Safety Precautions (Rev 04/03)
iv
First Aid
IMMEDIATE action must be initiated after a person has
received an electrical shock. Obtain immediate medical
assistance if available.
The source of shock must be immediately removed by
either shutting down the power or removing the victim from
the source. If it is not possible to shut off the power, the
wire should be cut with either an insulated instrument (e.g.,
a wooden handled axe or cable cutters with heavy insulated
handles) or by a rescuer wearing electrically insulated
gloves and safety glasses. Whichever method is used do not
look at the wire while it is being cut. The ensuing flash can
cause burns and blindness.
If the victim must be removed from a live circuit, pull the
victim off with a non-conductive material. Use the victim’s
coat, a rope, wood, or loop your belt around the victim’s leg
or arm and pull the victim off. DO NOT TOUCH the vic-
tim. You can receive a shock from current flowing through
the victim’s body. After separating the victim from the
power source, check immediately for the presence of a pulse
and respiration. If a pulse is not present, start CPR (Car-
diopulmonary Resuscitation) and call for emergency medi-
cal assistance. If a pulse is present, respiration may be
restored by using mouth-to-mouth resuscitation, but call for
emergency medical assistance.
Low Voltage
Control circuits used in the temperature control unit are low
voltage (24 volts ac and 12 volts dc). This voltage potential
is not considered dangerous, but the large amount of current
available (over 30 amperes) can cause severe burns if
shorted or ground.
Do not wear jewelry, watch or rings when working on the
unit. If these items contact an electrical circuit, severe burns
may result.
UNIT DECALS
Serial number decals, refrigerant type decals and warning
decals appear on all Thermo King equipment. These decals
provide information that may be needed to service or repair
the unit. Service technicians should especially read and fol-
low the instructions on all warning decals.
Refrigerant Decal
1. Below the fuel filters, inside the engine
access door.
2. On the evaporator beside the expansion valve.
3. Beside the serial number plate on top of the
unit frame above the switch panel.
4. On the top of the condenser coil.
