3-12. Make a Hole
(1) Place the rear panel from the indoor unit on the wall at the
location selected. Make sure the panel is horizontal, using
a carpenter’s level or tape measure to measure down from
the ceiling. Wait until after cutting the hole before attaching
the rear panel to the wall.
(2) Determine which side of the unit you should make the hole
for tubing and wiring. (Fig. 3-34)

NOTE
In the case of left-rear tubing, use the measurement points from
the edge of the rear panel for precise placement of the hose
outlet. (Fig. 3-34)
(3) Before making the hole, check carefully that no studs or
pipes are directly run behind the spot to be cut.
CAUTION
Also avoid areas where electrical wiring or conduits are
located.
The above precautions are also applicable if tubing goes
through the wall in any other location.
(4) Using a sabre saw, key hole saw or hole-cutting drill
attachment, cut a hole in the wall. (Fig. 3-35)
Fig. 3-35
NOTE
Hole should be made at a slight downward slant to the outdoor
side.
