SPECIAL PRECAUTIONS
WARNING
When Wiring
ELECTRICAL SHOCK CAN CAUSE
SEVERE PERSONAL INJURY OR DEATH.
ONLY A QUALIFIED, EXPERIENCED
ELECTRICIAN SHOULD ATTEMPT TO
WIRE THIS SYSTEM.
• Do not supply power to the unit until all wiring and tub-
ing are completed or reconnected and checked.
• Highly dangerous electrical voltages are used in this
system. Carefully refer to the wiring diagram and these
instructions when wiring. Improper connections and
inadequate grounding can cause accidental injury or
death.
• Ground the unit following local electrical codes.
• Connect all wiring tightly. Loose wiring may cause
overheating at connection points and a possible fire
hazard.
• Install a protective leakage breaker depending on the
installation location (especially a damp or humid loca-
tion). If a leakage breaker is not installed, electric
shock can occur.
When Transporting
Be careful when picking up and moving the indoor and

outdoor units. Get a partner to help, and bend your knees
when lifting to reduce strain on your back. Sharp edges or
thin aluminum fins on the air conditioner can cut your fin-
gers.
When Installing...
...In a Ceiling or Wall
Make sure the ceiling/wall is strong enough to hold the
unit's weight. It may be necessary to construct a strong
wood or metal frame to provide added support.
...In a Room
Properly insulate any tubing run inside a room to prevent
"sweating" that can cause dripping and water damage to
walls and floors.
...In Moist or Uneven Locations
Use a raised concrete pad or concrete blocks to provide
a solid, level foundation for the outdoor unit. This pre-
vents water damage and abnormal vibration.
When Connecting Refrigerant Tubing
• Do not add any refrigerant, air, or substance into the
refrigeration circuit other than the designated refriger-
ant (R410A). Adding anything other than the specified
refrigerant may cause the pressure to rise excessively
in the refrigeration circuit, rupturing the circuit and
causing injury or damage.
• Use all-new tubing and flare nuts to make the tubing
connections. Using any previous parts (from R22-
based systems) may result in damage to the equip-
ment, and may lead to the refrigeration circuit ruptur-
ing, causing a serious accident.
• Apply refrigerant lubricant to the matching surfaces of
the flare and union tubes before connecting them, then
tighten the nut with a torque wrench for a leak-free
connection.
• Check carefully for leaks before starting the test run.
When Servicing
• Turn the power OFF at the main power box (mains)
before opening the unit to check or repair electrical
parts and wiring.
• Keep your fingers and clothing away from any moving
parts.
• Clean up the site after you finish, remembering to
check that no metal scraps or bits of wiring have been
left inside the unit being serviced.
CAUTION
Others
• Ventilate any enclosed areas when installing or testing
the refrigeration system. Escaped refrigerant gas, on
contact with fire or heat, can produce dangerously
toxic gas.
• Confirm upon completing installation that no refrigerant
gas is leaking. If escaped gas comes in contact with a
stove, gas water heater, electric room heater or other
heat source, it can produce dangerously toxic gas.
