Tips for a Successful Installation
BEFORE BEGINNING THE INSTALLATION
•
Read this manual to understand where components are to be located and how they are to be installed.
•
Review component location diagram and discuss with the customer where each component will be installed on his
tractor.
•
Verify tools and special equipment required for the installation are available and in good working condition.
•
Open all installation kits and inspect the contents before beginning installation.
•
It is recommended that one person performs the installation of all the components outside the sleeper while a
second person installs all the components inside the sleeper. This will help minimize any damage to the sleeper’s
interior from grease, dirt, etc.
TRACTOR ALTERNATOR
•
Tractor’s engine must be fitted with an upgraded alternator of 270 amps or more and with upgraded alternator wiring of
OEM approved design.
TRACTOR’S BATTERIES
•
It is important not to allow the tractor’s batteries to become discharged during the installation process. A battery
charger should be connected to the batteries while the installation is in process or shut the tractor’s battery power
supply completely off using the OEM main battery disconnect switch, if available. See Tractor and APU Battery
Recommendations section in this manual for more information.
APU BATTERIES
•
Thermo King NXT AGM batteries are shipped fully charged and ready to use. See Tractor and APU Battery
Recommendations section in this manual for more information..
APU BATTERY BOX INSTALLATION
•
IMPORTANT: DO NOT weld or drill holes in the top or bottom flanges of the tractor’s frame. Serious structural
damage could occur to the frame! Consult your chassis manufacturer for further information.
•
The battery box is designed to be mounted only to the existing truck frame rails. NO OTHER MOUNTING
LOCATION IS ACCEPTABLE!
•
Safely relocate components on the chassis that interfere with the installation of the battery box.
•
Check clearance around battery box before beginning the installation.
•
The use of a motorcycle/ATV lift or modified floor jack to raise battery box into position is recommended.
•
Only the supplied spacer blocks and mounting claws must be used to install the battery box to the chassis frame rail.
•
If different mounting bolts are used, they must be Grade 5 and of the correct length. DO NOT cut off excessive length
bolts.
•
Verify the upper and lower battery box mounting bolts are square and flat with the chassis frame rail before
tightening.
•
The mounting hardware securing the battery box to the tractor’s frame must be correctly positioned and torqued
using the four-step tightening sequence described in this manual.
