Congratulations on your purchase of a Bushman DC190L. Please read these instructions carefully
before installation and use.
Please be safe and use common sense and caution when installing, operating and cleaning this appliance. If
you are unsure about any of these instructions, contact your local dealer before proceeding.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION
Do not lay your fridge on its back, top or sides or at any angle exceeding 30º. If your fridge has been
incorrectly handled, ensure that the fridge is placed in a level upright position for 12 hours to allow the internal
fluids to redistribute evenly.
Never operate your fridge directly from a 240 V or AC power supply.
Do not use a modified sine wave inverter to operate your fridge.
PRIOR TO INSTALLATION
DELIVERY
At delivery, please check that the fridge is complete and is not damaged in any way. Remove all packaging
and securing tapes from the fridge. To avoid injury and causing damage to the appliance, be extremely
cautious when using sharp or pointed tools to complete this task.
Do not connect an appliance that has been damaged, contact your local stockist immediately.
INSTALLATION
Installation of the DC190L must be completed by a suitably trained professional only.
POWER SUPPLY
Your fridge must be connected to a stable and regulated 12 V or 24 V DC power supply only. The compressor
will automatically detect which voltage is present adjust accordingly.
If you are using a generator or other power supply, the output must be a pure sine wave. Any fluctuations in
generator current may damage the compressor.
WIRING
Wire you fridge directly to your battery bank, without going via a buss bar, battery management system or
shared circuit. For optimum results, you will need the correct sized wire depending on the distance from your
power supply to the fridge. Please also ensure the earth is wired directly to your battery, not to a chassis. If
your wiring is insufficient, your fridge may not perform correctly or may be damaged.

ISOLATION SWITCH
Install an isolation switch or breaker for the fridge circuit as close to your battery bank as possible. Any
switches must have a breaking load not less than 20 A on 12 V or 10 A on 24 volts.
Ensure the wiring polarity is correct. Connect the red wire to the positive terminal (+) and the black wire to the
negative terminal (-).
Never connect bare electric wires. Use only connections of a size suitable for the cross section of the wire
being used.
