5. Next, remove the four (4) screws holding the heater to the stand. Position heater out of the

way of the installation area.

the outside air opening in bottom of pedestal stand on to the pad.

the reference marks.

the holes in the bottom side lips of the pedestal stand as a guide. Be careful to drill only
through the pad and not into the floor. Change the bit to a 1/4" metal bit and drill through
the floor.

the floor of the mobile home.

LAG BOLTS.
