PANELS
ACCESS AND LOUVERED
WARNING
To prevent personal injury, or damage to panels, unit or structure, be sure to ob-
serve 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., be-
ing 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.
IMPORTANT Do not allow panels to hang on unit by top tab. Tab is for align-
ment and not designed to support weight of panel.

LOUVERED PANEL REMOVAL
Remove the louvered panels as follows:
1. Remove two screws, allowing the panel to swing open slightly.
2. Hold the panel firmly throughout this procedure. Rotate bottom corner of panel
away from hinged corner post until lower three tabs clear the slots as illustrated
in Detail B.
3. Move panel down until lip of upper tab clears the top slot in corner post as illus-
trated in Detail A.
LOUVERED PANEL INSTALLATION
Position the panel almost parallel with the unit as illustrated in Detail D with the screw
side as close to the unit as possible. Then, in a continuous motion:
1. Slightly rotate and guide the lip of top tab inward as illustrated in Detail A and C;
then upward into the top slot of the hinge corner post.
2. Rotate panel to vertical to fully engage all tabs.
3. Holding the panel's hinged side firmly in place, close the right−hand side of the
panel, aligning the screw holes.
4. When panel is correctly positioned and aligned, insert the screws and tighten.
