The following safety precautions must be taken when using your air
conditioner.
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
1. Warning: Prior to repair, disconnect the power cord.
2. Use proper parts: use only exact replacement parts. (Also, we recommend replacing parts rather
than repairing them.)
3. Use the proper tools: use the proper tools and test equipment, and know how to use them. Using
defective tools or test equipment may cause problems later-intermittent contact, for example.
4. Power cord: prior to repair, check the power cord and replace it if necessary.
5. Avoid using an extension cord, and avoid tapping into a power cord. This practice may result in
malfunction or fire.
6. After completing repairs and reassembly, check the insulation resistance.
Procedure: prior to applying power, measure the resistance between the power cord and the ground
terminal. The resistance must be greater than 30 megohms.
7. Make sure that the grounds are adequate.
8. Make sure that the installation conditions are satisfactory. Relocate the unit if necessary.
9. Keep children away from the unit while it is being repaired.
10. Be sure to clean the unit and its surrounding area.

Location of indoor unit
A place solid enough to bear the weight of the unit and not cause any shake.
Good ventilation, less dust, far from direct rain and sunshine.
Avoid places close to inflammable gas leakage.
Keep the air inlet and outlet at a far distance from the blockage.
Keep the height distance between the indoor and outdoor unit at most 5m.
Mount on the wall solid enough to bear the weight of the unit and not cause any shake.
Avoid direct sunshine.
A place easy for condensate drain and easy for connecting with the outdoor unit.
Keep a far distance away from the fluorescent lamp, it may influence the operation of remote controller.
Location of outdoor unit
Keep at least 1m away from the TV radio and other home appliances.
A place where the air discharged out of the outdoor unit or the operation noise will not annoy your
neighbours.
No blockage near the outdoor unit.
Avoid places close to inflammable gas leakage.
Selecting area for installation
INSTALLATION
Select an area for installation that is suitable to the customers needs.
It is harmful to the air conditioner if it is used in the following environments: greasy areas (including area
near machines). Salty area such as coastal areas, areas where sulfuric gas is present such as hot spring
areas. Contact your dealer for advice.

the wall and the pipeline, or wrap
up the pipeline with 7-8 layers of
insulating plastic tape.

ROUTE OF PIPE
If pipe comes out of the right side of the indoor unit, cut part
“1” of the unit;
If pipe comes out of the lower-right side of the indoor unit, cut
part “2” of the unit;
If pipe comes out of the left side of the indoor unit, cut part “3”
of the unit.

WARNING:
Special cable must be used to connect indoor unit and outdoor unit. It should be ensured
that the terminals are not influenced by external force. Poor connection may cause fire.
The electric box cover must be mounted and secured in position, otherwise fire or electrical
shock may occur because of dust or moisture.
The connecting cables must be clipped together.
Please take the electric circuit diagram attached to the indoor/outdoor units as major
reference while installing.
The power wire and signal wire between the indoor/outdoor units must be connected
one by one as per corresponding number on the wiring terminal board.
All the models shall be connected with the mains which has system impedance limitations.
While installing the unit, please see the following table for impedance information or
consult with the supply authority.
The temperature of refrigerant circuit will be high, please keep the interconnection cable away
from the copper tube.

Use soapy water to check the gas leakage especially
at all joint. If there is no gas leakage, please turn the
valve cork of liquid side at 90 counter-clockwise again.
Press the cork of service port at gas shut-off valve, 10
seconds later, when you see foggy gas discharged, that
means inner air is exhausted out.
Use Allen wrench to turn the valve cork of both liquid
shut-off valve and gas shut-off valve counter-clockwise
until they are completely open and then replace the
valve caps and tighten them.

Use the pipe cutter to cut off the broken part of flare.
Remove burrs at the cut of the flare.
Insert a nut into the connecting pipe and do flaring
with specified flaring tools, reamers for example.
Check the quality of flaring technique.
