IMPORTANT
Unit Stabilizer Bracket Use (field−provided):
Always use stabilizers when unit is raised above the
factory height. (Elevated units could become
unstable in gusty wind conditions).
Stabilizers may be used on factory height units
when mounted on unstable an uneven surface.
ELEVATING LARGER−BASE UNITS
Unlike the small−base units which use round support feet,
the larger−base units are outfitted with elongated support
feet as illustrated in figure 11 which uses a similar method
for elevating the unit.
If additional elevation is necessary, raise the unit by
extending the length of the unit support feet. This may be
achieved by using a 2" SCH 40 female threaded adapter.
The specified coupling will fit snuggly into the recessed
portion of the feet. Use additional 2" SCH 40 male threaded
adaptors which can be threaded into the female threaded
adaptors to make additional adjustments to the level of the
unit.
NOTE − Keep the height of extenders short enough to
ensure a sturdy installation. If it is necessary to extend
further, consider a different type of field−fabricated
framework that is sturdy enough for greater heights.

Panels
CAUTION
To prevent personal injury, or damage to panels,
unit or structure, be sure to observe the following:
While installing or servicing this unit, carefully stow
all removed panels out of the way, so that the panels
will not cause injury to personnel, nor cause
damage to objects or structures nearby, nor will the
panels be subjected to damage (e.g., being bent or
scratched).
While handling or stowing the panels, consider any
weather conditions, especially windy conditions,
that may cause panels to be blown around and
battered.
REMOVING PANELS
Remove the louvered panels as follows:
1. Remove two screws, allowing the panel to swing open
slightly as illustrated in figure 12.
NOTE − Hold the panel firmly throughout this procedure
2. Rotate bottom corner of panel away from hinge corner
post until lower three tabs clear the slots as illustrated
in figure 12, detail B.
3. Move panel down until lip of upper tab clears the top
slot in corner post as illustrated in figure 12, detail A.
INSTALLING PANELS
Install the louvered panels as follows:
1. Position the panel almost parallel with the unit as
illustrated in figure 13, detail D with the screw side as
close to the unit as possible.
