3. Safety
Your Carrier Transicold refrigeration unit has been designed with the
safety of the operator in mind. During normal operation, all moving parts
are fully guarded to help prevent injury. During all pre-trip inspections,
daily inspections, and problem troubleshooting you may be exposed to
moving parts. Please stay clear of all moving parts when the unit is in
operation and when the unit main power switch is in the RUN position.
Unit may start automatically at any time even if the
switch is in the OFF position. Use proper lockout/tagout
procedures before inspection/servicing. All unit inspec-
tion/servicing by properly trained personnel only.
Under no circumstances should ether or any other
starting aids be used to start the engine.
3.1 Auto-Start/Stop
Your refrigeration unit is equipped with Auto-Start/Stop, a valuable fuel
saving feature. When the unit is set for Auto-Start/Stop operation, it may
start at any time and without warning. When performing any check of the
refrigeration unit (e.g., checking the belts, checking the oil), make certain
that the main power switch is in the OFF position.
3.2 Engine Coolant
The engine is equipped with a pressurized cooling system. Under normal
operating conditions, the coolant in the engine and radiator is under high
pressure and is very hot. Contact with hot coolant can cause severe
burns. Do not remove the cap from a hot radiator. If the cap must be
removed, do so very slowly in order to release the pressure without spray.
3.3 Refrigerants
The refrigerant contained in the refrigeration system can cause frostbite,
severe burns, or blindness when in direct contact with the skin or eyes. For
this reason and because of legislation regarding the handling of refrigerants
during system service, we recommend that whenever this unit requires
service of the refrigeration system, you contact your nearest Carrier
Transicold authorized repair facility for service.
3.4 Battery
This unit utilizes a lead-acid type battery. A lead-acid battery normally vents
small amounts of flammable hydrogen gas. Do not smoke when checking the
battery. A battery explosion can cause serious physical harm and/or blindness.
