Introduction

You have purchased a marine air conditioner that will add
to your boating enjoyment. Please read the accompanying
instructions to insure proper installation, operation and care.

Warnings

The use of the Carry-On™ is not recommended while the
boat is under way because of the potential for damage to the
Carry-On or the boat or the potential for personal injury.

The National Electrical Code recommends the use of a

cord labeled with LCDI or AFCI when connecting a room
air conditioner to power. LCDI stands for Leakage Current
Detection and Interruption; AFCI stands for Arc Fault Circuit
Interruption. Both help prevent res and electrical shock.
West Marine recommends that you go to your nearest
West Marine store, call: 1-800-BOATING, or go on line to

WESTMARINE.COM and order part LCDI25 (25’ cord) or

purchase a similar cord from another supplier.

The Carry-On unit weighs 77 lbs (34.9 kg). Please get

assistance when moving or lifting the Carry-On to prevent
injury.

Dimensions & Hatch Size

The Carry-On is 19 in. (483mm) high, but only 14-5/8
in. (371mm) above deck when installed. The unit is 33
in. (838mm) long and 16 in. (406mm) wide. For proper
installation, the minimum hatch size is 12 in. (305mm)
square, and the maximum hatch size is 24 in. (610mm)

square. The minimum round hatch diameter is 15-1/2 in.

(394mm).

Before installing the unit,
you will need:

A power extension cord rated at 15 amps for 115V unit.

(See section, “Safe Operation of Carry-On”.)

Optional 3/8 in. (9.5mm) I.D. (Inside Diameter) Flexible drain

tubing. (See section, “Installation Instructions”.)

Operation)

115/60/1 dockside power
Running amps: 6.9 A
Starting amps: 21 A
Minimum Voltage: 104 VAC
Minimum Circuit: 15 A

Inverter/Generator Operation

In order to use the Carry-On safely on inverter or generator
power, you must conrm that the inverter/generator will be
able to meet the power requirements listed in this manual.
West Marine cannot assist in sizing an inverter/generator
as the manufacturer of that item is best suited for that
task. Damage to a unit caused by an inadequate inverter/
generator is not covered under warranty.

Carry-On Portable Cabin Air Conditioner

Safe Operation of Carry-On

1. Use cord labeled with LCDI or AFCI to connect to power
source (see warning).

2. Using the Carry-On is not recommended while the boat is

under way.

3. Prevent accidents or damage to Carry-On. Always carry

or move unit using the handles. Unplug at receptacle and

Carry-On control panel prior to moving.

4. Do not disassemble Carry-On.

5. Be certain the Carry-On has been properly installed
according to the Installation Instructions.

6. Physical and electrical conditions vary greatly from
location to location.

(a.) Be sure the electrical service is adequate and

equipped with a circuit breaker (15 amps minimum for
115V units).

(b.) Use a three-prong (grounded) power cord rated at 15

amps minimum for 115V units, with a length no longer
than needed to reach from the installed Carry-On to
a grounded, 3-wire receptacle on your boat, or to a

suitable grounded dockside outlet (order part number
LCDI25).

(c.) DANGER - SHOCK HAZARD! Do not, under any

circumstances, cut or remove the grounding prong from the
end of your power cord. Your Carry-On must be used with
a three-prong grounding power cord and connected to a
properly grounded and polarized three prong receptacle.

DO NOT USE AN ADAPTOR PLUG, OR A TWO BLADE
ADAPTOR PLUG THAT BYPASSES THE GROUNDING IN
ANY WAY!

(d.) It is always desirable to have your on-board or shoreside

receptacle protected by a time delay fuse or circuit breaker.

7. If the Carry-On operation is interrupted (turned off, plug
pulled out, thunderstorm, etc., accidentally or otherwise)
after operation in the COOL mode, WAIT 3 MINUTES
BEFORE RESTARTING. This allows pressure inside the

compressor to equalize. Consequences of attempted restart
within the 3 minute period may be a tripped circuit breaker
or blown fuse. In this case, turn Carry-On to “OFF”, reset

breaker (or replace fuse), wait 3 minutes, then restart.

8. If the Carry-On has been stored in any position other than
upright within 10 degrees of level, then, after installing, wait
30 minutes to allow compressor oil to settle to the bottom of
the compressor. Otherwise permanent damage may occur,
voiding the warranty.
