• Be sure to install the unit in a sturdy, level surface to prevent rattling noises dur-
ing operation. (Fig. 4-1 )

5. Installing the refrigerant piping
• Make sure that the length of the foundation bolt is within 30 mm (1-3/16") of the
bottom surface of the base.
• Secure the base of the unit firmly with four-M10 foundation bolts in sturdy loca-
tions.
Installing the outdoor unit
• Do not block the vent. If the vent is blocked, operation will be hindered and break-
down may result.
• In addition to the unit base, use the installation holes on the back of the unit to at-
tach wires, etc., if necessary to install the unit. Use self-tapping screws (_5 x 15
mm, e13/16" x 19/32" or less) and install on site.
z_ Warning:
• The unit must be securely installed on a structure that can sustain its
weight.
If the unit is mounted on an unstable structure, it may fall down and cause
damage or injuries.
• The unit must be installed according to the instructions in order to mini-
mize the risk of damage from earthquakes, typhoons, or strong winds. An
incorrectly installed unit may fall down and cause damage or injuries.

5.1. Precautions for devices that use R410A refrigerant
• Refer to page 3 for precautions not included below on using air conditioners with
R410A refrigerant.
• Use ester oil, ether oil, alkylbenzene oil (small amount) as the refrigeration oil ap-
plied to the flared sections.
• Use C1220 copper phosphorus, for copper and copper alloy seamless pipes, to
connect the refrigerant pipes. Use refrigerant pipes with the thicknesses specified
in the table to the below. Make sure the insides of the pipes are clean and do not
contain any harmful contaminants such as sulfuric compounds, oxidants, debris,
or dust.
Z_ Warning:
When installing or moving the air conditioner, use only the specified refriger-
ant (R410A) to charge the refrigerant lines. Do not mix it with any other refrig-
erant and do not allow air to remain in the lines. Air enclosed in the lines can
cause pressure peaks resulting in a rupture and other hazards.
