B.Dometic Corporation will not be liable for any damages or injury incurred due to failure in following these instruc- tions.

C.Installation must comply with the National Electrical Code and any State or Local Codes or regulations.

D.DO NOT add any devices or accessories to this air conditioner except those specifically authorized by Dometic.

E.This equipment must be serviced by qualified personnel and some states require these people to be licensed.

2. CHOOSING LOCATION FOR THE UNIT

This air conditioner/heat pump is specifically designed for installation on the roof of a recreational vehicle (RV).

A.FOR ONE UNIT INSTALLATION:

The air conditioner/heat pump should be mounted slightly forward of center (front to back) and centered from side to side.

B.FOR TWO UNIT INSTALLATIONS:

Install one air conditioner/heat pump one-third and one air conditioner two-thirds from front of RV and centered from side to side. It is preferred that the air conditioner/ heat pump be installed in a relatively flat and level roof section measured with the RV parked on a level surface.

C.AFTER LOCATION HAS BEEN SELECTED:

1.Check for obstructions in the area where air condi- tioner/heat pump and return air cover will be in- stalled.

2.The roof must be designed to support 130 pounds when the RV is in motion. Normally a 200 lbs. static load design will meet this requirement.

CAUTION

It is the responsibility of the installer of this air conditioner/heat pump system to ensure structural integrity of the RV roof. Never cre- ate a low spot on the roof where water will collect. Water standing around the air con- ditioner/heat pump may leak into the inte- rior causing damage to the product and the RV.

3. AIR DISTRIBUTION SYSTEM SIZING &

DESIGN
