3.If dryer is exhausted through the floor and area beneath the mobile home is enclosed,
the exhaust system MUST terminate outside the enclosure with the termination securely fastened to the mobile home structure.
4.Refer to previous sections in this guide for other important exhaust venting system requirements.
5.When installing a gas dryer into a mobile home, a provision must be made for outside make up air. This provision is to be not less than twice the area of the dryer exhaust outlet.
6.Installer MUST anchor this (1) dryer or (2) dryer mounted on pedestal to the floor with approved
Mobile Home Installation Kit - P/N 137067200.
