6. Securely attach a siding-protection board to the
side of the house where the platform assembly hit
the house. The siding-protection board should be
long enough to span 2 wall studs. (See Figure 2-54)
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. (See Figure 2-55)
8. Clamp the plastic window panel between a board
and a work table, then cut along the line with a fine
tooth 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 hook ends of channels face toward the back of
unit.
10. Slide the plastic window panel into the panel frame
with the smooth side to the outside. Slide the panel
frame assembly into the side channels of the air
conditioner cabinet. Make sure the plastic window
panel is firmly enclosed on all sides by the retainer
grooves. (See Figure 2-56)
11. Cut side channel seal into 2 equal lengths. Remove
the protective backing and apply it to the rear side
of the cabinet side channels, starting just below the
panel frame assembly. Pinch off excess length so
the seal is even with the bottom of the cabinet side
channel. (See Figure 2-57)
