In A Snowy Area (For Heat Pump-Type Systems); Safety Precautions - Panasonic U-16GE3E5 Bedienungsanleitung

When Transporting
Be careful when picking up and moving
the indoor and outdoor 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...
...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
Property 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 prevents water
damage and abnormal vibration.
...In an Area with High Winds
Securely anchor the outdoor unit down
with bolts and a metal frame. Provide a
suitable air baffle.
...In a Snowy Area (for Heat Pump-type
Systems)
Install the outdoor unit on a raised platform
that is higher than drifting snow. Provide
snow vents.

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

• Check the type of gas used for engine fuel.
If the wrong type of gas is supplied, the engine can suffer
combustion problems, and there is the danger of poisoning
caused by exhaust gases.
When Connecting Refrigerant Tubing
• Use the frame method for connecting
tubing.
• Apply refrigerant lubricant to the
matching surfaces of the flare and
union tubes before connecting them,
then tighten the nut with a torque
wrench for a leak-free connection.
• Check carefully for leaks before
starting the test run.
When Servicing
• Turn the power OFF at the main power
box (mains) before opening the unit
to check or repair electrical parts and
wiring.
• Keep your fingers and clothing away
from any moving parts.
• Clean up the site after you finish,
remembering to check that no metal
scraps or bits of wiring have been left
inside the unit being serviced.
Others
• Ventilate any enclosed areas when
installing or testing the refrigeration
system. Escaped refrigerant gas, on
contact with fire or heat, can produce
dangerously toxic gas.
• Confirm upon completing installation
that no refrigerant gas is leaking. If
escaped gas comes in contact with a
stove, gas water heater, electric room
heater or other heat source, it can
produce dangerously toxic gas.
