Select the Installation Location

  • Install the machine on the floor, as horizontally level as possible. 
  • Position the machine in a way that ensures easy access for both the installation and disassembly. 
  • Place the template used for assembly within the compartment intended for installation. Then, verify the available space for the needed openings in the floor. 
  • To easily replace the filter, maintain a distance of 8 inches (203 mm) from the front of the machine and the interior wall of the compartment. 
  • Avoid frequently opening doors and/or windows when not necessary. 
  • In order for the machine to properly provide uniform climate control in the vehicle, it should be installed as close to the center as possible, inside the housing/compartment. 
  • In order to minimize transmission of noise and/or vibration during operation, the machine must have a minimum clearance of 1 inch (25 mm) away from walls and fittings on either side. 
  • If incorporating any external compartments (such as false bottoms), the air that is to be treated must be drawn in from the vehicle's passenger compartment. 
  • Drawing in air from outside can negatively impact the performance of the system.
