STABILIZING UNIT ON UNEVEN SURFACES
To help stabilize an outdoor unit, some installations may
require strapping the unit to the pad using brackets and
anchors commonly available in the marketplace.
With unit positioned at installation site, remove two side
louvered panels to expose the unit base pan. Install the
brackets as illustrated in figure 12 using conventional
practices; replace the panels after installation is complete.

CAUTION
To prevent personal injury, or damage to panels,
unit or structure, be sure to observe the following:
While installing or servicing this unit, carefully stow
all removed panels out of the way, so that the panels
will not cause injury to personnel, nor cause
damage to objects or structures nearby, nor will the
panels be subjected to damage (e.g., being bent or
scratched).
While handling or stowing the panels, consider any
weather conditions, especially windy conditions,
that may cause panels to be blown around and
battered.
INSTALLING ISOLATION GROMMETS
Locate the isolation grommets (provided). Slide grommets
onto suction and liquid lines. Insert grommets into mullion
to isolate refrigerant lines from sheet metal edges.
REMOVING PANELS
Remove the louvered panels as follows:
1. Remove two screws, allowing the panel to swing open
slightly as illustrated in figure 14.
NOTE − Hold the panel firmly throughout this procedure
2. Rotate bottom corner of panel away from hinge corner
post until lower three tabs clear the slots as illustrated
in figure 14, detail B.
3. Move panel down until lip of upper tab clears the top
slot in corner post as illustrated in figure 14, detail A.
