installation
Very important safety considerations: 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 feet of any outlet
of engine or generator exhaust systems, nor in a compartment housing an engine or generator,
nor in a bilge, unless the drain is connected properly to a sealed condensate or shower sump
pump.
safety Warning – The a/c unit should never be
placed such that it can circulate carbon monoxide,
fuel vapors or other noxious fumes into the boat's
living spaces. Do not install or operate a self-contained
unit in the engine room or near an internal combustion
engine. Failure to follow this precaution could result in
serious injury or death.
ignition protection Warning - Self-contained
units do not meet federal requirements for ignition
protection. Do not install in spaces containing gaso-
line engines, tanks, LPG/CPG cylinders, regulators,
valves or fuel line fittings. Failure to comply may result
in injury or death.
Installation and servicing of this system can be
hazardous due to system pressure and electri-
cal components. When working on this equipment,
always observe precautions described in the litera-
ture, tags and labels attached to the unit. Follow all
safety codes. Wear safety glasses and work gloves
and place a fire extinguisher close to the work area.
The following is a summary of the labels on the unit:
Danger - Electrical shock hazard. Disconnect
voltage at main panel or power source before opening
any cover. Failure to comply may result in injury or
death.
Warning - This component does not meet federal
requirements for ignition protection. Do not install in
spaces containing gasoline engines, tanks, LPG/CPG
cylinders, regulators, valves or fuel line fittings. Failure
to comply may result in injury or death.
Warning - To minimize the hazard of electrical shock
and personal injury, this component must be effec-
tively grounded. Refer to the installation guidelines for
further information.

caution - High compressor temperature is normal.
Do not touch.
prior to installation
Read these instructions completely and then plan
all connections which must be made to the a/c unit
including ducting, condensate drain line, seawater
inlet and outlet hoses, electrical power connection,
location of control, and seawater pump placement, to
assure easy access for routing and future servicing.
installation overview
See Figure 1 for an overview of a typical Turbo a/c
system installation.
blower rotation
Rotate the blower to the direction which allows the
most direct airflow discharge through the ducting.
Loosen the adjustment screw on blower mount ring,
rotate blower to desired position, and then tighten
adjustment screw See Figure 2.
placement of a/c unit
IMPORTANT
INSTALLATION
condensate base pan is equipped with vibration isola-
tors installed in the bottom of the pan. These isolators
are designed to dampen the vibration caused by the
operating a/c unit from transferring into the mounted
surface. Care must be taken when moving the a/c
unit across mounting surfaces as isolators can be
damaged. Isolators will not normally pull out of pan,
but can turn sideways if dragged and may break if
excessive dragging occurs. Unit must be picked up
after moving to allow isolator to reset into well or
vibration isolation will be ineffective.
The a/c unit must be mounted to a low flat level
surface, in bottom of locker, under a bunk or dinette
seat, or in a similar location. Read the safety consider-
ations above and see Figure 1 before mounting unit.
