been included in this manual (see Appendix). The instructions for installing the air conditioner are
printed below.

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 the Appendix.
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 appropriate drill bit, drill a hole at each of the marks you made earlier.
7.
Using the 8-32 tap, tap each of the holes you have drilled. (Non-Extension Frame Only)
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 tapped 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.
