2. To protect the DC power supply wiring, install a 15 amp fuse or circuit breaker in the positive(+) DC powe r
supply wire as close to the battery as possible.
- There is a 15 amp fuse in the DC circuit at the ref r igerator powe r supply leads .
3. Connect the DC power supply wires (See Art02282 and A rt 2283).
If the DC power supply leads are atta c hed incorr e ctly, the re frigerator will not operate .
- Connect the positive (+) DC power supply lead to the red wire [99] of the refrigerat or .
- Connect the negative (-) DC power supply lead to the black wire [224] of the refrigerato r.
- Make sure that:
- Each DC power supply lead is attached to the correct polarity wire of the refrigerator power supply
- The chassis or the vehicle frame is not used as one of the conductors.
- The DC power supply wires including the fuses are routed directly from the battery to the refrigerator.
- The wire connections must be clean, tight and free of corrosion. If any of these items are not correct:
- A voltage drop to the refrigerator will occur.
- The voltage drop will decrease the cooling performance of the refrigerator.
Disconnect the positive(+) DC power supply wire from the battery before you do a “ fast charge ” of the
battery.Failure to disconnect the positive (+) power supply wire from the battery during a “ fast charge ” can
cause damage to the refrigerator or other DC appliances.
