41. Safety Precautions Read the following “SAFETY PRECAUTIONS” carefully before perform any servicing. Electrical work must be installed or serviced by a licensed electrician. Be sure to use the correct rating of the power plug andmain circuit for the model installed. The caution items stated here must be followed because these important contents are related to safety. The meaning of eachindication used is as below. Incorrect installation or servicing due to ignoring of the instruction will cause harm or damage,and the seriousness is classified by the following indications.WARNING This indication shows the possibility of causing death or serious injury.CAUTION This indication shows the possibility of causing injury or damage to properties. The items to be followed are classified by the symbols:This symbol denotes item that is PROHIBITED from doing. Carry out test run to confirm that no abnormality occurs after the servicing. Then, explain to user the operation, care andmaintenance as stated in instructions. Please remind the customer to keep the operating instructions for future reference.WARNING1. Do not modify the machine, part, material during repairing service.2. If wiring unit is supplied as repairing part, do not repair or connect the wire even only partial wire break. Exchange the whole wiring unit.3. Do not wrench the fasten terminal. Pull it out or insert it straightly.4. Engage dealer or specialist for installation and servicing. If installation of servicing done by the user is defective, it will cause waterleakage, electrical shock or fire.5. Install according to this installation instructions strictly. If installation is defective, it will cause water leakage, electric shock or fire.6. Use the attached accessories parts and specified parts for installation and servicing. Otherwise, it will cause the set to fall, water leakage,fire or electrical shock.7. Install at a strong and firm location which is able to withstand the set’s weight. If the strength is not enough or installation is not properlydone, the set will drop and cause injury.8. For electrical work, follow the local national wiring standard, regulation and the installation instruction. An independent circuit and singleoutlet must be used. If electrical circuit capacity is not enough or defect found in electrical work, it will cause electrical shock or fire.9. This equipment is strongly recommended to install with Earth Leakage Circuit Breaker (ELCB) or Residual Current Device (RCD).Otherwise, it may cause electrical shock and fire in case equipment breakdown or insulation breakdown.10.Do not use joint cable for indoor / outdoor connection cable. Use the specified Indoor/Outdoor connection cable, refer to installationinstruction CONNECT THE CABLE TO THE INDOOR UNIT and connect tightly for indoor / outdoor connection. Clamp the cable so thatno external force will be acted on the terminal. If connecting or fixing is not perfect, it will cause heat up or fire at the connection.11. Wire routing must be properly arranged so that control board cover is fixed properly. If control board cover is not fixed perfectly, it willcause heat-up or fire at the connection point of terminal, fire or electrical shock.12. When install or relocate air conditioner, do not let any substance other than the specified refrigerant, eg. air etc. mix into refrigerationcycle (piping). (Mixing of air etc. will cause abnormal high pressure in refrigeration cycle and result in explosion, injury etc.).13. Do not install outdoor unit near handrail of veranda. When installing air-conditioner unit at veranda of high rise building, child may climbup to outdoor unit and cross over the handrail and causing accident.14. This equipment must be properly earthed. Earth line must not be connected to gas pipe, water pipe, earth of lightning rod andtelephone. Otherwise, it may cause electric shock in case equipment breakdown or insulation breakdown.15. Keep away from small children, the thin film may cling to nose and mouth and prevent breathing.16. Do not use unspecified cord, modified cord, joint cord or extension cord for power supply cord. Do not share the single outlet withother electrical appliances. Poor contact, poor insulation or over current will cause electrical shock or fire.17. Tighten the flare nut with torque wrench according to specified method. If the flare nut is over-tightened, after a long period, theflare may break and cause refrigerant gas leakage.18.For R410A model, use piping, flare nut and tools which is specified for R410A refrigerant. Using of existing (R22) piping, flare nutand tools may cause abnormally high pressure in the refrigerant cycle (piping), and possibly result in explosion and injury.Thickness or copper pipes used with R410A must be more than 0.8 mm. Never use copper pipes thinner than 0.8 mm.It is desirable that the amount of residual oil less than 40 mg/10 m.19.During installation, install the refrigerant piping properly before run the compressor. (Operation of compressor without fixing refrigerationpiping and valves at opened condition will caused suck-in of air, abnormal high pressure in refrigeration cycle and result in explosion,injury etc).
