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.
