8. Air conditioning
The air conditioning breakers should be turned
on after the generator has been running for 5
minutes (or once the boat is plugged into shore
power) and the breakers should be shut off
before stopping the generator or unplugging
from shore power.
There are 2 compressor units, one under the
berth in the aft cabin and one beneath the
forward seating in the saloon.
Turn on the forward unit first and wait for 30
seconds before turning on the aft unit. Ensure
the companionway and all hatches are closed;
otherwise the compressors will freeze up.
The units will work best is the minimum
temperature is set no lower than 70 degrees. Set it
below this and you risk frosting up the unit and
causing it to shut down. Only select the ‘cool’
mode.
The remote panel will automatically display the
ambient temperature.
Switch the remote units on and off using the ‘on’
button.
