2. PRECAUTIONS FOR INSTALLATION WORK
(1) Foundation construction
• The foundation for the outdoor A/C unit must be made of concrete or similar material, and must be
sturdy and level, with good drainage.
Failure to create a suitable foundation may result in the outdoor unit tipping over, causing gas leak-
age or personal injury.
• When installing the outdoor unit, be sure to use the specifi ed size of anchor bolts (shown in Fig. 7)
and anchor the unit security. Failure to do so may result in the outdoor unit tipping over, causing gas
leakage and personal injury.
Spread a vibration-resistant mat over the surface where the bottom of the outdoor unit contacts the ground,
so that the load is applied evenly. Use rubber bushings and anchors in such a way does not diminish the
vibration-resistant effects.

Be sure to take the following steps to prevent shifting of the foundation.
A mat foundation that is simply placed on a fl oor slab (A-a type) must be of the dimensions shown in the table
above or larger in order to prevent shifting of the foundation in case of earthquake. If the mat foundation is
smaller than these dimensions, take steps such as connecting the foundation and the building structure with
reinforcing bars, in accordance with building utilities earthquake-resistant design and construction guide-
lines.
Foundation types A-b, A-c, A-d, and A-e are provided as examples.
Use one of the following types of anchors. Use bolts of size M12 or larger for all bolts.
1. Embedded-type: L-type, LA-type, headed bolts, J-type, JA-type
2. Blockout-type: L-type, LA-type, headed bolts, J-type, JA-type (Make dimension "f" of the foundation
180 mm or more.)
3. Plastic anchor
4. External-thread type mechanical anchor
(Note) Do not use an internal-thread type mechanical anchor.
