■The suspending installation uses field-fabricated ³⁄₈"-16 all- thread rod passing through the top panel and connected to the dehumidifier base.

■The ³⁄₈"-16 all-thread rod should be attached to the appropriate lengths of angle iron or equivalent structural steel which is attached to building structure capable of supporting the weight of the dehumidifier.

■If the dehumidifier is not suspended by ³⁄₈"-16 all-thread rod, use the grommet plugs to cover the holes in the grommets.
