cover plate by tapping on the attachment points with a
flat head screwdriver and a hammer.

NOTICE
Precautions when making knockout holes:
▪ Avoid damaging the casing and underlying piping.
▪ After making the knockout holes, we recommend to
remove the burrs and paint the edges and areas
around the edges using repair paint to prevent rusting.
▪ When passing electrical wiring through the knockout
holes, wrap the wiring with protective tape to prevent
damage.

stop valves (f, see above) with sealing material to prevent
condensed water on the stop valves from moving to the indoor

NOTICE
Any exposed piping might cause condensation.
6 Reattach the service cover and the piping intake plate.
7 Seal all gaps (example: a) to prevent snow and small animals
from entering the system.
