ROOF MOUNTING
Install unit 6" (152 mm) above the roof surface to avoid ice
build−up around the unit. Locate the unit above a load
bearing wall or area of the roof that can adequately support
the unit. Consult local codes for rooftop applications.
If unit cannot be located away from prevailing winter winds,
construct a wind barrier sized at least the same height and
width as outdoor unit. Position barrier 24" (610 mm) from
the sides of the unit in direction of prevailing winds as
illustrated in figure 7.
