• The manufacturer assumes no liability for malfunctions and for the safety of the

A
NOTICE! Beware of damage
Observe the structural engineering of the vehicle and seal of all openings made when
installing the under-bench air conditioner.
Note on transport
• Always have someone help you carry the under-bench air conditioner.
• Always lift the under-bench air conditioner to move it and never drag it over the floor (fig. 2 A).
• Do not use the ventilation slots to lift it (fig. 2 B).
Note on installation location
• To install the machine it is necessary to create openings in the floor. These openings must be accessible and
must not be covered by any parts of the vehicle.
• Before installing the under-bench air conditioner, check whether any vehicle components could be damaged
by the installation of the under-bench air conditioner (such as lamps, cupboards, doors).
• Make sure no combustible objects are stored or installed near the air outlet. A distance of at least 50 cm should
be kept.
• The inclination of the installation surface may not exceed 10°.
• For safety reasons, note the location of existing wiring harnesses, wires and other components within the instal-
lation area, in particular those which are not visible, when installing the under-bench air conditioner (when drill-
ing or screwing etc.).
• To obtain the optimal air-conditioning in the vehicle, install the under-bench air conditioner in a central posi-
tion, in a compartment or a similar housing.
• Choose a place that is easily accessible for servicing as well as disassembling and installing.
• Place the assembly template into the chosen compartment and check the space available for the openings in
the floor.
• To minimize the transmission of noise and vibration during operation, the under-bench air conditioner should
have a all around minimum clearance of 30 mm to walls and furniture.
• The under-bench air conditioner must be installed on the floor.
• Keep a distance of 200 mm between the front of the under-bench air conditioner and the walls of the compart-
ment to facilitate filter replacement.
• Installing the under-bench air conditioner into an external compartment (e.g. false bottoms), the air to be
treated must be drawn in from the vehicle's passenger compartment.
• Suctioning of outside air can significantly reduce the power of the system.
