Safety Precautions
Thermo King recommends that servicing be done only by a
Thermo King dealer. However, you should be aware of several
safety practices. This chapter gives basic safety precautions for
working with Thermo King units and describes the safety
stickers on your unit that you should be familiar with.
General Safety Practices
Automatic Start/Stop Operation
This unit is capable of automatic operation and could start at
any time without warning.
WARNING: Keep hands and loose clothing clear of
fans and belts at all times when the unit is operating
with the doors open.
WARNING: Exposed coil fins can cause painful
lacerations. Service work on the evaporator or
condenser coils should be done by a certified Thermo
King technician.
WARNING: Do not apply heat to a closed cooling
system. Before applying heat to a cooling system,
drain it. Then flush it with water and drain the water.
Antifreeze contains water and ethylene glycol. The
ethylene glycol is flammable and can ignite if the
antifreeze is heated enough to boil off the water.
WARNING: The unit can start at any time without
warning. Press the O
FF key on the control panel and
place the microprocessor On/Off switch in the Off
position before inspecting or servicing any part of the
unit.
