mini split condenser placement

[the gnome]

reading the instructions on the mitsu mini split they say not to put the outside condenser unit in a windy location?
I have to install mine in what mite be a windy location?

is there a performance issue with this?
i am in a multi story unit and don't want to start adding xtra lineset for a ground loc.

not one i can think of,provided youre not in gale force winds id say its fine, i think thats a disclaimer in case a high wind puts it through the neighbors window, theyre not responsible i have 2 on the roof no probs with wind yet

yeah,
i see your point ss66.
and the instruction don't go into any whys about it.

Ive only seen one in use and the fan RPMs don't are nowhere near of a fan in a conventional condenser unit so i was thinking high winds would impede the fan maybe??

thats the only thing that comes to mind as well, it would take an incredibly strong wind to alter the fan into a potentially damaging situation imo..i wouldnt worry about it
