Installation
Unpacking and Inspection
When the equipment is received, all items should be carefully checked according to the packaged components list
within this manual to ensure all components have been received. Examine components for shipping damage. If the
unit is damaged, the carrier should make the proper notation on the delivery receipt acknowledging the damage.
Safety Considerations
VERY IMPORTANT: Never install your air conditioner in the bilge or engine room areas. Ensure that the selected
location is sealed from direct access to bilge and/or engine room vapors. Do not terminate condensate drain line
within 3’ (914mm) of any outlet of engine, generator exhaust system, compartment housing an engine or generator,
or in a bilge, unless the drain is connected properly to a sealed condensate or shower sump pump. Seal all cabin
penetrations around condensate hoses to eliminate harmful bilge fumes in the cabin living spaces.
Installation and servicing of this system can be hazardous due to system pressure and electrical components.
