lf the unit is frequently exposed to heavy rain or snow:
Build a shelter above the unit to protect it from the rain or snow. Be careful not to obstruct air
flow around the unit.

Step 2: lnstall drain joint(Heat pump unit only)
Before bolting the outdoor unit in place, you must install the drain joint at the bottom of the unit. Note
that there are two different types of drain joints depending on the type of outdoor unit.
lf the drain joint comes with a rubber seal (see Fig. A ), do the following:
1.
Fit the rubber seal on the end of the drain joint that will connect to the outdoor unit.
2.
lnsert the drain joint into the hole in the base pan of the unit.
3.
Rotate the drain joint 90° until it clicks in place facing the front of the unit.
4.
Connect a drain hose extension (not included) to the drain joint to redirect water from the unit
during heating mode.
