3.9 FACTORY-PREFERRED TIE-DOWN METHOD

Step 1: Prior to installing clear pad of debris.
IMPORTANT
Then cement pad must be made of HVAC-approved materials and must be the
proper thickness to accommodate fasteners.
Step 2: Center and level unit onto pad.
Step 3: Using L-shaped bracket (see Fig. 8, Detail B) to locate holes on concrete and drill
pilot holes which is at least 1/4" deeper than fastener being used.
IMPORTANT
Self drilling screws to base pan should not exceed 3/8" long to avoid damaging
coil.
Step 4: Using conventional practices to install brackets, tighten concrete fasteners and
self-tapping screws (See Fig.8).
NOTE: 1. One bracket for each side. For extra stability, 2 brackets for each side.
2. Do not over-tighten the concrete fastener to avoid weakening the concrete.
IMPORTANT NOTE:
These instructions are intended to provide a method to tie-down system to cement slab
as a securing procedure for high wind areas. It is recommended to check Local Codes
