Installation Manual 9CAUTION: Apply Loctite removable thread locker (blue)to the threads of the hinge screws before assembly toprevent loosening during use. Do not allow Loctite tocontact any of the plastic surfaces of the refrigeratorbecause it can damage those surfaces.- Align the hinges and put the hinge pins into each door.- Tighten the hinge pins.- Put the storage bins in the doors.Connect the Electrical ComponentsAC Operation 10 volts AC voltage(1 volts max. - 108 volts min.)1 volts DC control voltage(15.4 volts max. - 10.5 volts min.)This refrigerator operates on these electrical sources. Operationout of these limits may damage the refrigerator’s electrical circuitparts and will void the warranty.WARNING: The rear of the refrigerator cooling systemhas hot surfaces and sharp surfaces that can damageelectrical wiring. Make sure that there is a good clearancebetween all electrical wiring and the cooling system ofthe refrigerator. Position any electrical wiring within therefrigerator enclosure opposite the burner side of therefrigerator. Do not put any electrical wiring through theroof exhaust vent. Failure to correctly position electricalwiring can result in electrical shock or fire.Connect the 120 volts AC supply:WARNING: Connect the AC power cord(s) only to agrounded three-prong receptacle. Do not remove theround ground prong from any of the AC power cords. Donot use a two prong adapter or an extension cord withany of the AC power cords. Operation of the refrigeratorwithout correct ground can cause dangerous electricalshock or death if you are touching the metal parts of therefrigerator.Put the AC power cord(s) into a grounded three-prong receptacle:- Make sure the receptacle is positioned within easy reach ofthe lower intake vent.- Make sure the power cord(s) does not touch the burnercover, the flue pipe, or any hot component that coulddamage the insulation of the power cord.Connect the 12 volts DC supply:As the distance from the vehicle battery to the refrigeratorincreases, the correct AWG wire size and fuse size alsoincreases. If the wire size is too small for the distance, a voltagedrop occurs.1. Determine the min. wire size and the max. fuse size to use:WARNING: If you use an incorrect wire size and/or fusesize, electrical fire can result.- Use a minimum of 18 AWG wire and a maximum 6 Amp fuse.- If the wire size is larger than the min. size, use the correctfuse per RVIA A119. standard or local codes.. Install a fuse in DC power supply wires between the batteryand the refrigerator:- Put fuse as close to the battery as possible.. Connect the DC power supply wires (See Art00966):- Attach a 1/4 inch Quick Connect terminal to each DC powersupply wire.NOTE: Do not use the chassis of the refrigerator or the vehicleframe as one of the conductors. Attach the DC powersupply wires only to the battery and the power board[49] of the refrigerator.- Push the positive DC power wire [50] onto the power boardterminal that is marked 12VDC.- Push the DC ground wire [51] onto the power board terminalthat is marked GND.- Make sure each DC power supply wire is on the correctpolarity terminal.!!!!
