The platform height should be the same level as the
bottom of the wall opening or, if casters are used, 1 and
3/16” lower (to accommodate the casters), to allow the
chassis to sit level on the platform. Because wall sleeve
depths can vary depending on overall wall thickness, it is
critical that wall thickness be determined before ordering
the wall sleeve
(Figure 2)
. Consult factory for available wall
sleeve sizes.
1. Install 1/2” x 1/2” or 1” x 1” foam tape (supplied) to
the unit condenser top and sides to seal against
the wall sleeve
(Figure 3)
.
CAUTION
Before continuing with Step 2, refer to the appropriate
control box application for your installation (i.e., front or
left/right side control applications.)

A. Attach the weather angles to the chassis using
the screws provided.
B. Slide chassis into wall sleeve, assuring that wall
sleeve studs align with the holes just above the
condenser coil.
C. Attach left and right weather angles to wall sleeve
using the two 1/4-20 nuts provided.
