1 MAINTENANCE AND SAFETY INFORMATION
1. Installation of the system must be performed according to the in-
stallation and service instructions.
2. If the height of the vehicle specified in the vehicle licensing
documents is exceeded by the installation of the rooftop air-condition-
ing system, theinstallation must be legalized by an acceptance inspec-
tion according to §19 StVZO (German Road Traffic Licensing Regula-
tions).
3. In case of a refrigerating circuit malfunction the system must be
checked by an authorized repair shop and repaired properly. By no
means must refrigerant be drained to free atmosphere.
4. Installation, maintenance and repairs as well as any other work on
the refrigerating circuit must be performed by skilled personnel and
authorized repair shops with the engine off and the electrical power
supply switched off. When working on the electrical wiring the battery
must be disconnected.
5. When handling refrigerant protective clothing and goggles must be
worn.
6. Regardless of the operating hours of the system a loss of refrigerant
is possible even with no leaks in the system. Considerable loss of ref-
rigerant in short time intervals are however an indication for a leak in
the system.
7. For servicing and repairs of the refrigerating circuit the special
operating materials, special tools and accessories detailed in the in-
stallation and servicing instructions manual must be used.
8. Like all components of the vehicle also the air-conditioning system
is exposed to continuous stress. In order to ensure system ser-
viceability and avoid damage of components, the scheduled main-
tenance tasks must be carried out.
9. Proper handling of the system and a complete record of the comple-
tion of scheduled maintenance is a basic requirement for the
acceptance of possible warranty claims on components subject to
maintenance.
10. Regardless of the timetable in the installation and service instruc-
tions, within 4 weeks of first operation of the rooftop air-conditioning
system all attachments and coolant line connections must be checked
for security.
11. Even with the air-conditioning system not in use, components may
wear due to normal ageing or stress caused by vehicle operation.
Therefore all scheduled maintenance and servicing tasks detailed in
the installation and service instructions must be performed regardless
of the system operating hours.
12. Work on the refrigerating circuit always requires the replacement
of the collector/drier.
