• Use tie beams (single storied houses) or second fl oor beams (two story houses)
as reinforcing members.
• Wooden beams for suspending air conditioners must be sturdy and their sides
must be at least 2-3/8 in. (6 cm) long if the beams are separated by not more
than 35-7/16 in. (90 cm) and their sides must be at least 3-9/16 in. (9 cm) long if
the beams are separated by as much as 70-7/8 in. (180 cm). The size of the sus-
pension bolts should be 3/8" (ø10). (The bolts do not come with the unit.)
• Use channel, duct and other parts procured locally to suspend the indoor unit.

Procure 3/8" bolts or M10 bolts locally.
• Adjust the length of the bolt's protrusion from the ceiling surface beforehand.
*1. When using an extra upper nut in suspending the unit, in some cases you
may have to add it later.
Check the pitch of the suspension bolt. (13-1/2 in. × 32 in. (340 mm × 811 mm)) (Fig.

2. Lift the unit into place, aligned properly with the suspension bolt. Pass the brack-
et between washers
the same in all four places.
* Make sure the suspension bolt extends 3/4 in. (20 mm) or more from the
surface of the ceiling. Otherwise you will not be able to install the cover
panel (sold separately).
3. If the long opening in the bracket and opening in the ceiling do not align, adjust
them until they do.
4. Check that the 4 corners are all level, using a spirit level or clear plastic tubing
with water in it.
* Make sure that any slant in the unit after installation is less than 0.5 degrees
in. (mm)
(approx. 1/4 in. (6 mm) on the long dimension of the unit).
5. Tighten all the nuts. (Fig. 2-7)
