Put your wrenches on the coupling bodies only!Small COUplINg TORQUe ReQUIReD 12­15 foot pounds (less than the large couplings) CONNeCTINg The plaTe COUplINgS (from tube set to PowerPlate) 1. Remove the protective caps of one mating pair of the couplings inside the box (start with either pair). Screw the couplings halves together until they bottom metal-to-metal with very firm pressure (about 4 turns) using two wrenches: 5/8" and 3/4". Using your two wrenches (do not use pliers, visegrips, etc) tighten couplings an additional one flat (1/6 turn). This should require considerable wrench torque. If it did not, you did not "bottom" the couplings first. Repeat the above for the other pair of coupling halves. ImpORTaNT: Save all coupling protective caps. Put them in a marked container and keep aboard. If a future service procedure requires that any coupling pair be disconnected, these caps must be re-installed immediately to keep out dirt. To connect the couplings to condensing unit, please refer to section entitled "Refrigerant Couplings. " After completing this section, seal the black rubber insulating sleeve to the outside of the refrigerated box airtight, using Mortite or other (removable-type) caulking sealant. All three (3) feet of sleeve must be outside the box. This sleeve may butt against the outer wall or the inner liner. excess tubing: Form a coil about 18" in diameter, (taking care not to deform the tubes) in the horizontal orientation if possible, and secure tightly to the bulkheads, etc. Protect tubing from chafe and vibration with soft sleeving as necessary. 16 ENGLISH Adler/Barbour Series installation Guidelines eleCTRICal CONSIDeRaTIONS WATER COOLED OPTION PACKAGE: How it works and why To get absolutely top performance from your SuperColdMachine, you can add this package at any time in the future if not with your original installation. If inlet air temperature to the SuperColdMachine exceeds 90°F, switching to water cool mode will produce shorter "on" times and lower average amp draw. As air temperature increases, the water-cooled advantage increases. In tropical conditions, the total daily power consumption can be reduced by 25--40%. When you select "water pump on" using the switch panel provided with this option, note that the built-in fan (and the Powerduct fan, if fitted) continues to run. This ensures a flow of air over the compressor to keep it relatively cool and is normal. It is strongly recommended that you switch the pump off while using dockside power. [. . . ] Use two open-end wrenches: 13/16" hex or 10" adjustable to turn the female coupling. 5/8" hex or 10" adjustable to hold the male coupling. If you twist the coupling from its soldered tubing connection, you will have a refrigerant leak. Remove the compressor unit from the boat. [. . . ]
