6. Attach side mounting angles to the sides of
the cabinet by using 4 hex-head sheet metal
screws. Insert bottom screws first. Be sure
flange of each side mounting angle faces
inside. Now attach top mounting angle to
cabinet by using 3 hex-head sheet metal
screws. Again, be sure tallest flange is facing
inside.
7. Measure and cut filler board to proper sizes.
First, measure the distance from inside one
window channel to the inside of the other
channel and subtract l/4". Now subtract the
width of the air conditioner and divide by 2.
This will give you the width to cut each filler
board. Be sure to cut the filler board across
the mid-section of its longest measurement.
Because the filler boards will be equal in
width, they will automatically center your air
conditioner in the window.
8. Apply seal strips and attach filler boards.
Determine which will be your left and right filler
boards. The holes on each board should align
with the holes in the side mounting angles.
Each filler board should also extend about l/2"
above the top edge of the air conditioner
cabinet. Now apply 3/a"-wide seal strips on
the room side of each filler board along the
bottom and window channel edges. Now
attach the filler boards to the side mounting
angles with 4 round-headed sheet metal
screws. Tighten the screws only loosely, so
the filler boards can be moved back and forth.
9. Insert side mounting slides all the way into
the top mounting channel.
