3.4 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 com-
bustion 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 terminate the condensate drain line within 3
. (0.91 m) of any outlet of an engine or generator exhaust system, in a compartment containing an engine or gener-
ator, 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 conditioning unit 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 capabil-
ities, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless they have been given supervision or instruction concerning 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 conditioning unit 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 conditioning unit to minimize the electrical shock hazard. Refer to the installation
guidelines for further information.
• Each air conditioning unit installed requires a dedicated circuit breaker. If there is only one air conditioning unit in-
stalled, the seawater pump does not require a circuit breaker. If two or more air conditioning units use the same sea-
water pump, the pump wires will be connected to a pump relay panel (PRP), which in turn has its own dedicated cir-
cuit 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 protec-
tion. See the data plate for the maximum fuse/circuit breaker size (MFS) and minimum circuit capacity (MCA).
NOTICE!
This appliance contains 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 not-
ed on the unit label.
