Battery Installation and Cable
Routing
WARNING: Improperly installed battery could result
in a fire or explosion. A Thermo King approved
battery must be installed and properly secured to the
battery tray.
WARNING: Improperly installed battery cables could
result in fire or explosion. Battery cables must be
installed, routed and secured properly to prevent
them from rubbing, chaffing or making contact with
hot, sharp or rotating components.
CAUTION: Do not connect other manufacturer’s
equipment or accessories to the Thermo King unit.
This could result in severe damage to equipment and
void the warranty.
CAUTION: Set all unit electrical controls to the OFF
position before connecting battery cables to the
battery to prevent unit from starting unexpectedly and
causing personal injury.
CAUTION: Always wear protective clothing, gloves
and eye wear when handling and installing batteries.
Battery acid can cause serious burns when exposed to
eyes or skin. If battery acid contacts skin or clothing,
wash immediately with soap and water. If acid enters
your eye, immediately flood it with running cold
water for at least twenty minutes and get medical
attention immediately.
CAUTION: Always cover battery terminals to prevent
them from making contact with metal components
during battery installation. Battery terminals
grounding against metal could cause the battery to
explode.
