4.Place the Mechanical Air Distribution Box Kit inside the Caravan. This box contains mounting hardware for the air conditioner and will be used inside the Caravan.

This completes the outside work. Minor adjustments can be done from the inside of the Caravan if required.

F.Installing The Air Conditioner

1.Remove air box and mounting hardware from car- ton. The upper duct is shipped inside the lower duct which is part of the ceiling template.

2.Check for correct alignment and adjust the unit as necessary (Roof Gasket centers over 362mm x 362mm (± 3.2mm).

4.Use two (2) sharp pointed #10 sheet metal screws to hold duct to base pan. Screw holes are provided in bottom of base pan for these screws.

5.Reach up into return air opening of the air conditioner and pull the unit's electrical cord down for later connection.

6.Measure the ceiling to roof thickness:

a.If distance is 25mm - 50mm, remove perforated tabs from both upper and lower ducts. See FIG. 11.

b.If distance is 50mm - 75mm, remove perforated tabs from bottom duct only. See FIG. 11.

c.If distance is 75mm - 100mm, install ducts as received. See FIG. 11.

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.EVENLYtighten 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.

!WARNING

Disconnect 220 - 240 Volt AC. Failure to follow these instructions could create a shock hazard causing death or severe personal injury.
