Make a Hole (1) Place the rear panel from the indoor unit on the wall at the location selected. Make sure the panel is horizontal, using a carpenter's level or tape measure to measure down from the ceiling. Wait until after cutting the hole before attaching the rear panel to the wall. (2) Determine which side of the unit you should make the hole for tubing and wiring. (Fig. 1-149) NOTE In the case of left-rear tubing, use the measurement points 158 mm from the marked position on the rear panel for precise placement of the hose outlet. (Fig. 1-149) (3) Before making the hole, check carefully that no studs or pipes are directly run behind the spot to be cut. CAUTION Also avoid areas where electrical wiring or conduits are located. The above precautions are also applicable if tubing goes through the wall in any other location. 1.
