If the roof of the vehicle is sloped (not level) such that the air
conditioner cannot be mounted within the maximum allowable
degree deviations, an exterior leveling shim will need to be
added to make the air conditioner level. A typical front to
back leveling shim is shown in Figure 3.

V. SECURING THE AIR CONDITIONER TO THE ROOF
A mounting frame is supplied with the ceiling assembly.
Follow the steps below to secure the air conditioner to the
roof. Refer to Figure 4.
A.
Locate the air conditioner mount gasket over the 14"
to 15" square opening in the roof.
B.
Install the ceiling assembly mount frame using the
four bolts found with the ceiling assembly.
Once the air conditioner has been leveled, some
additional shimming may be required above the
interior ceiling assembly. The air conditioner and
the interior ceiling assembly must have a squared
installation relationship before they are secured
together.
D.
After the mounting hole is properly prepared, remove
the carton and shipping pads from around the air
conditioner. Carefully lift the unit to the top of the
vehicle. Do not use the outer plastic shroud for
lifting. Place the air conditioner over the prepared
mounting hole. The pointed end (nose) of the shroud
must face towards the front of the vehicle. Pull the
electrical conduit down from the air conditioner
through the mounting opening and let hang.
C.
Proper tension has been achieved for each bolt when
any portion of each gasket indicating tab has been
pulled down even with the roof. See Figure 4. The
upper unit has now been properly installed with
optimum gasket compression.
