LG LV181HV4 Installation Manual page 13

Planning for Snow and Ice, continued.
5. Design the mounting base to prevent snow accumulation on the platform in front or back of the unit frame.
6. Provide a field fabricated snow protection hood to keep snow and ice and/or drifting snow from accumulating on the coil surfaces.
7. To prevent snow and heavy rain from entering the outdoor unit, install the condenser air inlets and outlets facing away from direct
winds.
8. Consider tie-down requirements in case of high winds or where required by local codes.
When deciding on a location to place the outdoor unit, be sure to choose an area where run-off water from defrost cycle will not accumulate and
freeze on sidewalks or driveways, which may create unsafe conditions. Properly install and insulate any drain hoses to prevent the hose from freez-
ing, cracking, leaking, and causing unsafe conditions from frozen condensate.

The indoor unit may take longer to provide heat, or heating performance will be reduced in winter if the unit is installed:
1. In a narrow, shady location.
2. Near a location that has a lot of ground moisture.
