[4] Piping Work
Piping Work
Piping work shall be kept to a minimum.
The pipes shall be protected from physical
damage.
Before heating the brazed sections, remove
the gas and oil that are trapped in the pipes.
Failure to do so may generate fire, resulting in serious
injury.
If the air conditioner is installed in a small
room, take measures to prevent the refriger-
ant concentration from exceeding the safety
limit in the event of refrigerant leakage.
Consult your dealer regarding the appropriate mea-
sures to prevent the allowable concentration from be-
ing exceeded. If the refrigerant leaks and the allowable
concentration is exceeded, hazards due to a lack of ox-
ygen in the room will result.
Install the unit in accordance with the in-
structions to minimize the risk of damage
from earthquakes and strong winds.
Improper installation will cause the unit to topple, re-
sulting in serious injury.
The unit must be securely installed on a
structure that can sustain its weight.
Failure to do so will cause the unit to fall, resulting in se-
rious injury.
Do not open the control box cover when
charging refrigerant.
Doing so may cause sparks, resulting in fire.
Do not install the unit where corrosive gas
may be generated.
Doing so can corrode the pipes, resulting in refrigerant
leakage and fire.
Do not purge the air using refrigerant. Use a
vacuum pump to evacuate the system.
Residual gas in the refrigerant lines will cause bursting
of the pipes or an explosion.
Do not use oxygen, flammable gas, or a re-
frigerant containing chlorine for air-tight-
ness testing.
Doing so may result in an explosion. Chlorine will dete-
riorate the refrigerant oil.
