Unpacking and Inspection
Move units in the normal “up” orientation as indicated by the arrows on each carton. When the
equipment is received all items should be carefully checked against the bill of lading to be sure
all cartons have been received. Examine units for shipping damage, removing the units from the
cartons if necessary. Units in question should also be internally inspected. If the unit is
damaged, the carrier should make the proper notation on the delivery receipt acknowledging the
damage.
Safety Considerations
Installation and servicing of this system can be hazardous due to system pressure and electrical
components. Only trained and qualified service personnel should install, repair, or service
equipment. Untrained personnel can perform basic functions of maintenance such as cleaning
coils and replacing filters.
When working on this equipment, always observe precautions described in the literature, 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.
Placement Recommendations
Since the Cabin Comfort Series is a self-contained unit, it can readily be used to cool any desired
area. However, the physical location of the air conditioner is an important factor to consider
prior to installing the unit. The unit should be installed in a central location in the room to be
cooled with adequate space around the unit for maintenance as well as a free flow of supply and
return air.
Regardless of which BTU size unit you are installing, make sure that the unit is positioned on a
firm, level, horizontal surface and that the condensate drain tube is able to run downward from
the unit to a suitable drain location. INSURE THAT THE SELECTED LOCATION IS
SEALED FROM DIRECT ACCESS TO BILGE VAPORS.
Selecting a good location for your air conditioner is the most important part of your preparations.
Be sure to consider the size of the area you are cooling, the air distribution needs, and the
physical size of the unit you have chosen. Then, plan all connections which must be made;
condensate drain, cooling water in and out, electrical connections, and pump placement, to assure
easy access for routing and servicing.
Warning: Before performing service or maintenance operations on system, turn off main
power to unit. Electrical shock could cause personal injury or death.
