symbol on the unit and in instructions or manuals, be alert to the potential for personal
injury. Understand these signal words: DANGER, WARNING, and CAUTION. These
words are used with the safety-alert symbol.
DANGER identifies the most serious hazards which will result in severe personal in-
jury or death.
WARNING signifies hazards which could result in personal injury or death.
CAUTION is used to identify unsafe practices which may result in minor personal
injury or product and property damage.
NOTE is used to highlight suggestions which will result in enhanced installation,
reliability, or operation.
This appliance is not intended for use by children without responsible adult supervision.
Proper care should be taken to ensure safety.

Ground Pad or Wall Hangers Installation
1. Determine proper location for outdoor unit.
2. Follow all instructions provided by manufacturer for installing wall hangers or ground pad.
3. Verify the wall hangers or ground pad can safely support the weight of the outdoor unit.
4. Verify the wall hangers or ground pad is level and meets all outdoor dimensional clearances.
Outdoor Unit Risers Installation
f the outdoor unit requires added elevation above the ground, installing riser legs will provide
a sturdy and stable solution. Follow all instructions provided by manufacturer for installing
riser legs to outdoor unit.
NOTE: Riser legs will also help absorb vibrations and noise while facilitating proper drainage.
NOTE: To meet Florida Wind Load criteria, the outdoor unit must be anchored to concrete pad
using four 3/8-in diameter Power Wedge Bolt Plus (or equivalent) with 1-in diameter fender
washers. Anchor bolts must be embedded into 3,000 PS minimum concrete at a distance of
41/2-in from any concrete edge. The concrete thickness must exceed 1.5 times the anchor depth.
Condensate Drain Installation for Outdoor Unit
During normal heating and defrost operation,
the outdoor unit will generate condensate water.
The condensate water should be routed to a safe
location through the drain hose.
1. Locate and select a drain hole on bottom of
outdoor unit.
2. nstall the outdoor drain fitting into hole on
the bottom of outdoor unit as shown.
3. Connect the drain hose to drain fitting.
4. Route drain hose to safe location for proper
drainage of excess condensate water.
5. All non-used drain holes should be plugged.
Drain Fitting Installation

Carefully cut hole in the side of the front panel for piping to enter indoor unit as shown below.
Find and mark the proper location for the wall hole. Use table below to determine recommended
wall hole size for your unit size.
3.
Cut the wall hole with a 5° to 10° downward slant to the outdoors.
4. nsert a wall sleeve into hole to prevent damage to refrigerant pipes, insulation,
condensate drain hose and wiring.
5. Proper weather proofing of the wall
surface and wall sleeve is essential to
assure a trouble-free installation. Apply
sealant, caulking or equivalent weather
proofing material around the perimeter
of the wall sleeve (interior & exterior) to
eliminate outdoor air and water leaks
into the living space.

extend the indoor unit refrigerant flare connections to the outside of the wall.
2. Use mounting bracket diagrams and dimensions to find and mark the proper location
for the wall hole.

NOTE: For maximum serviceability, it is recommended to have refrigerant piping and
drain connections on the outside.
Piping Preparation
1. Do not open service valves or remove protective caps on pipes until all connections are made.
2. Keep tubing free of dirt, sand, moisture and contaminants.
3. nsulate each refrigerant pipe and condensate hose with minimum 3/8” (10 mm) wall
thermal pipe insulation.
4. Bind refrigerant pipes, the condensate hose and interconnecting cable together with
cable ties at 12-inch (25.4 mm) intervals.
Use refrigeration grade piping ONLY. Uses of other piping will void the Manufacturer’s Warranty.
CAUTION
Oil Return Bend
When the outdoor unit is more than 30 feet (9m) above the
indoor unit, an oil return bend must be added for every
20 feet (6m) of connection pipe.
Piping Connections to Indoor Unit
1. Feed refrigerant pipes, drain hose and interconnecting wires
assembly through wall hole from outdoor to the indoor unit.
2. Adjust the length and carefully bend refrigerant pipes to meet
indoor unit refrigerant pipe connections with proper tools to
avoid kinks.
3. Apply a small amount of refrigerant oil to the flare connection
on the refrigerant pipes.

NOTE: Use proper techniques to cut and re-flare
refrigerant pipes, if required. An R410A Flaring Tool
is required for re-flaring refrigerant pipes.
3. Apply a small amount of refrigerant oil to the flare connection on the refrigerant pipe.
4. Properly align piping and tighten flare nut using a standard wrench and a torque
wrench as shown in the indoor piping section.
5. Carefully tighten flare nuts to correct torque level referring to the Torque Table above.
4. Properly align piping and tighten flare nut using a standard wrench and a torque wrench
