DUse a wood block (obtained locally) between the leveling

bolts and the wall if the wall is weak or if the weight of the air conditioner falls between the studs in the wall.

Adjust the leveling

 

bolts and nuts against

 

the outside wall so

 

that the case has a

 

slight tilt to the outside.

 

Tighten nuts with an

 

adjustable wrench. Use

 

a level; no more than a

 

1/2 bubble will be the correct case slant to the

 

outside.
