Get the customer's permission.
1. There is no danger of fire due to leakage of inflammable gas.
2. Select the location of the unit in such a way that neither the dis­
charged air nor the sound generated by the unit disturb anyone.
3. The foundation is strong enough to support the weight of the unit
and the floor is flat to prevent vibration and noise generation.
4. The piping length between the outdoor unit and the indoor unit
may not exceed the allowable piping length. (Refer to
