11. Caulk joints in wood frame as required. If wall thickness is
7" or more, add aluminum flashing over bottom of frame
opening to ensure no water can enter area between inner and
outer wall.

CAUTION
!
PERSONAL INJURY HAZARD
Failure to follow this caution may result in personal injury.
Be careful when handling chassis. Sharp edges on coil fins
can cause personal injury.
13. Slide the empty cabinet into the wall opening and into
wooden frame. Approximately 2- -1/2" of the cabinet should
be in the room. The rest of the cabinet should be positioned
through and outside the wall. (See Fig. 25.) Maintain proper
slope for condensate drain operation. Bottom rail should be
resting firmly on bottom board of wooden frame.
14. Secure bottom rail to wood frame with two large wood
screws (1" long) using the two holes in the bottom of the
channel. (See Fig. 26.)
15. There are screw holes in the cabinet (4 each side, 4 top)
which are used to secure the cabinet to the wooden frame.
With the cabinet in its final position, drill holes in the
wooden frame using the screw holes in the cabinet as a
guide. After the holes have been drilled, secure the cabinet
to the wooden frame using field- -supplied screws. See Fig.
27.
16. Caulk around wood frame and wall opening on outside wall
for a water- -tight seal.
17. Optional caulking between the cabinet and the wooden
frame may be done on inside wall. Caulking provides an air
seal around the cabinet. Decorative wood trim may be
added to provide a more pleasing appearance.
18. Lift chassis and carefully slide it into the cabinet. Be sure
that it is firmly seated towards the rear of the cabinet.

MASONRY CONSTRUCTION

The air conditioner is installed the same way as the Wall
Installation section with a few exceptions. Follow all local and
national building codes.
The cabinet can be secured to the masonry by using masonry nail
or masonry anchor screws.
Another installation technique would be to construct a frame of
2 x 4s and install the frame between the wall opening and the
cabinet. The frame must be securely anchored to the masonry wall
opening.
Use a lintel to support masonry above wall opening. Install exterior
cabinet support brackets.
