• Do not directly install it on the ground, otherwise it will cause failure. CAUTION
• To obtain better operation efficiency, when the outdoor unit is installed,
be sure to open the front and left side. Match the terminal block numbers and connection cable colors with those of the outdoor
unit or branch box. Incorrect wiring may cause a fire..
Outdoor unit bottom Connect the connection cables firmly to the terminal block. Imperfect installation may
cause a fire.
When fixing the connection cable with the cable clamp, always fasten the cable at the
plastic jacket portion, but not at the insulator portion. If the insulator is chafed, electric
leakage may occur.
Do not use an earth screw for an external connector. Only use for interconnection
between two units.

Drain caps Be careful not to generate a spark as follows for using a flammable refrigerant.
Without caps With caps • Do not remove the fuse while power is on.
• Do not disconnect plug from the wall outlet and the wiring while the power is on.
CAUTION • It is recommended to position the outlet connection in a high position. Place the
cords so that they do not get tangled.

CAUTION
Please check the refrigerant circuit for any leaks before starting the pump down
operation.
Do not proceed with the pump down operation if there is no refrigerant left in the
circuit due to bent or broken piping
During the pump down operation, be sure to turn off the compressor before
removing the refrigerant piping.
