11.Locate the WHITE terminal board on the side of the Pump Relay Box. Using the 16 gage boat cable from the circuit breaker, strip the insulation off about 1/4 inch on the "WHITE" and "BLACK" wires in the boat cable and insert them into the appropriate slots on the side of the terminal board marked "POWER". Put the "WHITE" wire in the WHITE slot and the "BLACK" wire in the BLACK slot. Install the appropriate size electrical ring connector on the "GREEN" wire and attach it to the GROUND terminal on the box mounting bracket.

12.Locate the water pump power cord and prepare the internal wires as with the 115 vac power connections above. On the other side of the Pump Relay Box WHITE terminal board marked "PUMP", connect the pump wires in the same order as the 115 (220) vac power wires above.

13.All wiring is completed. Secure the Pump Relay Box bracket to a convenient stringer or bulkhead and installation is complete. (SEE ABOVE WARNING)

SECTION 5

(MAINTENANCE and WINTERIZATION)

A.MAINTENANCE:

1. Water System:

a)After the first 30 days of operation, check all water connections for leaks and all hose clamps to insure that none have become loose. It is always a good policy to make periodic checks of all water connections and to close the "water in" sea cock whenever you leave the boat for extended periods of time.

b)Your water strainer will require cleaning on a regular basis. The time between cleanings will be dependent on the condition of the water your boat resides in, the amount of time your air unit operates, and the physical size of the strainer you have installed. After you have had your unit for a few months you will develop a feel for how often you should clean the strainer basket.

2. Air System:

a)There is little maintenance required for the air system. The main item is the air filter located on the front of the air unit evaporator. This filter will require cleaning on a regular basis. As with the water strainer, the time between cleanings will be dependent on operating time and environment. For instances, if you have a pet, the time between cleanings will be shorter due to the pet hair that will be pulled onto the filter. The filter is easily cleaned by washing it in plain tap water. Never operate the air unit for extended periods of time without the air filter in place. The debris that would normally be collected by the filter will become lodged in the evaporator coil cooling fins and will
