carton.
This unit weighs approximately 100 pounds.
To prevent back injury, use a mechanical hoist
to place unit on roof.
B. Place the unit on the roof.
C. Lift and place the unit over the prepared opening
using the gasket as a guide. The condenser coil
goes toward the rear of the RV. See FIG. 5.
FIG. 5
Do not slide the unit. This may damage the
neoprene gasket attached to the bottom and
create a leaky installation.
D. Place the 3107211 Air Box Kit inside the RV. This
box contains mounting hardware for the unit and
will be used inside the RV. This completes the
outside work. Minor adjustments can be done from
the inside if required.
5. DISCHARGE DUCT AND CEILING
TEMPLATE INSTALLATION
A. Remove air box and mounting hardware from
carton. The upper duct is shipped inside the lower
duct which is part of the ceiling template.
1. Remove upper duct from ceiling template and
locate it over blower discharge.
Note: Edges without fl anges install toward REAR and SIDE
of opening. See FIG. 6.
2. Use two (2) #10 x 3/8" screws to hold duct to

FIG. 7
Measure Ceil-
ing Thickness
D. Measure (See FIG. 7) the ceiling to roof thick-
ness:
1. If distance is 1"-2", remove perforated tabs
from both upper and lower ducts.
2. If distance is 2"-3", remove perforated tabs
from bottom duct only.
3. If distance is 3"-4", install ducts as received.
4. If distance is 4"- 6", use optional duct adaptor,
Part No. 3106775.004 and Bolt Kit, Part No.
3100895.006.
E. Install ceiling template by sliding lower duct over
upper duct.
F. Start each mounting bolt by hand before tightening
any of them. The four (4) threaded inserts in the
base pan can be seen to aid in starting the bolts.
See FIG. 7.
EVENLY TIGHTEN MOUNTING BOLTS TO A
TORQUE OF 40 TO 50 INCH POUNDS.
This will compress the roof gasket to approximately
1/2". The bolts are self locking so over tightening
is not necessary.
If bolts are left loose there may not be an ad-
equate roof seal or if over tightened, damage
may occur to the Unit base or ceiling template.
Tighten to torque specifi cations listed in this
manual.
