INSTALLATION for 230/208v Models:
Follow the Installation Instruction with the Power
Supply Kit or Junction Box Kit to install junction box
and all unit wiring.
INSTALLATION for 265v Models:
The chaseway can be used several ways in
conjunction with the associated knockouts in the
junction box and sub-base to protect and conceal
wiring (cordsets/power supply kits and branch
circuit wiring).
1. Wiring is placed between the two halves of
the chaseway. Observe the orientation of the
chaseway.

Chaseway cover
5. Slide the upper end of chaseway with wiring
protruding into rectangular knockout opening
in the junction box. Be sure chaseway “ears”
are on the inside of the box. Drive one type A
screw through the junction box bottom into
the chaseway “ear” hole. Insert lower end of
chaseway into rectangular hole in sub-base
and slide to right into the rectangular knockout
making sure chaseway “ears” are inside the
sub-base. Route wire toward the center of the
sub-base. Fit junction box into place on chassis
and secure at top with original mounting screw.
Be sure the slot at the lower right rear corner of
the box engages the protruding flange from the
chassis. Drive one type A screw through the subbase slotted hole into chaseway “ear” hole.

2. Align the screw holes and secure the halves
together using two type A screws.
3. Remove the junction box and cover.
4. Remove the rectangular knockout at the bottom
of the junction box. Remove the rectangular
knockout at the right end of the sub-base.

6. Recheck to be sure the chaseway “ears” are
inside the junction box and the sub-base and that
no wiring is pinched.
7. Complete the connection of wiring inside the
sub-base either by fully inserting the plug into
the receptacle or attaching to the branch circuit
wiring or other field installed devices. Coil up any
excess wiring inside the sub-base.
8. Complete connections inside the junction box.
See the Installation Instructions in the Owner’s
Manual (pages 14-16) for chassis or junction box
kit for additional information.
9. Replace and secure all front covers. Do not pinch
any wires.
