Black wire = “Y” connection on thermostat. This wire is for the cooling mode.

9.Putting it all together:

At this point the unit can be placed back into its compartment, and all the power, water hoses and ducting should be available and ready to connect:

IMPORTANT

DO NOT CUT ANY EXCESS WATER HOSE , WIRE OR DUCTING BEFORE DETERMINING THAT ALL REQUIREMENTS CAN BE MET WHEN UNIT IS SECURED.

Position the air conditioner unit so "water in" and "water out" hoses can be attached without kinking. Now check the air splitter and ducting for fit. Make sure that all ducting bends are as slight as possible to keep air restriction to a minimum. Once you are satisfied with the compromises you have made between the water and the air connections, locate a place for the electric box. Remember this box may be mounted in any attitude, but must never get wet. Now, before cutting any excess hose, etc., check to see that all four air conditioner mounting screws can be installed without

making contact with the hull.

Note: Enclosed in the kit is a "S" shaped flat metal bracket with a hole drilled in one end of the "S". This is the "hold down bracket" for the fourth mounting screw. This bracket will slip over the side of the evaporator condensation pan and the fourth mounting screw will be used to secure it. Because this bracket can be placed anywhere on the pan, you have a good deal of latitude in tight situations for installing the screw.

The air conditioner unit may now be secured. For vibration reduction, ensure the included foam insulation mounting pad is under the air conditioning unit. Do not secure the electric box at this time.

Next, cut the water hoses to fit and attach each hose with two s/s hose clamps. Make sure that each hose is placed on the proper end of the condensing coil as marked ("water- in/water-out"). BE SURE TO REMOVE THE PLASTIC CAPS ON THE WATER-

IN/WATER-OUT ENDS OF THE CONDENSING COIL. THESE WERE INSTALLED FOR SHIPPING PURPOSES ONLY.

Connect the clear 3/8 inch hose to the nipple on the condensation pan. This hose generally fits snugly without a hose clamp.

Using the full length of the electric box cable or unpluging the cable, bring the box out to where it is more convenient for you to work with in making all the required connections.
