2.3 PREPARING THE ENCLOSURE
To mount the 5500 Btu unit you will need to cut an opening in your enclosure and drill mounting holes. A cut-
out drawing (Fig. 2.3) showing the cut-out size and hole locations has been included in this manual (see Fig. 2.3). The
instructions for installing the air conditioner are printed below.
TOOLS AND MATERIALS NEEDED:
•
Pencil
•
Tape Measure
•
Jigsaw or suitable alternative
•
Electric drill
•
17/64 (H) drill bit
•
(20) ¼-20 x ½” stainless machine screws (supplied)
•
(20) washers (supplied)
•
(20) ¼-20 nuts (supplied)
•
One neoprene gasket (supplied)
CUT THE OPENING AND DRILL MOUNTING HOLES IN THE ENCLOSURE
1.
Using the guidelines provided in the installation manual choose an appropriate location for the air conditioner
on your enclosure.
2.
Layout the cut-out and hole pattern for the AC on the enclosure. Refer to Figure 2.3.
3.
Before cutting or drilling check that the location meets the clearance requirements as specified in the
installation manual.
4.
Using a pencil, center punch or other method, mark the exact center point of each mounting hole on the
enclosure
5.
Using the jigsaw, cut the opening in the enclosure.
6.
Using the 17/64 drill bit, drill a hole at each of the marks you made earlier.
2.4 INSTALLING THE AIR CONDITIONER
INSTALL THE AIR CONDITIONER
1.
Lay the air conditioner down with the cold side (side with the thermostat) facing up.
2.
Take the supplied gasket and lay it down on the flange.
3.
Take one of the supplied mounting screws and, from the under side of the flange, push it up through the top
right mounting hole, and through the hole in the gasket. The gasket hole is undersized and will hold the screw
in place. Repeat this on the top left mounting hole.
4.
Set the AC unit in the hole you’ve cut in the enclosure, and using a screwdriver, carefully start the two screws
you attached to the gasket to the tapped holes in the enclosure. Do not tighten these at this time.
5.
Install the rest of the screws in the flange placing a nylon washer on each fastener and screw them into the
holes in the enclosure. Do not tighten them completely.
6.
Remove the two starter screws and place a nylon washer on each and reinstall.
7.
Tighten all screws.
