A/C CONDENSER INSTALLATION
Keep all the A/C fittings capped and sealed until the installation of the refrigeration hoses. Refrigerant oil is extremel y hygroscopi c and a system left open for more than 5 minutes may requir e extensive evacuation/dehydration time to remove moisture.
Verify all measurements before drilling any mountin g holes.
Verify there is no interference with any OEM electrical wiring, internal supports, etc. before drilling mounting holes.
Confirm the condenser location does not interfere with the service or operation of existing tractor components.
Provide protection to the tractor’s interior and or exterior finish to prevent damage during the installation process.
Use the stainless steel mounting hardware (supplied in the kit) to mount the condenser.
Use the large fender washers (supplied in kit) inside the sleeper to provide additional support.
All mounting holes must be sealed with silicone caulking to prevent Moisture or fumes from entering the sleeper.
A/C EVAPORATOR/C ONTROL BOX INSTALLATION
This installation requires a two-person or mechanically assisted lift.
Keep all the A/C fittings capped and sealed until the installation of the refrigeration hoses. Refrigerant oil is
extremely hygroscopic and a system left open for more than 5 minutes may require extensive evacuation/dehydration time to remove moisture.
Determine the best location for the A/C Evaporator/Con trol Box inside the sleeper, typically under th e bunk and f lush
to the front bulkhead.
Allow adequate clearance for attac hi ng the t wo air out le t t ub es.
Verify there is no interference with any OEM electrical wiring, internal floor supports, etc. before drilling any mounting
holes in the tractor.
The Evaporator/Control Box should be mounted directly onto the floor mat inside the sleeper. Use the supplied
template to properly locate the drain and mounting holes.
Always install the drain valves (kazoos) into drain holes located on the bottom pan of the evaporator.
The A/C vents should be located and installed to provide maximum air circulation in the sleeper such as: MEDIUM
(above lower bunk level) and HIG H (above up per bunk level). NOTE: Locating a ve nt LOW (floor level) is not recommended. It will significantly reduce driver comfort and reduce maximum system run time.
All mounting holes must be sealed with silicone caulk to prevent moisture or exhaust fume s from entering the
sleeper.
All edges of access holes made in f iberglass and wood composite floors must be sealed correctly with fiberglass cloth
and resin.

mounting plate and gasket.
All edges of access holes made in f iberglass and wood composite f loors must be sealed correctly with f iberglass cloth
and resin.
Outside air intake and exhaust hoses must be installed correctly for the heater to operate safely.
Exhaust hose should be mounted slightly downwards to help drain off condensation.
Install exhaust hose so it will maintain a minimum distance of 2.00 inches (50.8 mm) from any heat sensitive or
flammable material.
Inside air inlet and outlet ducts must be installed correctly for the heater to operate safely:
Pulse type fuel pump outlet must be installed at a 15 to 35 degree angle up from horizontal to operate correctly.
Fuel pickup tube must be installed correctly in the fuel tank or the heater will not operate.
Fuel line from the pickup tube to the fuel pump to the heater should be routed at a continuous rise. Use a hose cutter
or sharp knife to cut plastic fuel lines. Do no t use a wire cutter as this will pinch the plastic fuel line closed.
Do not route electrical wires, harness or battery cables together with fuel lines.
BEFORE operating the heater, the fuel lines must be bled of air using the Heater Priming Harness (204-1144) or
damage to the fuel pump will result.

Tractor and APU Battery Recommendations
Tractor’s Batteries
The tractor’s batteries should not be allowed to become discharged during the APU installation process. Always connect a battery charger to the tractor’s batteries before beginning the installation.
An alternative method is to shut the tractor’s battery power completely off using the OEM main battery discon nect switch if available.
For base level performance - tractor battery box must have four 12Vdc batteries connected in parallel to provide 12Vdc output.
For optimum level performance - Thermo King recommends the tractor batteries be upgraded to Thermo King NXT 1150 CCA absorbed glass mat (AGM) batteries.
NXT AGM Batteries Charge Maintenance
Thermo King NXT AGM batteries are shipped fully charged. Fully charged NXT AGM batteries that are kept in stock should not require charging for 2 ye ars if ke pt be l ow 77 F (25 C ). NX T AGM batt e ries should be ch a rged w hen th e open circuit voltage (OCV) falls below 12.50 volts.
To charge the NXT AGM battery, use the following guidelin e s:
1. Verif y the output vo ltage of y our batter y charger is capable of maintaining 14.1 to 14.7 chargin g voltage. The
recommended charging voltage range for the NXT AGM battery is 14.1 to 14.7 volts. Voltages are to be measured at the battery terminals with the battery connected to the charger.
IMPORTANT: Never exceed 15 volts when charging the NXT AGM battery. Exceeding 15 volts will cause pressure relief valves to open and out-gas hydrogen and oxygen from inside the battery. This will shorten the life of the battery and could lead to premature battery failure.
2. Battery chargers with the batte ry type output setting should be set to AGM type battery. Do not set the output
type to gel cell or maintenance free settings.
3. Determine if your battery charger is an automatic or manual charger. Manual battery chargers must be closely
monitored during the charge period and for this reason an automatic battery charger is preferred over a manual charger.
a. Automatic battery chargers either charge up to a preset voltage and shut off, or charge to a present
voltage and then switch to a trickle charge mode. Either one of these battery chargers is acceptable: however, the automatic charger that shuts off may not fully charge the battery.
b. Manual battery chargers will have manual controls for setting the charge amperage rate. The charge
amperage rate will remain the same until the battery charger is manually shut off.
NOTE: When using a manual battery charger, set the charger to charge at 10 or 20 amps and limit the charging time based on the batteries state of charge (SOC). Use the chart below as a general guide to determine the amount of time necessary to charge the battery. DO NOT overcharge the battery.

WARNING: Overcharging can damage the battery and possibly cause a fire or explosion. Follow the battery charger’s recommendations for monitoring batteries while charging. Batteries should be monitored while charging for signs of internal problems. Signs of internal problems include bulging cases, extreme gassing, pungent smell, and extreme heat. If you notice any of these signs turn the charger off and allow the battery to stabilize before handling or testing.
Cleaning a Battery
Use a damp cloth to clean the top of the battery to eliminate conductive paths created by dirt and dried or wet electrolyte, and to prevent corrosion. Use a battery terminal-cleaning tool that has nonco nductive (plastic or r ubber) cover to clean the battery terminals when corrosion is present. Replace any battery cables (or cable terminals) that are frayed, corroded, swelled, or damaged to the extent that they cannot be cleaned.
Battery Hold Down Hardware
Batteries are subjected to extreme shock loads and vibration. It is very important to make sure each battery is secured by the proper mounting hardware. Failure to secure each battery correctly can result in premature battery failure. Using a torque wrench, torque the hold down nuts in two step increments:
STEP 1 - Torque ea ch ho ld down nut to 60 in-lbs. (6.8 Nm)
STEP 2 - Torque each hold down nut to 120 to 144 in-lbs. (13.5 to 16.3 Nm)
Battery Cable Mo un tin g
On threaded stud type batteries, use only stainless steel nuts to fasten the cable to the battery. Torque the nut to 150 to 200 in-lbs. (17 to 22 .5 Nm).
On SAE post type batteries, use o nly stainless steel battery clamp bolts. Torque the nut to 60 in-lbs. (7 Nm).

IMPORTANT: Keep all the A/C fittings capped and sealed until the installa tion of the refrigeration hoses. Refrigerant oil is extremely hygroscopic and a system left open for more than 5 minutes may require extensive evacuation/dehydration time to remove moisture.
Maximum cooling is obtained when evaporator inlet is installed flush with the bulkhead. This allows the hot air from the sleeper to be drawn directly into the return air inlet filter, through the evaporator coil and out the discharge air vents.
Template
The supplied template represent the amount of area needed to accommodate the Evaporator/Control Box and it also provides the locations for the mounting feet, drain holes and the two 2" access holes. One hole on each side of the Evaporator/Control Box. If there is not enough room for the hole near the Controller, an optional larger hole can be cut near the refrigeration hoses. The controller harnesses will wrap around the end of the Evaporator/Control Box.
IMPORTANT ACCESS HOLE INFORMATION:
The actual location of the 2” access holes will be determined by your particular sleeper construction, including
OEM internal floor supports, electr ic a l wiring, etc.
Before drilling any holes, check for interference with internal wires, supports or interior panels. Avoid drilling
into the truck’s support membe rs.
Floors made from fiberglass covered wood construction require the edges of the access holes be completely
sealed with fiberglass and epoxy resin.
