Mounting Bolts Finger Tight

8.Hold the ceiling template with one hand and with the other, install the three 150mm long mounting bolts through the template and into the base pan.

a.Finger-tighten the bolts and check alignment. There should be an equal opening on each side and the rear flange must be tight against the roof opening.

b.EVENLY tighten the three bolts to a torque of 4.5 to 5.5 NM (Newton Meters). This will compress the roof gasket to approximately 13mm. The bolts are self locking so over tightening is not necessary.

CAUTION

If bolts are left loose there may not be an ad- equate roof seal or if over tightened, damage may occur to the air conditioner base or ceil- ing template.Tighten to torque specifications listed in this manual.

G. Connection Of Power Supply To Air Conditioner

Important: The electrical installation must be done by an authorized electrician. In some areas they must be licensed.
