INSTALLA TION INSTRUCTION

BEFORE INSTALLATION

estrun the unit with proper power supply. Refer to the operation instruction section in the Owner’s Manual Operation & Installation. Make sure all the controls operate correctly then disconnect the power supply of the unit.

WARNING

Moving parts may cause personal injury. Be careful when test the unit. Do not operate the unit

with exterior cover removed.

STEP 1-SELECTING AN INSTALLATION LOCATION & INSTALLING THE ROOF TOP AIR CONDITIONER

Your air conditioner has been designed for use in recreational vehicles.

Check the roof of the vehicle to determine if it can support both the roof top unit and the ceiling assembly without additional support. Make sure the interior ceiling mounting area will not interfere with existing structures.

Once the location for your air conditioner has been determined.A reinforced and framed roof

hole opening must be cut (if there is no hole) or you may use existing vent holes.

CASE A.

If a roof vent is already present in the desired mounting location for the air conditioner, the following steps must be performed:

Remove all screws which secure the roof vent to the vehicle.Remove the vent and any additional trim. Carefully remove all chalking from around the opening so the surface is clear.

It may be necessary to seal some of the old roof vent mounting screw holes which may fall outside of the air conditioner basepan gasket.

Examine the roof opening size, if the opening is small than 14’’x14’’, the opening must be enlarged. If the opening exceeds 14’’x14’’, a mounting plate (frame) must be fabricated to reduce the opening size (See Figure 1).

● Before installation, please do remove the auxiliary

sponge.

Before installation, please do remove these auxiliary sponges

Figure 1

If a roof vent opening is not used,a new opening(see figure 1)will be cut into the vehicl roof. A matching opening will also have to be cut into the interior vehicle ceiling,be careful when cutting the ceiling opening because if the ceiling opening is carpeted,snagging could occur. After the opening in the roof and interior ceiling are the correct size,a framed support structure must be placed between the exterior roof top and interior ceiling.The reinforced framed structure must follow the follwing guidelines:

1. It must be capable of supporting both the

weight of the roof top air conditioner and the interior ceiling assembly.

There must be an opening through the frame for the power supply wiring.Route the supply wiring through the frame at the same time the support frame is being installed.

It must be capable of holding the roof outer surface and interior ceiling apart and supporting them, so that when the roof top air conditioner and ceiling assembly are bolted together,no collapsing occurs. A

typical support frame is shown in Figure 1.

CAUTION

2. The roof top air conditioner must be mounted on a level plane from front to rear and side to

side when the vehicle is parked on a level plane. Figure 3 shows maximum allowable degrees that the unit can be mounted above or below level.

3. If the roof of the vehicle is sloped (not level) such that the roof top air conditioner cannot be

mounted within the maximum allowable degree specifications, an exterior leveling shim will need to be added to make the unit level. A typical leveling shim is shown in Figure 4.

Once the roof top air conditioner has been leveled, some additional shimming may be required above the interior ceiling assembly. The roof top air conditioner and the interior ceiling assembly must be square with each other before they are secured together.

5. After the mounting hole area is properly prepared, remove the carton and shipping pads from

around the roof top air conditioner. Carefully lift the unit on top of the vehicle. Do not use the outer plastic shroud for lifting. Place the roof top air conditioner over the prepared mounting hole.

6. The point end (nose) of the shroud must face toward the front of the vehicle.

Gasket is standard accessory which should be properly sticked before installation of the roof top air conditioner (See Figure 2).

STEP 2-INSTALLING THE CEILING ASSEMBLY

Make sure that you have properly matched the roof top air conditioner and interior ceiling assembly.The following step by step instructions must be performed in the following sequence to ensure proper installation.

Remove the ceiling grille from the ceiling assembly.

Before lifting the ceiling assembly, pull the fabric duct collar so it hangs out of the way and does not get caught under the ceiling assembly frame.
