• Do  not  position  where  the  discharge  air  could  blow
directly on the thermostat.
• The  unit  should  not  be  positioned  directly  above  any
obstruction.
• The unit must be installed square and level.
• The  condensate  drain  should  have  sufficient  downward
slope (1  in.  per  100  in.) in  any  horizontal  run  between
unit and drain.
Step 3 — Mount the Unit
INSTALLING  HANGER  BOLTS  (UNDER  CEILING
MOUNT) — Install the hanger bolts at the locations shown in
Fig.  6.  Use  3/8-in.  all-threaded  rod.  For  unit  weight  and
mounting dimensions, see Table 3.

MOUNTING  UNIT  (UNDER  CEILING  MOUNT)    —
The unit  can now  be  lifted on to the hanging rods for  under
ceiling mounting.
1. Use rods and fasteners for under ceiling mount to suspend
the hanging bracket.
2. Secure the hanging brackets in position with locknuts and
washers on both sides. Ensure the threaded rod does not
protrude more than 1 in. below the mounting hole on the
hanging bracket as shown in Fig. 7.

3. Remove the side board and grille from the unit as shown
in Fig. 8 (does not apply to unit size 048).

4. Slide the unit backwards onto the hanging bracket  until
the mounting hole on the unit lines up with the mounting
hole  on  the  hanging  bracket.  Secure  the  unit  using
mounting bolts as shown in Fig. 9.

IMPORTANT:  Be  sure  that  the  ceiling  grid  is
supported  separately  from  the  unit.  The  ceiling  grid
must  not  be  supported  by  an  part  of  the  unit  or  any
associated wiring or piping work.
