Safety Instructions

This manual has safety information and instructions to help users eliminate or reduce the risk of accidents and injuries.

Read and follow all safety information, installation guides, recommended precautions, and safe operating instructions.

GENERAL INFORMATION

A.This air conditioner / heat pump is designed for:

1.Installation on a recreational vehicle.

2.Mounting on the roof of a recreational vehicle.

3.Roof construction with rafters/joists on 16 inch centers.

4.2.5" to 5.5" inch thick roofs.

B.The efficiency of the air conditioner / heat pump will be affected by the conditions inside and outside of the RV. Reducing the heat gain of the RV will allow the air conditioner / heat pump to function with greater efficiency. Here are some suggestions to reduce heat gain in your RV.

1.Select a shaded area to park your RV

2.Close windows and utilize the blinds and / or curtains.

3.Keep doors shut.

4.Avoid using appliances that produce heat.

Beginning the cooling / heating process early in the day will greatly improve the heat pump’s ability to maintain the desired temperature.

In high temperature and high humidity environments, the air conditioner / heat pump should be set in Cool mode with the Fan Speed in the high position, This will allow for optimal cooling efficiency.

C. Condensation

The manufacturer of this air conditioner / heat pump will not be responsible for damage caused by condensed moisture on ceilings or other surfaces, Air contains moisture and this moisture tends to condense on cold surfaces, When air enters the RV, condensed moisture may appear on the ceiling, windows, metal parts, etc. The air conditioner / heat pump removes this moisture from the air during cooling operation, Keeping doors and windows closed when this air conditioner /heat pump is operating will minimize condensation.

CONNECTING 115VAC WIRING

1.WARNING - SHOCK HAZARD: To prevent the possibility of severe personal injury or equipment damage due to electrical shock, always be sure the electrical power is disconnected or off before beginning installatiom.

2.Route the 115VAC supply wiring previously routed into the frame of the roof opening, through the strain relief of the electrical box and into the high voltage wiring area.

TO PREVENT THE POSSIBILITY OF SHOCK INJURY FROM APPLIANCE OPERATION: THE WHITE WIRE MUST BE CONNECTED TO NEUTRAL IN THE SERVICE BOX ENTRANCE AND THE GREEN GROUND WIRE MUST BE CONNECTED TO A GROUNDING SCREW.

ATTACH CEILING GRILL

1.Position the grill next to the interior frame and attach it with the provided screws.

2.Install the filter on the air intake grill section.

3.Snap the intake grill section onto the main grille.

4.Install the screw covers.

MAINTENANCE

1.AIR FILTER:

Remove the return air filter (after every 30 days of use) located above the removable air intake grill. Wash the filter with soap and warm water, let dry and then reinstall. Note: Never run the air conditioner / heat pump without putting the air filter back in place. This may plug the indoor coil with dirt and may substantially affect the performance of the unit.

2.Air Return Grill:

Clean panel and control panel with a soft cloth dampened with a mild detergent. Never use furniture polish or harsh chemicals.

3.FAN MOTOR:

Factory lubricated and requires no service.

4.FROST FORMATION ON COOLING COIL:

Under certain conditions, frost may form on the indoor coil. If this should occur, inspect the filter and clean if dirty. Make sure air louvers are not obstructed. Air conditioners / heat pumps have a greater tendency to frost when the outside temperature is relatively low. This may be prevented by adjusting the thermostat control to a warmer setting.

SERVICE

If the unit does not operate:

1.If RV is connected to a generator, check to be sure generator is running and producing the proper power.

2.If RV is connected to shore power, check to be sure supply breaker is sized properly to run air conditioner / heat pump load and it is plugged into power supply.

3.Check your fuse or circuit breaker to see if it is off.

4.After the above checks, call your local service center for further help. This unit must be serviced by qualified service personnel only.
