12V Installation
6MM WIRING DIRECT TO BATTERY
HavingagoodpowersupplyiskeytoyourBushman
operatingatitsbest.Foroptimumresults,werecommend
usingminimum6mmautomotivewiredirectlyfromyour
12Vpoweroutlettoyourcarsbatterythrougha10Amp
fuse.Ensuretheearthiswiredbacktoyourbattery,not
tothechassis.Ifyourwiringisnotminimum6mmorisnot
directtoyourbattery,yourBushmanmaycutoutearlydue
topowerdropinyourwiring.
Using a Generator
Onlyuseahighqualitypuresinewavegeneratorto
operateyourBushman.Fluctuationsingeneratorcurrent
willdamagetherefrigerator.Forfailsafeoperationwitha
generatorwerecommendrunningabatterychargerfrom
yourgeneratoroutlettoa12Vbattery,andthenrunning
yourBushmandirectlyfromthebattery.
Reversing The Lid
Tochangetheopeningdirectionofthelid,removethe2
plastichingerecesscoversfromthenon-hingedside.You
willneedtodrillasmallholeintoeachcoverandprythem
offgently.Swapthehingesacross.Therearetwoextra
plasticcoversprovidedwitheachnewfridgetocoverthe
existingrecesses.
Safe Operation
VENTILATION
Alwaysallowsufcientairventilationaroundthefrontand
sidesofthecompressorcompartment.Thiswillensureheat
canescapeeasilyfromthecompressorandcondensor.
NORMAL OPERATING SOUNDS
Youmayhearfaintgurgling,bubblingorwhirringsounds
whenyourBushmanisrunning.Thisisnormalasthe
refrigerantisbeingpumpedthroughtherefrigerantcoils.
DELAYED STARTUP
Duetothelatestcompressortechnology,yourfridgemay
takeupto60secondstostartafterbeingpoweredupor
afterthetemperaturesettingsarealtered.
CORRUGATIONS / PACKING
Ifyouareusingyourfridgewhilstdrivingoncorrugatedor
roughroads,ensurethatyourgoodsarepackedinaway
thatnohardobjectsarerubbingontheinsideofthefridge
cabinet.Thismaypermanentlydamageyourfridge.
MOUNTING
Youcanmountyourfridgeusingthe4nutsertsonthe
bottomofthefridge.Werecommendafxingthesupplied
4rubberfeettoabsorbshocksinthisscenario.
CYCLE TIMES
WhenyourBushmanisrunningitwilloperateat2°Ceither
sideofsettemperature.Forexample,withyourBushman
setat0°Cthecompressorwilloperateuntilthefridge
reaches–2°C.Thecompressorwillcutbackinwhenthe
fridgetemperaturereaches+2°C.
Byrunning2°Ceithersideofthesettemperaturethe
compressorwillnotcutinandoutexcessivelyandthiswill
reduceyourpowerconsumption.
Cleaning
INTERNAL CLEANING
WashtheinsideofyourBushmanwithlukewarmwater
andamildsoap.Neveruseabrasiveorcorrosivecleaning
agents,steelwoolorscouringsponges.Asponge,towel,
orsoftbrushisrecommended.Aftercleaning,thoroughly
rinseanddry.
Important Information
– DonotlayyourBushmanonitsbackorsidesoratanyangleexceeding30°.
– NeveroperateyourBushmandirectlyfrom240Vmainspowerwithoutusinga240V–12Vadapter.
– DonotuseamodiedsinewaveinvertertooperateyourBushman.

Beep / Flashing Light
TheRoadieisttedwithasmallinternalspeaker.Ifyourcompressornoticesanerror,afteraminuteitwillstarttobeepand
theblueLEDwillash.
Trouble Shooting
Voltage Issues
YourBushmanneedsaminimum10.9Vtostartand9.6V
tocontinueoperating.
Duringstartupaloadisplacedonthepowersupplyand
voltagecandropbyasmuchas2V–3V,especiallyifthe
wiringininsufcient(lessthan6mmdirecttobattery)orif
thereisalooseconnectionsomewhere.
IfthisoccurswhenyoutryandstartyourBushmanand
thepowersupplydropsunder10.9Vitwillnotstart.Ifthis
occurswhenyourBushmanisrunningandthepowersupply
dropsbelow9.6Vitwillstop.
Common 12V Power Supply Issues
WIRING
Oftenthestandardwiringfromthecarbatterytothe12V
outletistoosmall.Aminimum6mmautomotivewiring
shouldbeusedandtheearthshouldbewireddirectlyback
tothebattery.
BATTERY
Thecarbatterycouldbeold,undersizedorhaveadeadcell
causingtoomuchvoltagedrop.
CONNECTIONS
The12Vplug,car12Vsocketoranyoftheconnections
betweenthefridgeandthebatterycouldbefaultyorhave
comeloosesinceinstallation.
