SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
Your Carrier Transicold unit has been designed with the safety of the operator in mind. During normal operation, all
moving parts are fully enclosed to help prevent injury. During all pretrip inspections, daily inspections, and problem
troubleshooting, you may be exposed to moving parts. Please stay clear of all moving parts when the unit is in
operation and when the unit main power switch is in the START/RUN position.
Engine Coolant
The engine is equipped with a pressurized cooling system. Under normal operating conditions, the coolant in the
engine and radiator is under high pressure and is very hot. Contact with hot coolant can cause severe burns. Do not
remove the cap from a hot radiator. If the cap must be removed, do so very slowly in order to release the pressure
without spray.
Battery
This unit is equipped with a leadacid type battery. The battery normally vents small amounts of flammable hydrogen
gas. Do not smoke when checking the battery. A battery explosion can cause serious physical harm and/or blindness.
