STABILIZING UNIT ON UNEVEN SURFACES
To help stabilize an outdoor unit, some installations may
require strapping the unit to the pad using brackets and
anchors commonly available in the marketplace.
With unit positioned at installation site, remove two side
louvered panels to expose the unit base pan. Install the
brackets as illustrated in figure 14 using conventional
practices; replace the panels after installation is complete.
