4 INSTALLATION

4.1 Installation notes

The air conditioner must be installed on the vehicle using only the specific original assembly
kit. The manufacturer is not responsible for any damage resulting from the use of non-original
material for installation of the unit.
For installation of the air conditioner on the roof of the vehicle, strictly follow the instructions
provided in this manual. It is reiterated that installation of the unit must be carried out
exclusively by technically specialised personnel, and that this, during the operations, must
comply with all the safety regulations in force.
The installation must only be carried out with the engine off and with the cables disconnected.
We recommend that you wait at least one hour before switching the air conditioner on in
order to allow the refrigeration circuit to be completely efficient.

4.2 Preliminary operations

•
Before any operation on the air conditioner, check the size of the spacers to be used. The spacer
provided has a length of 53mm and a number of notches to indicate the various cutting sizes. If
the size indicated in the table is 53mm, use the spacer as it is, otherwise make the cuts necessary
to obtain the required size, as shown in the drawing below:
•
Check that mounting of the appliance does not result in the vehicle exceeding the maximum
height permitted by the highway code.
•
Check that the roof is adequately robust to support the appliance and the dynamic stresses to
which it is subjected when the vehicle is moving and/or when the cab is tipped.
•
The air conditioner can be installed on roofs with maximum inclinations of 30°
•
The side and rear vents must not be covered or obstructed in any way. Always maintain a
safety distance of at least 120mm from the other elements.
•
If there are spoilers on the roof, check that these do not interfere with positioning of the
appliance, otherwise it is necessary to create openings in the spoiler and/or modifications to
the support frame.
