Installation Manual for Snow Protection Hood (for Outdoor Unit)
This snow protection hood prevents snow from entering the outdoor unit and to prevent strong winds from
blowing against the heat exchanger. Be sure to read this manual carefully for correct performance before
installation work.
IMPORTANT NOTICE:

• This kit is designed for a combination of Johnson Control air conditioners. Do not use this kit by itself or in
combination with other companies’ air conditioners.
• To hold the snow protection hood properly to the outdoor unit against the strong wind or earthquake, stay
or safety wire rope shall be used for reinforced installation. Use the field-supplied safety wire rope to
prevent outdoor unit from overturning.
• Perform a test run after installation to check for abnormalities.
• Signal words are used to identify levels of hazard seriousness. Definitions for identifying hazard levels are
provided below with their respective signal words.

2. Installation Work
(1) After the snow protection hood is installed, electromagnetic noise at the air outlet side may slightly
increase. Therefore, it is necessary to carefully consider the air discharge direction when installed.
(2) Be sure to tighten the snow protection hood securely to the top panel and side panel of the outdoor
unit with the supplied screws (accessories). Not doing so may cause vibration or abnormal noise.
(3) There must be no obstacles in the air discharge direction of the snow protection hood. If there are, it
may cause a short circuit or an insufficient airflow rate.
(4) Do not install other outdoor units in the direction of air outlet. If the air blown out of the snow protection
hood is sucked into the other outdoor unit, it may cause of a malfunction of the unit.
(5) The wind loads which the outdoor unit receives changes by attaching the snow protection hood. The
required installation strength will also change in strong wind. Therefore, recheck the strength of the
anchor bolts of the outdoor unit.
(6) If the snow protection hood is installed, cooling/heating performance may be slightly lowered
depending on the usage conditions.

To hold the snow protection hood properly to the outdoor unit against a strong wind or an earthquake, safety
wire rope should be used for reinforced installation. Use the field-supplied safety wire rope to prevent the
outdoor unit from overturning.
●Install the snow protection hood so as to avoid facing directly toward seasonal or strong winds.
●Apply touch-up coating or caulking (field-supplied) at the screw holes of the outdoor unit in order to
prevent rusting.
●Even though the hood is stainless, salt or iron may cause rust. Be aware of this during installation or
maintenance.
●The snow protection hood is heavy-weight. More than two people are required for installation. Be sure
to wear protective equipment (such as gloves).
●The screws and the snow protection hood must be protected from scratches or scrapes. If they aren’t,
it may be the cause of rusting. Handle with care when the snow protection hood is installed and
assembled.
3. Selection of Installation Location
(1) Install the outdoor unit at the suitable height with consideration for snow accumulation. Increase the
base height or additionally provide the frame under the unit (higher than snow accumulation), and fix
the outdoor unit securely with anchor bolts.
(2) Secure enough service space with consideration for snow accumulation height and snow removal
operation.
(3) There must be no obstacles in the air discharge direction.
(4) Be sure to apply touch-up coating or caulking agent at the screw attaching portions for rustproofing.
(5) In case of multiple outdoor units installation, provide the service space as shown below.

7. Maintenance and Servicing
Even if during the warranty period, the snow protection hood becomes rusted under conditions that are
caused by alkaline or corrosive moisture, recommendations are to provide salt damage resistance products
to prevent such damage. In order to prolong the product life, perform periodical maintenance to prevent
significant aging due to deterioration. Carry out the following periodical inspection and maintenance works
in conjunction with air conditioners’ inspection.
(1) Red Rust Generation and Coating Film Check
If red rust is generated, or coating film is peeled/cracked, scour the rust off or apply touch-up coating.
When recoating such parts, be sure to grind the coating using sandpaper (#180 to 230) before re-
applying coating agent. Wear protective equipment such as vinyl gloves when handling the coating
agent to prevent contact with skin.
(2) Retightening Screws for Installation and Assembly
Check for loose screws and retighten when inspection and maintenance is performed. In order to
prevent screw breakage, be sure to tighten with the following torques:
* M5 Tapping Screw Type C for Assembling 12 : 2.6 + 0.7 [Ibf-ft] (3.5 + 1.0 [N•m])
* M5 Tapping Screw Type B for Installation 11 : 1.8 + 0.7 [Ibf-ft] (2.5 + 1.0 [N•m])
