Safety Precautions
Thermo King recommends that all services be performed by a
Thermo King dealer. However, there are several general safety
practices which you should be aware of:
Automatic Start/Stop Operation
This unit is capable of automatic operation and may start at any
time without prior warning.
WARNING: Always wear goggles or safety glasses
when working with or around the refrigeration
system or battery. Refrigerant or battery acid can
cause permanent damage if it comes in contact with
your eyes.
WARNING: Keep hands and loose clothing clear of
fans and belts at all times when the unit is operating
or when opening or closing compressor service
valves.
WARNING: Exposed coil fins can cause painful
lacerations. Service work on the evaporator or
condenser coils is best left to a certified Thermo King
technician.
CAUTION: Use extreme caution when drilling holes
in the unit. Drilling into electrical wiring or
refrigerant lines could cause a fire. Never drill into
structural components.
WARNING: The unit may start at any time when the
controller is turned on. The controller display lights
up when the controller is turned on.
WARNING: Units equipped with electric standby may
start at any time when the unit is connected to live
electric power and the controller is turned on.
