PARTS LIST & INSTALLATION

INSTALLATION

INSTALLING THE UNIT IN A SLIDING WINDOW

1. Attach support brace to platform as shown.

Use adjustment bolt and hex flange nut to complete

assembly. Choose slot and adjustment bolt hole

locations that will create a 45 degree angle between

platform and support brace. Try assembly in the

window to determine if platform will rest properly, and

allow proper slope (3/16-inch lower on outside).

NOTE: If you are planning to use a siding protection

board (see Step 5) on the outside of your

house, hold board in place when testing assembly in

window.

2. Measure, and lightly mark a line 8-11/16 inches

from window jamb.

NOTE: If any sash stop protrudes more than 1

inch from the side window jambs, the 8-11/16-inch

measurement must be increased accordingly.

Screen and storm window frames may also require

adjustments to the measurement.

3. Center platform assembly on the line with inside

platform tab pressed against inside edge of window

track. Using the holes in the platform as a guide,

mark and drill two 9/64-inch diameter holes. Drill

holes in either track or stool.

CAUTION

Property Damage Hazard—Failure to adhere to the following precautions could result in damage to window or the air conditioner. Make sure the wood stool or window track is securely attached to the building construction. Use longer screws in sub-framing if necessary.
