• To prevent noise transmission, the mounting pad
for the outdoor unit should not be connected to
the structure and should be located a sufficient
distance above grade to prevent ground water from
entering the unit.

The outdoor unit may be mounted in a number of
ways. The most common method is on a ground The manufacturer-approved/recommended method is

4.3.3 Elevating Unit
WARNING: Secure an elevated unit and its
elevating stand in order to prevent tipping. Failure to do so may
result in severe personal injury or death.
If elevating the unit, either on a flat roof or on a slab, observe the
following guidelines.

10.0 OUTDOOR UNIT MAINTENANCE
10.1 Outdoor Coil Cleaning
The outdoor fan draws air across the coil during an angle. Washing from the top of the coil down
operation which results in contaminants collecting from the inside out is the most effective method

increases the temperature of the components that
can reduce their life. Therefore, it is recommended WARNING: Disconnect electrical power to

10.2 Cabinet Cleaning and Care


Annual cleaning of the exterior cabinet is
recommended using a mild detergent, water, and
cloth/sponge to remove dust, mold, and potentially
corrosive contaminants that have collected on
the cabinet. It is also recommended to apply a

good quality automotive wax to the painted metal
cabinet parts annually to protect the finish and to
restore the gloss of the paint. Do not apply wax to
the plastic parts.

10.3 Motor Lubrication


The bearings in the outdoor motor are pre-
lubricated by the motor manufacturer and do
not have oiling ports. The motor will run for
an indefinite period of time without additional
lubrication.

10.4 Replacement Parts


Any replacement part used to replace parts
originally supplied on equipment must be the same
as or an approved alternate to the original part
supplied. The manufacturer will not be responsible
for replacement parts not designed to physically
fit or operate within the design parameters the
original parts were selected for.
