Leveling Legs - Carrier 58GFA Installation, Starting-Up And Operation Manual

A bottom closure panel is factory installed in the bottom of the
furnace. When bottom return inlet is desired, remove and discard
the enclosure panel.
Filter retaining brackets, supports, and retainers are factory as-
sembled and shipped installed for side return application, with 1
set of all required hardware provided. (See Fig. 4.) For bottom
return applications, remove the brackets (front and back) and
supports from each side. The back bracket(s) are installed in the
rear of the furnace casing. Dimples are provided to mark mounting
screw locations.
The front bracket(s) are installed on the bottom front plate as
shown in Fig. 5, once the bottom enclosure has been removed.
Rotate filter supports 180° so filter will rest on support, and
reinstall. (Do not reinstall in 17-1/2 in. casing.) Install the filter
retaining rod (small U-shaped end) in the rear bracket, and the
front of the filter retainer rod as shown in Fig. 5. Two sets of
hardware are needed for furnaces in 24-1/2 in. casings using 1
filter for bottom return. All hardware is provided for filter
installation.
