Step 1
Determine the orientation of the door.
The VPRG4/VPRG4R Kit comes with two mounting hinges. For VPRG4, one of the hinges mounts to the left side of the opening and locates the return air openings at the lower portion of the door (View A).
The other mounts the hinge to the right side of the opening and locates the return air openings at the upper portion of the door (View B).
This provides an option for the direction that the door will open. In some cases, it can aid in sound attenuation by locating the return air openings away from the evaporator opening on the unit.
Follow STEPS 2A through 6A (next page) for left side mounting (View A)
Follow STEPS 2B through 6B (next page) for right side mounting (View B).
