ECURING THE
MINOTAIR
•
The mounting location must be solid enough to support the weight of the device
filled with water, in case the drain clogs up, which is a total weight of 120 lb. (55 kg).
•
The MINOTAIR must be suspended using the four specially designed hooks. Use
the polypropylene webbing straps (supplied) to tie the device.
•
Each strap must have its upper part secured by the equivalent of a #10 screw (M5),
at least 1¼ in (3 cm) deep. The lower part of the strap is attached to its
corresponding hook on one of the MINOTAIR’s four corners.
•
Ensure there is a space of at least 16" (40 cm) in front of and under the device to
open the access panel. If that is impossible, the panel can be removed completely
by sliding it to the right. In that case, ensure there is a space to the right of the
device of at least 2 in (5 cm).
•
Allow for a minimum space of ½ in (1 cm) between the device and the walls. Do not
install the device directly against a wall, because the vibrations it makes while
functioning will transfer to the building structure and may disturb the occupants.
However, if space allows, leave a clearance of 12" to 16" (30-40 cm) at the back of
the unit for easy troubleshooting.
•
The device must be level after installation in order to allow the condensates to
drain properly and to avoid compressor damage.
