Installation
Improper installation of the roof air conditioner can result in irreparable
damage to the device and put the safety of the user at risk.
WAECO assumes no liability for malfunctions and for the safety of the roof
air conditioner, especially for injury and/or damage to property, if the roof
air conditioner is not fitted in accordance with these installation
instructions.
There are two ways of installing the air conditioner:
Making a new opening (see chapter "Making a new opening" on
page 36). In this case the opening must be reinforced by an appropriate
frame.
Use of the existing roof hatch openings (ventilation hatch) in the vehicle
(see chapter "Installation in an existing sunroof opening" on page 37).
The roof air conditioner must be installed by qualified personnel of a
specialist company. All of the above points, in particular those concerning
structural engineering, must be clarified with the vehicle manufacturer.

Steps for installation

Check whether the roof of the vehicle is able to support your weight before
climbing onto it. Ask the vehicle manufacturer about the permitted roof
loads.
5.2.1 Making a new opening
Drill out the corners before sawing.
Use a reinforcement frame made of wooden battens.
Wear safety goggles and protective gloves when using power tools or
hand saws.
➤ Select an area at the centre on the roof between two longitudinal
supports.
➤ Use a felt pen to mark a square opening of 400 mm x 400 mm (see
fig. 5 on page 4).
➤ Carefully cut an opening on the roof using a keyhole saw or a similar
tool. Make sure no electrical power cables are damaged (see
fig. 6 on page 4).
