5.5. Place the AC Unit

• Carefully lift the outdoor mini split unit and place it onto the mounted brackets.
• Ensure the unit is centered and stable on the brackets.
• Secure the AC unit to the brackets using appropriate fasteners if your unit has provisions for this.

6. Maintenance

The JINJUNYE wall mounting bracket is constructed from thickened SPCC cold rolled steel with a rust-resistant powder coating, designed for long-term outdoor use and resistance to extreme weather.

• Periodic Inspection: Annually inspect the bracket for any signs of rust, corrosion, or damage. Check all bolted connections for tightness.
• Cleaning: If necessary, clean the bracket with a mild detergent and water. Avoid abrasive cleaners that could damage the powder coating.
• Drainage: Ensure the area beneath the AC unit and bracket remains clear of debris to allow for proper water drainage from the unit.

7. Troubleshooting

While the bracket is designed for robust performance, here are some common issues and their resolutions:

• Bracket Appears Loose: Re-check all expansion screws and bracket screws. Ensure they are tightened securely. If the wall material is compromised, professional repair may be necessary.
• Signs of Rust: Although designed to be rust-resistant, extreme conditions or surface damage can lead to rust. Clean affected areas and apply a rust-inhibiting paint if necessary to prevent further spread.
• Unit Not Level: Adjust the bracket installation points if possible, or use shims between the AC unit and the bracket to achieve a level position. Ensure the wall itself is plumb.
