INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

Panasonic Universal Wind Shield (Baffle) Part Number: WINDB-1A

CONTENTS INCLUDED: 2 side panels, 1 top or outer panel, 6 sheet metal screws, 6 washers, 6 spacers, 8 screws, 8

Locknuts & 8 shoulder spacers.

GENERAL: This wind shield is sized so it will fit onto all Panasonic outdoor mini splits and the mini-ECOi models. It is

made to be placed on the fan discharge side of the unit. See Fig. 1 below. One Wind Shield will be used for 9,000 to
36,000 BTU outdoor units while 42,000 BTU and larger outdoor units require two shields.

INSTALLATION PROCEDURES:

Remove all the protective film on the clear parts. Shift the wind shield left/right and or up/down as needed.
BEFORE DRILLING OR SCREWING INTO THE UNIT, MAKE SURE THERE WILL BE NO CONTACT WITH REFRIGERANT
TUBING OR ELECTRICAL WIRES. CHECK FOR CLEARANCE.

If there is a need to cut or drill any of the clear parts you must follow these instructions.
To cut the outer or top panel, do not remove the protective covering. Mark a line and cut using a fine metal cutting
blade on a Jig or reciprocating saw, (Do not use a circular saw). Use a file or 120 grit sand paper to smooth the cut
edges. To drill holes for the outer or top panel to mount to the side piece, (Fig 2) use a ¼ in drill bit for each hole. If
there is a need to relocate the mounting hole to the unit, (Fig 3) use a 5/16 in drill bit to drill the side piece. Check the
fit with the Nylon Spacer(Fig 3) and if it will not fit loosely then the hole can be slightly reamed with the drill bit.
Note: Drill bits must be a metal drilling bit, not a spade or other type.
