SECTION 1
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
1.1 SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
Your Carrier Transicold refrigeration 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 pre-trip 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.
CAUTION
Under no circumstances should anyone at-
tempt to repair the Logic or Display Boards.
Should a problem develop with these com-
ponent, contact your nearest Carrier Tran-
sicold dealer for replacement.
CAUTION
Under no circumstances should a techni-
cian electrically probe the processor at any
point, other than the connector terminals
where the harness attaches. Microproces-
sor components operate at different volt-
age levels and at extremely low current lev-
els. Improper use of voltmeters, jumper
wires, continuity testers, etc. could perma-
nently damage the processor.
CAUTION
Most electronic components are suscepti-
ble to damage caused by electrical static
discharge (ESD). In certain cases, the hu-
man body can have enough static electric-
ity to cause resultant damage to the compo-
nents by touch. This is especially true of the
integrated circuits found on the truck/trailer
microprocessor.
Auto-Start
Your refrigeration unit is equipped with Auto-Start in
both Start--Stop and Continuous Run modes. The unit
may start at any time when the Start/Run--Off Switch
(SROS) is in the Start/Run position. A buzzer will sound
for 5 seconds before the unit is started. When
performing any check of the refrigeration unit (e.g.,
checking the belts, checking the oil), make certain that
the SROS is in the OFF 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.
Refrigerants
The refrigerant contained in the refrigeration system of
your unit can cause frostbite, severe burns, or blindness
when in direct contact with the skin or eyes. For this
reason, and because of legislation regarding the
handling of refrigerants during system service, we
recommend that whenever your unit requires service of
the refrigeration system you contact your nearest
Carrier Transicold authorized repair facility for service.
Battery
This unit is equipped with a lead-acid 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.
1.2 SPECIFIC WARNING AND CAUTION
STATEMENTS
To help identify the label hazards on the unit and explain
the level of awareness each one carries, an explanation
is given with the appropriate consequences:
DANGER -- warns against an immediate hazard which
WILL result in severe personal injury or death.
WARNING -- warns against hazards or unsafe condi-
tions which COULD result in severe personal injury or
death.
CAUTION -- warns against potential hazard or unsafe
practice which could result in minor personal injury, or
product or property damage.
The statements listed below are specifically applicable
to this refrigeration unit and appear elsewhere in this
manual. These recommended precautions must be un-
derstood and applied during operation and maintenance
of the equipment covered herein.
