STEP 1. WS sleeve should have been installed as specified in the Sleeve Installation Instructions. Remove
the front closure panel, support bracket, louvered metal grille, and back weather panel in the sleeve.
Should the air conditioner chassis be in the sleeve, remove the chassis and the louvered metal grille
using proper procedures.
STEP 2. Position a bracket on the left flange inside the WS sleeve, towards the back, such that the two slots
on the bracket line up with the holes on the sleeve flange (same holes used to mount the louvered
grille just removed). Mount with two screws provided. Repeat the procedure for the right side with
the second bracket by reversing the bracket. It may be necessary to initially leave the screws loose
to ensure that all hardware will line up with holes. See Figure 1.
