installed, electric shock can occur.
When Transporting
Be careful when picking up and moving the indoor and out-
door units. Get a partner to help, and bend your knees when
lifting to reduce strain on your back. Sharp edges or thin
aluminum fins on the air conditioner can cut your fingers.
When Installing...
Select an installation location which is rigid and strong
enough to support or hold the unit, and select a location
for easy maintenance.
...In a Ceiling or Wall
Make sure the ceiling/wall is strong enough to hold the
unit's weight. It may be necessary to construct a strong
wood or metal frame to provide added support.
...In a Room
Properly insulate any tubing run inside a room to prevent
"sweating" that can cause dripping and water damage to
walls and floors.
...In Moist or Uneven Locations
Use a raised concrete pad or concrete blocks to provide
a solid, level foundation for the outdoor unit. This pre-
vents water damage and abnormal vibration.
