Warnings, Cautions, and Notes
Key symbols and “signal words” are used to indicate
what kind of message is going to follow. Pay special
attention to instructions prefaced by symbols and signal
words “WARNING”, “CAUTION”, or “NOTE”. Please do
not ignore any of these alerts.
WARNING!
When you see this symbol and word, the messa g e th a t
follows is especially vital. This signals something that
can cause injury or even death. This message will tell
you what the hazard is, what can happen if you don’t
heed the warning, and/or how to avoid it.
CAUTION
• The air conditioning system uses HFC134a
(R134a) refrigerant and polyvinyl ether (PVE)
refrigerant oil, which are not compatible with
CFC-12 (R12) refrigerant, mineral oil, or PAG
oil. If the refrigerants or oils are mixed the compressor may fail.
• Do not attempt to use R-12 servicing equipment;
damage
ing equipment will result.
• Use only service equipment that is U.L. listed and
is
to remove HFC134a (R134a) from the air conditioning system.
• Verify the HFC134a (R134a ) refri gerant i n the vehi cle system and the recycling equipment/recovery
ank are contaminant free by using a refrigerant

NOTE
Take care to follow the handling procedures below:
• Only use the specified FV
sealed container.
• Immediately reseal containers of oil.
• To avoid contamination, do not return oil to original
tainer once it is dispensed, and never mix it
con
with other refrigerant oils.
• Do not allow PVE oil to come in contact with Styrofoam parts. Damage may occur.
• Do not allow PVE oil to come in c
cle paint. Damage may occur.
• If any connection in the refrigerant loop is opened it

Important Safety Notices
WARNING!
Improper practices, carelessness, or ignoring any
warnings may cause death, personal injury, equipment
or property damage.
Read and understand all of the safety precautions and
nings before performing any repair. This list contains
war
the general safety precautions that must be followed to
provide personal safety. Special safety precautions are
included in the procedures when they apply.
Work areas should be dry, well lit, ventilated, and be free
m clutter, loose tools, parts, ignition sources and haz-
fro
ardous substances. Be aware of ha
that can exist.
• Wear protective glasses and protective shoes when
working.
• Rotating parts can cause cuts, mutilation or strangulation.

charge any capacitors.
• Disconnect the air starting motor, if equipped, to prevent accidental engine starting.

• Allow the engine to cool before beginning any repair.
• Always use blocks or proper stands to support the
icle or vehicle components before performing any
veh
service work. Do not work on anything that is supported only by lifting jacks or a hoist.
• To reduce the possibility of personal injury, use a
ist or get assistance when lifting components that
ho
weigh 23 kg [50 lb] or more. Ensure all lifting devices
such as chains, hooks, or slings are in good condition and are of the correct load capacity. Make sure

• Do not perform any repair when impaired, tired,
fatigued or after consuming alcohol or drugs that can
impair your functioning.
• Some state and federal agencies in the United States
of America have determined that used engine oil can
be carcinogenic and can cause reproductive toxicity.
Avoid inhalation of vapors, ingestion, and prolonged
contact with used engine oil.
• Liquefied petroleum gas is heavier than air and can
accumulate near the floor, in sumps, and low-lying
areas.

G. Evaporator Blower
This blower pulls air through the evaporator coil and
blows conditioned air into the interior of the sleeper.
H. Condenser Fan
This blower draws air through the condenser coil to cool
the refrigerant flowing through the system.
This device monitors the auxiliary batteries for state of
charge, communicates with the EHVAC system and controls the battery separator solenoid. LED light on this
vice indicates power to the device and does not pro-

J. Battery Separator
This device connects the truck batteries to the EHVAC
batteries. When the starting batteries are at or above
13.2 volts, the battery management device will engage
the solenoid to allow the alternator to charge the auxiliary
batteries. When the voltage drops to or below 12.5 vo lts
the battery management system will disengage the solenoid to prevent the truck starting batteries from being dis charged below the engine start level.

D. Evaporator Inlet Filter
This filter protects the evaporator coil from dust and
debris. It is washable and should be serviced periodically
during routine maintenance.
