WARNING
To prevent personal injury, as well as damage to panels,
unit or structure, observe the following:
While installing or servicing this unit, carefully stow all
removed panels so that the panels will not cause injury
to personnel, objects or nearby structures. Also, take
care to store panels where they will not be subject to
damage (e.g., being bent or scratched).
While handling or stowing the panels, consider any
weather conditions (especially wind) that may cause
panels to be blown around and damaged.
IMPORTANT
Exhaust vents from dryers, water heaters and furnaces
should be directed away from the outdoor unit.
Prolonged exposure to exhaust gases and the chemicals
contained within them may cause condensation to form
on the steel cabinet and other metal components of the
outdoor unit. This will diminish unit performance and
longevity.
When outdoor unit is connected to factory-approved indoor
unit, outdoor unit contains system refrigerant charge for
operation with matching indoor unit when connected by 15
refrigerant charge using charging information located on
control box cover.

Figure 8. Slab Mounting
Install on a Solid, Level Mounting Pad
The outdoor section is to be installed on a solid foundation.
This foundation should extend a minimum of 2" (inches)
beyond the sides of the outdoor section. To reduce the
possibility of noise transmission, the foundation slab
should NOT be in contact with or be an integral part of the
building foundation. See Figure 8.
If conditions or local codes require the unit be attached to
pad or mounting frame, tie down bolts should be used and
secured to unit base pan.
Elevate Unit
Accumulation of water and ice in base pan may cause
equipment damage.
Elevate unit per local climate and code requirements to
provide clearance above estimated snowfall level and
ensure adequate drainage of unit. Use snow stand in areas
where prolonged freezing temperatures are encountered.
If conditions or local codes require the unit be attached to
pad or mounting frame, tie down bolts should be used and
fastened through knockouts provided in unit base pan.
Clearance Requirements
snow, or ice from roof or eaves cannot fall directly on unit.
Refer to Table 2 for installation clearances.
