5. Adjust the platform assembly so that the rear of
the AC will be 3/16" lower than the front. This ensures
proper water drainage from the AC.
NOTE:
A projection below the base of the AC
will require the rear of the platform to be
7/16" lower than the front to create the 3/16"
slant from front to rear.
6. Securely attach a siding-protection board to the
side of the house where the platform assembly hits the
house. The siding-protection board should be long
enough to span two wall studs.
7. Measure the height of the window opening
from the top of the platform assembly. Subtract
20-5/8". Mark this measurement on the plastic
window panel, along the longer side.
8. Clamp the plastic window panel between a
board and a work table, and cut along the cutting line
with a fine-toothed saw. Remove any burrs with a file.
9. Fasten the side channels to the sides of the
unit using three screws (Item 17) per channel. Make
sure the channel hook ends face towards the back of
the unit.
10. Slide the plastic window panel into the panel
frame with the smooth side towards the outside. Slide the
panel frame assembly into the side channels of the
AC cabinet. Make sure the plastic window panel is
firmly enclosed on all sides by the retainer
grooves. (continued)
