General safety messages
WARNING: Carbon monoxide hazard
Failure to obey the following warnings could result in death or serious injury:
- Do not install or operate a self-contained air conditioner in the bilge or engine room areas, or near an internal combustion engine. Ensure that the selected location is sealed from direct access to bilge and/or engine room vapors.
- Verify the condensate drain line is properly installed and sealed. Do not end the condensate drain line within 3 ft. (0.91 m) of any outlet of an engine or generator exhaust system, in a compartment containing an engine or generator, or in a bilge, unless the drain is connected properly to a sealed condensate or shower sump pump. If the drain line is not properly installed, dangerous fumes may travel up the drain line and contaminate the living quarters.
- Do not install the air conditioner in a location where it can circulate carbon monoxide, fuel vapors, or other noxious fumes into the boat’s living spaces.
WARNING: Electrical shock, fire and/or explosion hazard
Failure to follow these precautions could result in death or serious injury.
This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children) with reduced physical, sensory, or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless they have been given supervision or instruction about the use of the appliance by a person responsible for their safety. Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance. Cleaning and user maintenance shall not be made by children without supervision. This appliance should not be accessible to the general public.
WARNING: Explosion hazard
Failure to follow these precautions could result in death or serious injury.
Do not install the air conditioner in a location containing gasoline engines, tanks, LPG/CPG cylinders, regulators, valves, or fuel line fittings. Unless labeled otherwise, self-contained units do not meet federal requirements for ignition protection. Failure to obey this warning could result in death or serious injury.
WARNING: Electrical shock hazard
Failure to follow these precautions could result in death or serious injury.
- Be sure to effectively ground the air conditioner to minimize the electrical shock hazard. Refer to the installation guidelines for further information.
- Each air conditioner installed requires a dedicated circuit breaker. If there is only one air conditioner installed, the seawater pump does not require a dedicated circuit breaker. If two or more air conditioning units use the same seawater pump, the pump wires will be connected to a pump relay panel (PRP), which in turn has its own dedicated circuit breaker sized for the pump (20 A max). Refer to the wiring diagram furnished with the PRP. Electrical connections in the bilge and/or below the waterline should use heat shrink type butt splices.
- Field wiring must comply with ABYC electrical codes. Power to the unit must be within the operating voltage range indicated on the data plate. Properly sized fuses or HACR circuit breakers must be installed for branch circuit protection. See the data plate for the maximum fuse/ circuit breaker size (MFS) and minimum circuit capacity (MCA).
NOTICE: This appliance has fluorinated greenhouse gases in hermetically sealed equipment. Refer to the condensing unit’s product data plate label for the quantity of refrigerant shown in weight and GWP. The refrigerant added should be noted on the unit label.
