5. BEFORE FITTING THE SKIMO A/C UNIT

Prior to fitting and using the Skimo A/C unit, check the following points:

Cabin volume: Ideally the volume of the cabin is approximately 2m3 but if it is over 3m3 the performances of the Skimo
A/C unit will decrease.

Cabin insulation: The cabin walls must be properly insulated, especially from important heat sources (engine, exhaust
pipe, hydraulic system …). SNDC SAS cannot be held responsible in the case of poor performances of the Skimo A/C unit
caused by poor cabin insulation.

Ceiling thickness: The ceiling thickness must be between 3mm and 60mm. If it is over 60mm, an additional plate can be
fitted to fasten the cabin panel. In this case, the four M8 screws used to fasten the Skimo A/C unit on the roof must be
replaced by M8 screws adapted regarding their length and mechanical characteristics.

Electrical power:
The machine or vehicle engine must be equipped with an alternator able to supply the electrical power
required from the vehicle or machine AND from the Skimo A/C unit. The Skimo A/C unit maximal
consumption is 960W (80 Amps to 90 Amps for a 24V unit). If the vehicle or the machine is equipped with
an alternator that is not powerful enough, it must be replaced by a suitable alternator.

Roof and ceiling:
Do not alter or make a hole in the cabin of vehicles that are certified « FOPS-ROPS »
The roof must be stiff and strong enough for the Skimo A/C unit to be installed on. If it is not the case, the
roof must be reinforced.
The Skimo A/C unit must not be installed if it would affect the stability of the vehicle or machine it is
installed on, or if it would create excessive strains on its structure.
Make sure using the drawing showing the dimensions of the unit and the cut-out area that there is enough
space to fit the unit on the roof and the cabin panel inside the cabin.
The surface on which the Skimo A/C unit is installed must be flat and horizontal (+/- 5°).
The cabin panel must be installed inside the cabin, and the user must be able to access the controls from
his driving position while using the vehicle or machine.

Cantilevered installation:
The Skimo A/C unit can be mounted in a cantilevered position. In this case, the maximum cantilever

10. ELECTRICAL CONNECTION

There are two possible ways to lay out the electrical cables:

- Inside the cabin (recommended), through one of the cabin frame post for example.

- Outside the cabin.

In both cases the installer must make sure that the cables are insulated and protected from any risk
of deterioration or tear-up (from branches for example) and that they do not present any risk for people or
appliances.

10.a Case of the cables being laid out inside the cabin:

1. Remove the grommet at the bottom
of the black evaporator casing

2. Create two holes in the grommet
and insert both cables through it.

3. Insert the cables in the hole from
which you removed the grommet, ease
them out inside the cabin through the
unit air intake cut out, and set the
grommet back in place. Make sure the
grommet is waterproof

10.b Case of the cables being laid out outside the cabin:

Make a hole on the white outer Skimo casing (the lower part), lay the cable out through this hole with a grommet.

Do not lay the cables out near the motor and compressor belt located at the back of the unit.

Once the cables laid out, connect them as follows:

1. Take the 2 nuts of the motor (+)
terminal off. Insert the red cable
through the rubber cover.

2. Screw the nuts back on onto the red
cable and red wires crimp terminals
and the washer.

3. Put the rubber cover back into
place. Repeat 1 and 2 on the motor (-)
terminal with the ground black cable
and wires.

4. Connect the cables to the battery or to the alternator. The fuse housing with its fuse 100Amps for 24VOLTS must be
fitted on the red positive cable less than 15cm away from the crimp terminal connected to the (+) terminal of the battery
or of the alternator.

13 SKIMO A/C UNIT USE

The Skimo A/C unit is designed to run when the vehicle’s engine is running. If the unit is turned on

while the vehicle’s engine is off, the alternator will not feed the unit and there is a risk of battery
discharge.

The ability of the Skimo A/C unit to maintain the required temperature inside the cabin depends on the amount of
heat that penetrates inside the cabin. Some preventive measures are necessary to lower the amount of heat that enters
the cabin and to improve the performances of the Skimo A/C unit:

- Park the machine or the vehicle in the shade.

- Drive for a few minutes with the windows opened to lower the temperature inside the cabin before turning the

A/C unit on.

- Keep the doors and windows closed while using the A/C unit.

- Avoid using devices that produce heat.

Operating modes:

- Once the Skimo A/C unit is installed and the vehicle’s engine is running, turn the control panel ventilation speed selector
switch to first speed to turn the unit on. The first ventilation speed and the air conditioning are turned on.

- Adjust the ventilation speed to 1, 2 or 3 according to your requirement with the ventilation speed selector switch.

- To switch the unit off, turn the ventilation speed selector switch to 0.

Switch the Skimo A/C unit off if the vehicle’s or machine’s engine runs on low speed for an extended amount of
time (for over 15 minutes). If not, there is a potential risk of battery discharge due to the fact that the alternator might
not supply enough power when the engine runs at low speed. The Skimo A/C unit would turn to security mode. If that
happens, refer to section 14.

It is normal for the internal thermostat to regulate the A/C unit if the blowing temperature is too low, in which case
the blowers still run but the air conditioning is turned off for a while.

SNDC SAS cannot be held responsible for condensation appearing on the cabin’s surfaces. The air contains moisture

that tends to condensates on cold surfaces. Appropriate cabin insulation can prevent or lover the risks of condensation.

14 REPAIRS

If the A/C circuit hasn’t got the correct amount of gas, the performances of the A/C system will lower. If it seems
that your Skimo A/C unit doesn’t work properly, you should take it to an A/C specialist.

Never try to repair faults by your own means. Repair and recharge of an A/C circuit must be carried

out by a specialist that is qualified, certified, equipped with necessary tools and that will use original spare
parts.

If one of the security systems is activated, the air conditioning system is turned off (no more cold
production) and the default light is switched on on the control panel.
To reset the Skimo A/C unit after a security cut off, turn it off and on again. A security cut off should
not be a recurring feature. In the case of repeated cut offs, contact your qualified specialist.
