Safety precautions Check the following before installation and service work. Before welding, remove dangerous and inflammable things that may cause an explosion and fire around the work. Before welding, remove the refrigerant from inside the pipe or the product. If you perform welding while refrigerant is in the pipe, it may increase the pressure of the refrigerant and cause the pipe to burst.

• Please firstly ensure the strength and levelness of the platform, ground and the support so as to lower the noise and vibration for fear of human injuries. Caution • The hanging mount on the wall is prohibited due to the heavy machine. The improper installation shall lead to the fall of the machine as well as human injuries.
Installation of Air-conditioner • When installing, make sure there is no leakage. When collecting the refrigerant, stop the compressor first before removing the connection pipe. If the refrigerant pipe is not properly connected and the compressor Warning works with the service valve open, the pipe inhales the air and it makes the pressure inside of the refrigerant cycle abnormally high which may lead to explosion and injury.
Selecting refrigerant pipe Install the refrigerant pipe according to main pipe size of each outdoor unit capacity. When the pipe length (including elbow) between an outdoor unit and the farthest indoor unit exceeds 90m, you must increase the size of the gas pipe (main pipe) by one grade which connects between the outdoor unit to the first branch joint.
