INSTALLING THE SUPPLY AIR 

DISTRIBUTION

For  the  L-4  chassis  installation,  you  will  use  the 
factory-installed Volvo ductwork for supply air distri-
bution. In addition, you will add one or two 4" ducts to 
extra discharge grills. The 10,000 BTU air conditioner 
uses one 4" duct, and the 14,000 BTU system uses 
two.

Connecting to the Volvo Ductwork

First, remove the rubber duct transition that is located 
in the passenger-side luggage compartment (Fig. 11). 
It is secured only by force, so you can remove it by 
pulling. 

Remove the duct from the truck, and cut a 4” hole as 
shown in the photograph (Fig. 12).

Find the V4 RND black 4" round grill. Trim the flange 
on two sides, as shown in the photographs (Figs. 1-
14), so it will fit into the duct transition.
