2. Extend the other side of the hose and screw it to the hose outlet (Fig.3).
3. Install the hose inlet into the unit (Fig.4).
4. Attach the hose outlet into the window slider kit and seal (Fig.5&6).

Window slider kit has been designed to fit most standard vertical and horizontal window applications. However, it may be necessary for you to modify some aspects of the installation procedures for certain types of windows. The Window slider kit can be fastened with screws.

NOTE: If the window opening is less than the minimum length of the window slider kit, cut on opposite side of the hole to fit the window opening. Never cut the hole on Window slider kit.

Operating Instructions

WINDOW SLIDER KIT INSTALLATION
