My question involves wiring the com line between the inside units and outside unit. My diagram shows three wires for each unit but the wire that came with the units has four wires. Besides L1, L2, and L3, do I use the fourth wire to run to the ground lug? Everything else seams pretty straight foward, I just am puzzled over wiring the com wire. I have an HVAC guy that will purge the lines and do the initial startup once I get the system wired.

Hi Scott,
My old Sanyo cabling has a ground line..

Marked as GND..

It's the green wire going to the chassis.

I had to find some terminal lugs for the wires, that were small enough to fit on the (narrow) terminals.
The screw hole is pretty large, but the lug is small.. At least on the old Sanyo units.
