outdoor units and never obstruct their air vents.
Leave a 300mm gap all round to let air circulate.
Always switch OFF and unplug the equipment
when not in use.
Never carry or pull the equipment by its power

or plug gets damaged, return it. Never try to repair
it yourself.
Keep flexes out of harm’s way, and clear of moving parts.
Extension leads should be fully unwound and
loosely coiled, away from the equipment. Never run
them through water, over sharp edges or where they
could trip someone.
Using electrical equipment in very damp or wet
conditions can be dangerous.
To reduce the risk of electric shock, always use
a suitable RCD (Residual Current-Operated Device)
available from your local HSS Hire Shop, or power the Split
Unit Air Conditioner from a power circuit with a built-in RCD.
Ensure the Split Unit Air Conditioner and power
socket are switched OFF before plugging into the
power supply.
Never operate the unit in very cold conditions it
works properly only at temperatures above 18ºC. If
the temperature in the room is above 35ºC, open all the
doors/windows and operate the fan only, to circulate the
air and help reduce the temperature.
GETTING STARTED
ELECTRICAL SAFETY
GENERAL SAFETY
Set the indoor unit up on a firm, level surface,
capable of bearing its weight and where motor noise
will not be a nuisance. Do not site the unit close to any
surface sensitive to heat, cold or moisture. Once in
position, lock the brakes on the swivel castors.
When setting up or restarting, allow both units to
stand/settle for 15 minutes before switching ON.
The outdoor unit can be situated up to a maximum
of 35m away from the indoor unit, dependent on
the number of additional lengths of umbilical attached.
However, do not exceed the maximum rise (or fall)
of 4.6m.
The umbilical assembly contains 4 main
connections, a power supply lead, a condensation
tube and two water pipes.
The connection is the same for both the indoor and
outdoor unit except that the connectors are
male/female and set in such a way that the umbilical
assembly can only be used in one direction.
The electrical lead has a male fitting on one end
and a female fitting on the other. The male should
be attached to the indoor unit (see illustration) and
the female fitting to the outdoor unit.
The water pipes are fitted with a simple quick
release coupling. To attach the water pipes, pull
back the coupling’s outer sleeve, push the male into the
female fitting, then let the sleeve snap back into place
(see illustration).
To disconnect the water pipes, simply reverse the
fitting instruction. It is possible for a drop of water to
escape when carrying out this procedure.
The clear condensation tube attaches to the
respective unit by simply pushing the tube into the
inline connector.
Attach the umbilical assembly to the outside unit
prior to positioning.
Site the outdoor unit in a convenient position
outside the room to be cooled.
The unit can be positioned through a suitable window
with the unit hung by chains, (available for hire from your
local HSS Hire Shop) or on a flat roof, but which ever method
is chosen the unit must be made secure.
The outdoor unit must be kept upright with the
fan motor assembly facing towards the building,
this way the hot air is directed away from the building.
