1.03 INSTALLATION
After the base stand is located on the floor, mark the floor in the locations where 1/2”
through holes go through the bottom flange of the base stand. Be sure the floor is a
hard, smooth surface and the base stand is level. If the floor is carpeted, cut out a base
stand “footprint,” so the base stand rests on the non-carpeted floor.
Anchor the base stand to the floor with the four field supplied anchors.
Now remove the lower front cabinet panel from the heat pump or air conditioner,
removing the shipping skid bolts, air box support and installing the plenum (as
appropriate), following the instructions provided in Appendix C.
WARNING
WHEN MOVING/RAISING THE SCHOLAR V CABINET, UTILIZE ADEQUATE
RESOURCES TO HANDLE THE 1,100 LB. CABINET. THIS IS TO AVOID PERSONAL
INJURY OR DAMAGE TO THE EQUIPMENT/FACILITIES.
With appropriate resources to lift the Scholar V unit, place it on the base stand while
guiding the air box through the wall opening and maintaining clearance between the
plenum (as appropriate) and the ceiling. The Scholar V heat pump aligns and rests on
the base stand.
After the cabinet is resting on the base stand, align the four 3/8” through holes in the
base with the receiving weld nut holes in the base stand. Thread the four 5/16” machine
bolts with flat washers loosely into the base stand. Tighten bolts evenly to affix the
cabinet firmly to base stand.
IMPORTANT
DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN MACHINE BOLTS OR CABINET BASE WILL BOW.
