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

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 the air outlet. If the air blown out of the snow
protection hood is sucked into the other outdoor unit, it may cause 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 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.
●Install the snow protection hood to avoid direct facing to the seasonal or strong wind.
●Apply touch-up coating or caulking at the screw holes of the outdoor unit in order to prevent rusting.
(field-supplied)
●Even though the stainless, it may rust by contacting with salt or iron. Pay good attention when
installation or maintenance.
●The snow protection hood is heavy-weight. More than two personnel are required for installation and be
sure to wear the protective equipment (such as gloves).
●The screws and the snow protection hood must be protected from scratch or scrape. If not, it may
cause of rusting. Handle with care when the snow protection hood is installed and assembled.
3. Selection of Installation Place
(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.

(1) Tighten the faceplate (back side) ( 4) with the right side plate ( 1) and left side plate ( 2) together
(8 places) by using screws for assembling ( 6).
(2) Tighten the faceplate (top side) ( 3) (6 places) by using screws for assembling ( 6).
(3) Tighten loosely two screws (for installation) at the top of the snow protection hood ( 5) to the outdoor
unit, and set the snow protection hood (for right side air inlet) to the outdoor unit. Tighten the other
four screws ( 5) except for the top two screws, and finally tighten the top two screws securely.
NOTE:
The fitting slots for the hood are adjustable with the securing positions within +1/8 inch (+3mm). For
hood installation, there must be no gap between the outdoor unit top plate and the hood upper part. If

7. Maintenance and Servicing
Even if during the warranty period, the snow protection hood may be rust under the salt damage or rusty
conditions(such a place that aid-, alkaline- or corrosive moisture is always filled with). It is recommended
to provide the salt damage-resistance/serious salt damage-resistance products (made-to-order) if the snow
protection hood is used under such condition.
In order to prolong the product life, perform the periodical maintenance to prevent significant aging due to
the 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 re-coat such portions afterwards, be sure to grind the coating by sandpapers(#180 – 230) before
applying coating agent. The coating agent may give bad effects to your skin. Wear the protective
equipment such as vinyl gloves when handling coating agent to prevent contacting 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 6: 2.6 + 0.7 [Ibf-ft] (3.5 + 1.0 [N•m])
* M5 Tapping Screw Type B for Installation 5: 1.8 + 0.7 [Ibf-ft] (2.5 + 1.0 [N•m])
