IT IS NOT INTENDED TO ENABLE SOME- ONE UNFAMILIAR WITH MANUFACTURED HOME INSTALLATION TO PERFORM THE INSTALLATION. SET-UP SHOULD BE DONE ONLY BY QUALIFIED PEOPLE. WHOEVER DOES THE SET-UP SHOULD GUARAN- TEE THEIR WORK IN WRITING FOR A REASONABLE TIME AND SHOULD, IF NECESSARY, AGREE TO RELE- VEL THE HOME WITHIN 90 DAYS AFTER THE INITIAL SET-UP. Chapter 1 INTRODUCTION PROTECTIVE WINDOW COVERINGS (Continued) PLEASE READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS PRIOR TO SET-UP! This Skyline home was engineered, constructed and inspected for conformance to the Federal Manufactured Home Construction and Safety Standards in effect on the date of manufacture. This National Standard sets forth comprehensive requirements for design construction, fire safety, plumbing, heating systems and electrical systems for manufactured homes designed to be used as dwellings. This manual contains detailed installation instructions, includ- ing specifications and procedures for erection and hookup of your manufactured home. It has been written in an objective and easy - to -understand manner so it can be understood by people without extensive technical training. It discusses the set-up of the home from preparing the site through final inspection. It includes many tables and figures giving important data for proper set-up. Careful adher- ence to this manual by the homeowner and installation crew, and consultation with a registered professional or structural engineer in those unusual circumstances it does not cover, will assure you of a quality, safe and affordable home for many years to come. Prior to locating or relocating your home, contact the lo- cal authority having jurisdiction for installation to see if permits for such procedures as blocking, anchoring, or utility connections are required. Inspections may be required during installation. On private property, zoning or development covenants may apply and should be taken into consideration. NOTE: Preparations of the site when accomplished by others than the home installer, may not be in accordance with these instructions. THE IMPORTANCE OF CORRECT SET-UP CANNOT BE OVEREMPHASIZED. Correct set-up is absolutely essential to ho- meowner satisfaction. If you are not absolutely certain of the proper procedure or you encounter unusual conditions, please contact your factory service representative. THE INSTRUCTIONS CONTAINED HEREIN ARE MINI- MUM REQUIREMENTS. APPLICABLE LOCAL OR STATE LAW MAY HAVE OTHER OR GREATER REQUIREMENTS WHICH MUST BE COMPLIED WITH TO OBTAIN OR REGAIN THE RIGHT TO OCCUPY THE HOME. APPROVED PFS Corporation Madison WI 01 /06/06 HUD Manufactured Home Construction & Safety Standard The recommended procedures contained in this manual are in- tended to assist in proper installation of this home. Field experience may justify alternate acceptable procedures which, when completed, result in performance at least equal to that which will result from conformance to the details and specifications herein. For example, on double wide installation you may find it advantageous, due to lo- cal conditions, to bolt the floors together prior to-bolting-roafhalves together, or vice versa. Either method is acceptable as long as the bolting schedule is adhered to. NOTE: A MANUFACTURED HOME SET UP IN THE WRONG STRUCTURAL ZONE DOES NOT MEET THE REQUIREMENTS OF THE FEDERAL MANUFACTURED HOME CONSTRUCTION AND SAFETY STANDARDS. BEFORE COMMENCING SET-UP, SEE CONSTRUCTION INFORMATION, LOCATED IN THE MASTER BEDROOM CLOSET OR AT THE ELECTRICAL DISTRIBUTION PAN- ELBOARD, FOR DESIGNATION OF ZONE FOR WHICH THE HOME WAS CONSTRUCTED. SPECIAL CONSTRUCTION SUCH AS EXPANDO UNITS, TRIPLE WIDE UNITS, AND PERIMETER BLOCKED UNITS WILL BE COVERED IN SUPPLEMENTS TO THIS. MANUAL. CONTACT YOUR FACTORY OR DEALER IF THIS HOME HAS ANY SUCH FEATURES AND YOU DO NOT HAVE THE APPLICABLE SUPPLEMENTS. WARNING: ONLY TRAINED CREWS SHOULD INSTALL THE HOME. INSTALLERS SHOULD FOLLOW THE SAFE- TY INSTRUCTIONS PROVIDED IN THIS MANUAL. THIS HOME WEIGHS SEVERAL TONS USE ENOUGH TEMPORARY WOOD BLOCKING TO SUP- PORT THE HOME DURING SET-UP. No one should be allowed under the home unless it is securely in place, even if it is not moving. a STA The technical content of the Installation Manual has been reviewed by PFS Corporation and found to be in accordance with the Federal Manufactured Home Construction and Safety Standards. Protective coverings may also be installed over doors and sliding glass doors in a different manner than described previously. First, remove the mounting screws holding the door frame to the exterior wall. Then place the plywood (or wood frame) from Table 8 over the door opening and fasten the plywood and door frame back into the wall studs through the same holes in the door frame. Use #8 x 3" wood screws 12" o.c. for doors. Use #8 x 4" wood screws 6" o.c. for sliding glass doors. See Figure 8-6 for a typical application of this type of protective covering.

Wall Studs SECTION B-B Due to the limited time between when a storm warning is issued and when the storm could hit at your location, Skyline recom- monds that the items necessary for the protective coverings be purchased and prepared before a storm warning is issued. Cut plywood to size and mark it relative to window/door location. Store plywood and fasteners together in a dry place where it will be accessible. Once the protective coverings have been installed, the home should not be occupied. 4 61 PROTECTIVE WINDOW COVERINGS (Continued) Chapter 2 500 AIRPORT -DR. MANSFIEtD—TEXAS 76063— -- — -- (817)473-4421 Installation of Protective Covering as required by H.U.D. for Zone II and III The following pages illustrate the application of an exterior window protection in the event of storms (such as hurricanes) as required by HUD. Please note: Installation of protective coverings (such as those listed below) will negate egress of the window. Homes with protective coverings (such as those listed below) cannot be occupied while the coverings are in place. Parts required: 1. 3/4" plywood — enough for each window in the home. 2. #8 x 1 1/4" OR 1 1/2" wood screws (see below for quantity). The installation steps apply to both the vertical and horizontal sides of windows. The size of the window will affect the number of fasteners needed. For windows with a face measurement of 30" wide x 30" high (or any smaller size), install 3 fasteners, spaced eight (8) to twelve (12) inches apart on the head and on the sill. Install four (4) fasteners, spaced eight (8) to twelve (12) inches apart on both the left and right frame sides. For windows larger than 30" x 30" with 46" x 60" being the maximum size, add one fastener to each side for each additional eight (8) to twelve (12) inches in width and height. To determine the plywood size, (use 3/4" thick plywood) measure the width and height of the return fin (edge to edge). Position plywood over the window. With plywood supported, drive one fastener through the plywood and window nailing fin near center of window sill. Repeat this procedure for the other required sill fasteners. With covering attached at sill, continue driving fasteners around perimeter of the plywood using the above spacing formula. After the storm has passed, reverse the above procedure to remove the covering. Store materials for future use. Be sure to fill all holes left by the removal of the screws with a suitable silicone type sealant. Material should have a long life rating. This will prevent water and air from entering the home.

EXCESSIVE MOISTURE UNDER THE HOME CAN CAUSE UNNECESSARY DETERIORATION, AND CAUSE CONDEN- SATION PROBLEMS, WHICH COULD AFFECT THE HOME'S WARRANTY. IT COULD ALSO AFFECT THE STABILITY OF THE FOOTINGS AND PIERS WHICH SUPPORT THE HOME. If the home is to be perimeter skirted or "pit -set," ventilation of the under -floor area is required to minimize the effect of moisture under the home. Ventilation openings must be provided in the under -floor enclosure or skirting on at least three (3) sides (pref- erable on all sides) with a net area of at least one square foot per After completion of grading and filling (if necessary), the bearing capacity of the soil at the depth of the footings should be determined. A pocket penetrometer (avail- able from engineering supply houses) or other method acceptable to local jurisdictions may be used. If the soil cannot be tested but can be identified, use the foundation bearing pressures shown in Figure 3-1 as a guide. If the soil cannot be identified, use the lowest value, 1,000 PSF. Under unusual conditions, or if the soil appears to be peat or uncompacted soil, consult a local geologist or profes- sional engineer for aid.

Therefore, it is required that windows and doors located within 3 feet of any corner be designed to withstand these higher pressures. Figure 8-3 shows the typical locations of the corners. Table 8 has separate columns indicating the plywood requirements for standard wall area and wall area that is within 3 feet of a corner. After the windstorm is over and the plywood has been removed, all holes made by the screws in the 2 x 4s should be filled 8 with a weather -resistant caulk. 57 CHAPTER 8 CHAPTER 4 PROTECTIVE WINDOW COVERINGS If your home is destined to be set in Wind Zones II or III, then it has been designed to install protective window and door cov- erings, in the event of a windstorm. Two different types of protective coverings are available. Your home may have either, or both The first type of protective window covering is to attach plywood to a 2 x 4 member that has been installed around window and door openings. The plywood is attached to the 2 x 4 members with #8 wood screws. The type of plywood, screw length, and screw spacing will vary with the window or door size. See Table 8 for these requirements. Note that the window sizes listed in Table 8 are the small dimension of the window or door (See Figure 8-1). Large openings (such as sliding glass doors) are required to be covered with a plywood and lumber frame assembly.

Set-up procedures and minimum thickness of available caps or concrete blocks, methods for securing the home to its foundation are discussed dimension lumber may be used under the caps. in Chapter 5. A home that is certified for a higher roof load zone than the area that it is installed,_ may_ be set on a foundation system that is designed for the roof load zone for that area of the country. For example, a home that is certified to withstand a 30 PSF roof load is installed in a 20 PSF roof load zone area. The support under the home need only be designed for the 20 PSF roof load, in accordance with the requirements set forth in this manual. PIERS Importance. Incorrect size, location or spacing of piers may cause serious structural damage to the home. It is important to install piers around the perimeter if required for the home. Failure to do so may lead to sagging floors, walls and roofs. Acceptable Types. Piers may be concrete blocks or pressure treated wood, capped and shimmed with wedges, or adjust- able manufactured metal or concrete devices (see Figure 4-2). Manufactured piers should be listed and labeled for the ` required load capacity. DESIGN REQUIREMENTS Load -Bearing Capacity. The load that each pier must carry depends on factors such as the dimensions of the home, the roof live load, the spacing of the piers, and the way they are used to support the home. Center beam/marriage wall blocking is required for rnultisection homes. See tables 1 and 2 for pier capacities. Manufactured piers must be rated to at least these capacities, and locally con- structed piers must be designed to transmit these loads safely. Configuration. Figure 4-2 shows the recommended arrange- ment of concrete piers constructed on -site. Concrete blocks should have nominal dimensions of at least 8" x 16". They must be stacked with their hollow cells aligned vertically. When piers are constructed of blocks stacked side -by -side, every layer should be at right angles to the previous one (See Figure 4-2). Itap hollow block piers as shown in Figure 4-2 to distribute the structural load evenly across them. Caps may be of solid masonry or hard wood, and of the same length and width as the piers they rest upon. Avoid plywood, as it may lead to unwanted settling or movement. Use 4" x 6" hardwood shims (wedges to level the home and fill any gaps between the base of the I-beam and the top of the pier cap. Always use shims in pairs (See Figure 4-2). Drive them in tightly so they do not occupy more than 1" of vertical Select manufactured pier heights so that their adjustable risers do not extend more than recommended by the -manufacture r-when-fi nally-positioned, -- - - - - — All piers must rest on footings that either extend below the frost line or are otherwise protected from frost effects, and are placed on either undisturbed soil or compacted fill. DESIGN PROCEDURES Piers Less Than 36" High. Construct piers less than 36" high out of single, open or closed -cell concrete blocks, 8" x 8" x 16". Install them so that the long side is at right angles to the supported I-beam (See Figure 4-2). Position open cells verti- cally upon the footers. (See Figure 4-1). Horizontal offsets should not exceed 1/2" top to bottom. Mortar is not normally required. Manufactured piers should be listed and labeled. Do not extend their adjusting studs beyond the limits specified by the manufacturer. Piers 36" to 80" High. Construct all piers between 36" and 80" high, and all corner piers over three (3) blocks high, out of double, interlocked concrete blocks (See Figure 4-2). Mortar will not normally be required. Piers Over 80" High. Where permitted by local codes, lay them in concrete mortar with steel reinforcing bars inserted in the block cells and fill the cells with concrete. Where such construction is not permitted by local codes, have piers over 80" high designed by a registered professional or structural engineer. Location and Spacing. The location and spacing of piers depend upon the dimensions and weight of the home, the roof load zone, size, and type of construction of the footings. Other factors such as the location of doors or other openings and heavy pieces of furniture are also important. In general locate piers no more than 2' from either end, and not over 10' O.C. Single -Section Homes. Figure 5-2 shows the recommended locations and spacing of piers for single -section homes. Multi -Section Homes. Figure 5-3 shows the recommended location and spacing of piers for multi -section homes. Under Doors and Heavy Furniture. Place additional piers on both sides of exterior doors, side -wall openings wider than 4' (such as sliding glass doors), at Pavilion dormers, under porch posts, wood stoves, and under the expected locations of heavy pieces of furniture such as pianos, organs, waterbeds, etc. 9 FOUNDATION AND SUPPORT REQUIREMENTS (Continued) UTILITY SYSTEM CONNECTION AND TESTING (Continued) DESIGN PROCEDURES (Continued) Footings. Support every pier with a properly designed footing, as follows. ACCEPTABLE TYPES OF FOOTINGS. Concrete. Footings may consist -of -precast -or poured=in=place concrete, pads, slabs, or ribbons with a 28-day compressive strength at 3,000 psi. Pressure -Treated Permanent Wood. Two layers of 2" thick pressure -treated wood planks, with the long dimension of the second layer placed perpendicular to that of the first, fastened with cut edges painted or retreated, may also be used. Other Materials. You may also use other materials approved for this use by local authorities if they provide equal loadbear- ing capacity and resistance to decay. PLACEMENT IN FREEZING CLIMATES. Conventional Footings. For frost -susceptible soils, the most cost effective method of preventing the harmful effects of ground frost heave is usually by placing the footing below the frost line. Consult local authorities to determine frost penetra- tion. In the absence of a local code, use the frost penetration map as a guide. Existing manufactured home communities may be located on frost -susceptible soils in which homes historically have been installed on piers or slabs located above the frost line. For these communities, if there is a history of these homes not experiencing any deleterious effects from frost -heave and the homes are setup, supported and skirted as described herein, then footings are not required to extend below the frost line. Floating Slab System. When properly engineered by a reg- istered professional engineer, compatible with the anchorage requirements of Chapter 5, and acceptable to the local author- ity having jurisdiction, a "floating slab system" may be used above the frost line. Insulated Foundations. Footings may also be placed above the frost line when the home is provided with a perimeter foundation or skirting having insulation properties sufficient to prevent freezing of the soil under or adjacent to every load - bearing component of the foundation and acceptable for this purpose by the local authority having jurisdiction. Useful design guidelines may be found in references at the end of this chapter. Insulation systems should be compatible with the re- quirement to cross ventilate the entire space under the home. Proper Sizing of Footings. Proper sizing of footings depends upon the load -carrying capacity of both the piers and the soil. See Table 4 for recommended footing sizes. See Table 4B for minimum required concrete footing thickness. Footing size in no case shall be less than 144 sq. in. or smaller than the pier it supports. Permanent Foundations. Check local building codes and 10 regulations and consult a registered professional or structural engineer when you are setting your home on a permanent foundation (such as a full basement, crawl space or load -bear- ing perimeter foundation). A permanent foundation design, which meets most local codes, may be available from Skyline Corporation. Please contact the Skyline division which manu- factured the home or Skyline's National Director of Consumer Relations. - Flood -Prone Areas. Skyline Corporation does not recommend locating homes in river or coastal flood -prone areas. Special elevation and anchoring techniques are required when locating in a flood -prone area. Consult a registered professional or structural engineer to make sure that the home design and construction conform to applicable federal, state and local codes and regulations. The FEMA publication listed below contains design and construction recommendations. Severe Wind Areas. Special foundation and anchoring tech- niques are required when locating in a severe wind area. Consult a registered professional or structural engineer. The HUD foundations design guide referenced herein contains recommendations for designing foundations and anchoring systems. Do not place your home in a wind zone more severe than the one indicated on the data plate located by your home's main electrical panel. Special Snow Load Conditions. Homes designed for and located in heavy snowfall areas or subject to other extreme loading conditions may require special piers or footings. See tables and/or special manufacturer's instructions provided with your home.

The footing sizes and pier loads are minimum required for the applicable conditions. The footing shall not be smaller than the pier it supports of 144 square inches. 2. The maximum spacing of supports is not to exceed 10 feet. 3. Where it is impractical to maintain spacing, such as in the axle area, the average of the distance to each adjacent support may be used to determine support requirements. For example: if the distances to the adjacent supports were 6'-0" and 8'-0", the average spacing would be 7'-0". SCOW T •.

Con- sult with the proper authorities prior to utility connection. Use only qualified service personnel, familiar with local codes and licensed where required. The drainage and water systems were tested for leaks prior to shipment from the factory. It is essential that they be rechecked by qualified personnel for leaks that may have been caused=by-vibration=during-transportation WATER The water system has been designed for an inlet water pres- sure of 80 psi. If the manufactured home is installed in areas where the water pressure exceeds 80 psi, a pressure reducing valve should be installed. The water system may be connect- ed to any safe, potable water source. The connection is via a single 3/4 inch inlet beneath the home. A master shut-off full flow valve must be installed in the water supply line adjacent to the home; this -valve should be a full port gate or ball valve with threaded or solder joints. After removing the aerators from all the faucets, open all the faucet valves and allow the water to run for 15 minutes. This should remove any foreign particles left in the line that might cause an unpleasant taste or become lodged at faucet washers and cause dripping faucets. All ex- posed water piping subject to freezing should be protected by insulation and electric heat tapes (with an integral thermostat) listed for use with manufactured homes. It is recommended that only UL listed heat tapes be used and installed in accor- dance with their installation instructions. DRAINAGE — CONNECTION The drainage connection is made at the 3-inch main drain outlet. Care should be exercised to slope and support the drain line from the home to the site sewage system (1/4" per foot slope). The average spacing for pier B would be 6 + 8 / 2 = 7 ft., therefore pier B would be designed for 7 ft. pier s acin DANGER: IMPROPER OR INADEQUATE TESTING, CON- NECTION OR MODIFICATION OF ANY PART OF GAS OR 4. Concentrated loads at marriage line (see Table 3). ELECTRICAL SYSTEMS, ESPECIALLY BY UNQUALIFIEDPERSONNEL, MAY BE EXTREMELY DANGEROUS AND MAY RESULT IN SERIOUS PERSONAL INJURY OR DEATH. 5. The last line in the above Table is the weight per foot each main I-beam is carrying. Multiply this number by the span a pier is carrying to determine the required capacity of that pier. GAS — The gas piping system was designed for a range of 7 to 10 1/2" of water column for natural gas and 11 to 14" of DRAINAGE —1, 1 1/2, 1 3/4 & 2 BATH When applicable the parts required to bring all drain lines to a single point are provided as follows: 1. Pipe and fittings. 2. 1/4 pint of ABS solvent cement. 3. 10 feet of 3/4" x 28 gauge plumbing strap. 4. Ten 1/4" x 1 " stove bolts. The procedure for bringing all drain lines to a single point is as follows: 1. Remove caps on drain outlets and connect supplied parts together as shown by the drain line schematic shipped with the house. (Do not apply cement). 2. Check to be sure that the assembly has the proper 1/4 inch drop per foot. 3. Mark each joint to aid in reassembly. Start at outlet end of system and remove, cement and reassemble each slip joint one at a time. Be sure to apply the cement on both male and female ends with a good even coating. 4. Using the 3/4" x 28 gauge strapping, strap the drain line to the center crossmembers of the frame placing a strap at each member (4 feet apart). Use a 1/4" x 1" stove bolt to secure strap in place. 5. Connect home drain to site sewage system as for single bath previously discussed. 6. Check completed system for leaks. water column for LP gas. The manufactured home gas supply pressure must be within this range for safe and efficient opera- tion of the gas piping system. 14 51 INSTALLATION OF OPTIONAL FEATURES (Continued) FOUNDATION AND SUPPORT REQUIREMENTS (Continued) FIELD INSTALLED TERMINATION OF FIREPLACE CHIMNEY. - TABLE 3 PIER LOADING UNDER CENTERLINE BEAMS DOUBLE-W1D-E-HOMES_ -- - - - Termination cap - field installed Storm collar - field installed Flashing - field installed Top section of flue pipe - field installed Factory installed thimble Factory installed flue pipe 10 feet or less (typical) !JRicdge'Beam Truss (typical) Upper and side shingles overlap r----------- ; flange and are set in asphalt Flue pipe I cement i Lower part of flange overlaps lower shingles SHINGLE INSTALLATION AROUND FLUE PIPE 20' WIDE HOMES 24' WIDE HOMES 26' & 28' WIDE HOMES 32' WIDE HOMES Span Between Columns (Ft.)

Moving Home To Location: Make sure the following items are completed before placing the home: • The site is properly prepared. See Chapter 3. • All concrete work necessary to setting the home is finished • Utilities are installed or available. • Any trenching, for crossover drain lines or for wheels that will be left in place, is complete. • Items that could be difficult to install after the home is sited (such as anchors and ground moisture retarders) are in their proper locations. CAUTION: THE HOME WEIGHS SEVERAL TONS. USE ADEQUATE TEMPORARY SUPPORT BLOCKING TO SAFEGUARD WORKERS. SKYLINE CORP. RECOM- MENDS WOOD BLOCKING. Positioning Home. When not placing the home on a con- crete slab or poured -in -place footings, mark the corners of the home and lay out footings and support devices close to where they will be used. Then move the home or first section into position. Leveling and Blocking — Single -Wide Homes. 1. Before doing any jacking, place support piers for the home in the location under the home as specified in the home instal- lation instructions. 2. Use a minimum of two jacks, each with a rating of at least ten tons. 3. Jack only on the main chassis I-beam. Locate the jack directly under the vertical web of the I-beam. Do not jack on the seam (joint between flanges) of a twin I-beam. 4. Use a large 3/8 inch thick steel plate, C-channel or other equivalent plate between the main chassis I-beam and the jack head to distribute the load. 5. The jack base and any blocking must be located on firm ground. 6. Do not operate the jacks while you are under the main (-beams of the home. 7. Use jacks only for raising the home. Do not rely on the jacks to support the home. 18 8. Place 4" x 6" x 48" min. safety timbers between the k beams and ground in case of jack failure. Timber should be hardwood. 9. Raise the home in small increments and provide additional blocking between the home and the piers and safety piers as the home is raised. 10. Do not go under the home while it is supported on the jacks unless safety timbers capable of supporting the home are in place. FAILURE TO FOLLOW THESE WARNINGS MAY RESULT IN SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH. Reminders before jacking... 1. Use only jacks in good condition with a minimum rating of 10 tons. 2. Use a minute man C-Channel jacking plate or equivalent between jack and steel I-beam to distribute the concentrated loads. (See Figure 5-1) 3. Use a firm support under the jack base to prevent tipping or settling of the jack. Skyline recommends a 12" x 12" or larger pad. 4. Always follow the sequence of jacking outlined below to avoid overstressing structural members.

THE COMPLETED INSTALLATION MUST CONFORM TO ARTICLE 440 OF THE NATIONAL ELECTRI- CAL CODE AND APPLICABLE LOCAL CODES. Factory installed branch circuits for air condition- ing _areyindicated on the data plate under the head- ing "Rating of Factory Installed Circuit." The maxi- mum full load ampere draw for the desired air con- ditioning unit must not exceed the indicated branch circuit rating. "A" coil air conditioning units installed must be listed for use with the furnace in this home; for air conditioning installation, see the instructions shipped with the air conditioner. If a self-contained air conditioner is to be installed and connected to the heating supply duct the installation must include a damper beneath the furnace to prevent cool air from "backing -up" into the furnace durin,9 the cool- ing mode and a damper at the air conditioner supply to prevent heated air from "backing -up" into the air conditioner during the heating mode. It is recom- mended to wrap the dampers with insulation. 4 The electrical connection is via a branch circuit terminating in a Junction box beneath the home (See Fig. 6-3). The field installation wiring beyond the junction box must incorporate a fused discon- nect (sized in accordance with NEC Article 440) located within sight of the condensing unit. The maximum fuse size to be used with fused discon- nect is marked on the condenser data plate. The acceptability of the air conditioning equipment, rating the location of disconnect means, fuse type branch circuit protection, and connections to the equipment are to be determined by the local inspec- tion authority. For some models the electrical connection is made to the home via a separate rigid conduit. The conduit is 1" and is run from the panelboard and terminates below the bottom board. A PVC cap is cemented to the end of the conduit and this must be cut off to provide access to the panel board. Wiring is then installed from the panelboard to the air con- ditioner per all applicable NEC & local codes and all requirements listed above. Condensation should not be allowed to drain under home.

GAS WATER HEATER VENTING Homes factory equipped with certain types of gas water heaters may require special provisions to ensure proper ventilation. If the gas water heater installed in your home is not independently vented to the exterior of the home through a grilled opening in an exterior water heater door, then the following provisions must be followed. A. If the home is set on a crawlspace, or piers and skirting are used, then an air intake opening with a minimum free area of 32 square inches must be provided in the foundation wall or skirting. If the opening is covered by louvers or screen, the total free area must be 32 square inches. The air intake opening should be located as close as practical to the water heater location. B. If your home is set on a basement and a factory installed basement exterior venting system has not been provided, then the following steps must be taken: 1. Fabricate a plenum box to encompass the air inlet assembly without alteration to the air inlet assembly itself. This plenum must have a minimum horizontal dimension of eight (8) inches. The minimum clearance between the air inlet assembly and the inner wall of the plenum shall be two (2) inches. The vertical height of the plenum shall be as necessary to accommodate the air inlet assembly without alteration. The air inlet assembly is a round tube that is extended from the bottom of the water heater through the floor. 2. To ensure proper air entry into the fabricated plenum box, a 6 inch minimum round (or equivalent cross -sectional area) duct is required. The duct shall be of a smooth surface, rigid variety (no flex pipe) and shall be connected to the plenum in a manner that does not reduce the cross sectional area of the pipe. 3. The air inlet shall be of damperless type and provide a free area not less than the cross -sectional area of the duct. A screen, if used, shall be 1/4 x 1/4 inch minimum. 44 [-Beam web/flange.

En- closures also aid in reducing the danger and inconvenience of damaged plumbing through freeze-up. Skyline Corporation recommends enclosing the underside of the home; however, it is very important that any enclosure be adequately ventilated. Ventilation openings need to be provided in the foundation or skirting along at least the two long walls of the home. The total area of ventilation openings should be at least 1 square foot for each 150 square feet of crawlspace area. An opening should be located within 3 ft. of each corner. PORCHES AND DECKS Some Skyline manufactured homes are constructed with factory -built porches or decks along the front, rear or main entry door side of the home. Porches and decks may be constructed with pressure treated wood floors which read- ily permit the passage of rain and/or snow through the floor. The area under porches or decks constructed with pressure treated decking lumber must be separated from the crawl space enclosure of the remainder of the home. Excessive moisture in the crawl space can be the cause of window or ceiling condensation and other problems associated with high moisture levels in the home. 22 43 SET-UP PROCEDURES (Continued) SET-UP PROCEDURES (Continued) UTILITY INTERCONNECTION 4.

Skyline Corp. recommends, if possible the wavy half be blocked and beveled first as it is easier to lift and roll the light half and fit into place. 3. Install sill sealer insulating material (provided) around the ceiling (to the ridge beam at the ceiling panel line), endwalls and floor mating line. Fasten sill sealer with staples or nails. See figure 5-8A. 4. Slide the two halves together with rolling and jacking equipment. Care must be taken during rolling and jacking operations to avoid overstressing structural members. With the halves together at the floor, align the floors at the ends of the home. It is better to have a minor misalignment under the siding where it cannot be seen and will not cause a problem, than a small misalignment that will be observed in the interior cf the home. 5.. With the home aligned at the floor and supported by its foundation, join the floors using 3/8" x 3" (4-1/2" lags with double perimeter joist) lag screws 2 to 3 feet on center. A gap between halves up to 1" is allowable. Gaps larger than 1/2" must be filled with plywood or lumber shims. For 1/2" max gaps, increase fastener length 1 ". Use the procedures out- lined on page 16 to level the home and check supports and footings with tables 2 and 3. 6. To obtain access into the ceiling cavity to bolt or alter- nately lag screw the ridge beam sections together, fold back the underlayment paper and remove the 16" wide sheathing panel(s) at the peak. Note that the shingles may not have been -installed -on -one -or both halves,-at-the-16"-wide area at the peak. If one side is shingled, it is intended that the beams be lag screwed together. If neither side is shingled, the beam may be lag screwed or bolted together. Bolts to be 3/8" x 4- 1/2". Lag screws to be 3/8" x 5". Install lag screws or bolts at 24" o.c. with 6 additional lag screws at 3" o.c. over interior beam supports. (If marriage walls and ridge beam halves have been plated with 3/8" sheathing, then the bolts or lags must be increased in length by 3/4" to 5-3/4".) Predrill 1/4" pilot holes for the lag screws at 1-112" down -from -the top of -- the beam and with a maximum offset from the horizontal of 45 degrees. A gap between beam halves up to 1" is allowable. Gaps larger than 1/2" must be filled with plywood or lumber shims. For 1/2" max gaps, increase fastener length 1/2". For 1" max. gaps increase fastener length 1-1/4". See Fig. 5-7. 7. Prior to interconnecting the ridge beam halves, examine the ridge beam ends. Should there be a slight misalignment, it can be eliminated by placing a jack under the low side of main beam on one half and use the jack to raise the beam. The alignment can be held by properly bolting or lag screwing the beam halves together. See Fig. 5-8. 8. Place additional pier supports at the centerline at the interior column locations marked on the floor with indicator straps or paint (see Figure 5-3 and 5-4 and Table 3). Skyline Corp. provides pier location diagrams for all multiwide mod- els. These diagrams show the required locations of piers and are very useful in determining pier placement prior to taking receipt of home. Additional piers are required each side of exterior doors and sidewall openings greater than 4' in width. See Table 3A for these pier load requirements. 9. Toe -nail endwall centerline studs together using 16d nails 10" O.C. 10. If home has double mating walls, then fasten the mating wall columns together with #8 x 4" screws 16" o.c. Shim any gaps at columns with plywood or lumber and increase fasten- er length to achieve min. penetration. See Figure 5-7A. NOTE: (1) When beam support consists of a column instead of Centerline bearing wall, use 6 bolts/lags at 3" o.c. each side of column.

Note: If unit has multiple cable splices the circuits will be identified by the attached code markers. Heating Crossover There are two basic hookup procedures for all designs. The first procedure is the standard design and is a single 12" diameter flexible duct. The second procedure is an optional design that includes a varying number of 5" or 6" crossover ducts that are installed in the floor. The method of installation for the standard design is as follows: 1. Connect each end of the provided insulated 12" diameter flexible duct to the metal duct connector on each half of the home by sliding duct over metal tabs on duct connector. 2. After mechanical connections are made, tape each connection with 2-inch wide duct tape to ensure an airtight seal. 3. Permanently secure the crossover duct with straps as shown in Fig. 5-29. Do not allow duct to rest on the ground. Maintain at least a 4-inch clearance between duct and the ground. The method of installation for optional design with standard frame is as follows: 1. Remove access panels at crossover ducts. The access panels are located below the floor. 2. Cross cut bottom board at 8" holes in reinforcing plates. 3. Extend the flexible ducts from each half through the access holes (See Fig. 5-29A). DUCT NOTE: 5 STRAPS AS SHOWN TO FLOOR JOISTS.

MANUFACTURED HOME TIE -DOWN INSTRUCTIONS The support system must also resist lifting, sliding, and over- turning forces resulting from side winds. A method used is to install ground anchors and tie -down straps in addition to the piers. Tie -downs as described are the minimum necessary if the home is to withstand its design loads without dislocation. On multi -section homes, sections must be fastened together -and -level -before tie -down straps are installed. WARNING BEFORE GROUND ANCHOR INSTALLATION, DETERMINE THAT THE ANCHOR LOCATIONS AROUND THE HOME WILL NOT BE CLOSE TO ANY UNDERGROUND ELECTRI- CAL CABLES, WATER LINES OR SEWER PIPING. FAIL- URE TO DETERMINE THE LOCATION OF UNDERGROUND ELECTRICAL CABLES MAY RESULT IN SERIOUS PER- SONAL INJURY OR DEATH. NOTE: IN THE FRAME TIE -DOWN SYSTEM, IT IS IMPOR- TANT TO USE MATERIALS OF PROPER DESIGN AND OF ADEQUATE QUALITY. THE MATERIAL SPECIFICATIONS CONTAINED HEREIN SHOULD BE CONSIDERED AS MINIMUM REQUIREMENTS. . Materials not furnished with the home which will be neces- sary to complete the tie -down system must meet the require- ments set forth below. Such materials would include: 1. Cable or steel strap with a breaking strength of at least 4,725 pounds e.g. galvanized aircraft cable at least 1/4" diam- eter or Type 1, Finish B, Grade 1 steel strapping 1-1/4" wide and 0.03" thick, conforming with ASTM D3953-91. 2. Galvanized connection devices such as turnbuckles, eyebolts, strap buckles, and cable clamps should be rated at 3,150 working load minimum. 3. Ground anchors - capable of withstanding at least a 4,725 pound pull. Anchors must be installed as specified by the anchor manufacturer. Stabilizers or concrete collars may be required by anchor manufacturer. THE HOME MUST BE IN ITS FINAL LEVEL POSITION PRIOR TO TYING IT DOWN. The procedure for tying down the manufactured home is as _ follows: 1. Position and install the ground anchors under exterior walls so that the final strap angle and height (H) will be within the limits shown in tables 5 thru 6C. 2. Connect the straps to the frame and ground anchors (See Figs. 5-9 and 5-10). Straps wrapped around the I -Beam as shown in Fig. 5-9 require protection from premature failure due to sharp corners. Fig. 5-9A illustrates one method to protect against sharp corner damage. Other methods (such as beam clamps - Tie -Down Engineering part no. 59003 or equivalent) approved by the local building authority having jurisdiction may be used. 3. Tighten thestrapsusing the tensioning device _provided - with the ground anchors. Use caution to avoid overtension- ing the straps which might pull the home off the piers. It is recommended that all straps be tightened only enough to re- move slack. Then, after all straps are installed and the slack removed, tension the straps. 4. The strap tension should be rechecked at frequent inter- vals until all pier settlement has stopped. CAUTION: DURING THE RELEVELING PROCESS, DO NOT JACK THE HOME AGAINST TIGHT STRAPS. Protect sharp corners with 26Ga. (0.019" min.) x 2" galvanized steel strapping material formed to fit around beam flanges. Sharp corner protection at top and bottom of beam if strap is wrapped around beam.

(6d galvanized nails may also be used). Staples should be driven so that there is a 1/32" clearance between the siding and staple crown to allow some lateral movement. Fasten every 16" at the stud location. See Figure 5-19 Detail A for proper fastening. Snap the bottom course of siding into the starter strip and -fasten to -the -wall —Leave -a 114" space -at -comer -posts -and — 'J' channels around window and door openings to allow for expansion. Do not fasten within 4" of an accessory. Verti- cal butt joints in panels should overlap 1 ". Do not fasten the panel within 4" of the joint. Install vinyl, aluminum, felt or other suitable material for flashing at bottom corners of doors and windows per Figure 5-19 Detail E. Apply caulk around siding and light blocks, water faucets, or other small penetrations. Install successive courses similarly to the first. Butt joints in adjacent courses should be offset approximately 24" for best appearance. Joints in alternate courses should be aligned vertically (See Figure 5-19 Detail B). Panels will have to be cut at headers and sills. Asingle panel should extend without joints across the width of the opening. When cutting a panel at a sill, measure the distance between the bottom of the opening and the top lock of the lower course, then deduct 1/4" (See Fig. 5-19 Detail C). Slide the cut panel into the under sill trim and install. Note that the under sill trim piece may have to be furred to maintain the proper pitch of the siding. Measure and cut the header panel in the same manner as indicated above. The top sections at the gable will need to be angle cut. Use two scrap pieces of siding to make a pattern (See Fig. 5-19 Detail D). Interlock one piece with the siding panel below. Hold the other piece on top against the gable. Mark a line on the bottom piece and cut. Use this piece as a pattern for cutting gable pieces. Install the gable pieces by interlocking with the lower course, sliding into the gable 'J' rail and fastening. If a home has been provided with "Craneboard" solid core vinyl siding, then read and follow the special instructions provided with this manual.

H max.=35" with straps/anchors spaced at 12' home, certain criteria must be established. This criteria is as o.c. maximum. Therefore, tie -down strap spacing should not follows: exceed 12 foot on center. If the home were placed in a Wind Zone II or III area, the tables on pages 30 or 31 would be used. 1.

The torque required to turn the probe, when the probe reaches the 4. Distance from bottom of I-beam to ground. desired anchor depth, is measured. The anchor manufacturer provides a chart relating the measured torque value to the type 5. Torque reading of the soil. of anchor required to provide the desired holding force. 6. Nominal roof pitch of unit (for double-wides). AN INCORRECTLY SELECTED ANCHOR WILL NOT PROVIDE THE REQUIRED LOAD RESISTANCE. For this example assume the home being installed is a 14 foot wide (single -wide) by 66 feet long. The home is being installed in Wind Zone I, and the main I-beam spacing has been established at 99-1/2 inches. The home has a 12 inch tall I-beam, and the clearance from the I-beam to the ground is measured at 20 inches. To determine the distance (H) from the ground to the underside of the floor add the I-beam depth (12") to the clearance between I-beam and the ground (20"). Therefore H=12"+20"=32". From Table 5 on page 27 (Wind Zone 1) determine the maxi- mum allowable strap spacing. Enter table at left hand side for 14' wides, and check the maximum pier height (H) for 99.5" For this example, assume a torque of 300 inch -pounds was measured at a probe depth of 4 feet. A class 4 soil is indicated from the anchor manufacturer data. The correct anchor would be identified and rated for a class 4 soil. Soil anchors must be installed as directed by the anchor man- ufacturer. If the direction of the pull is not in line with the shaft of the anchor, a concrete cylinder collar or a ground anchor sta, bilizer plate is required. The anchor manufacturer installation instructions should describe the correct anchor placement with regard to direction, water table level and frost line location.
