1.02 INSPECTION/UNPACKING/HANDLING
Trim strips are ordered to fill the gap between the Scholar V cabinet and the finished
inside surface of the wall, when the cabinet is offset from the wall.
Trim strips are 10 inches in depth and have a 1 inch 90° flange on one end to fit flush to
the finished inside wall. Trim strips can be used to accommodate cabinets with up to a 9
inch offset from the wall.
Trim strips are packaged in corrugated marked on the outside with part number 03027
and strapped to a skid for shipment to the job site. They are painted to match the
cabinet color. The finished painted surfaces have a protective white film on the surface
to protect the surfaces from damage. Leave the film on the painted surfaces until the
strips have been installed and construction work in the area is completed.

STRIP INSTALLATION
The Scholar V heat pump and air conditioner cabinet and plenum (as appropriate) must
be installed, with the floor fasteners in place and the outside louver installed, to ensure
the fixed location of the system prior to installation of the trim strips. Check the cabinet
for vertical plumb and parallelism to the inside of the finished wall prior to installing the
trim strips.
