INSTALLATION
UNPACKING AND INSPECTION
When the equipment is received, all items should be carefully checked against the packing list to ensure all cartons
have been received. Move units in the normal "up" orientation as indicated by the arrows on each carton. Examine
cartons for shipping damage, removing the units from the cartons if necessary. 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 three 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 sole 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.
