General Safety Practices
DDAANNGGEERR
RRiisskk ooff IInnjjuurryy!!
Keep hands and loose clothing clear of fans and belts at all times when the
unit is operating with the doors open.
WWAARRNNIINNGG
RRiisskk ooff IInnjjuurryy!!
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.
WWAARRNNIINNGG
RRiisskk ooff IInnjjuurryy!!
Temperatures above 120 degrees F (50 degrees C) can cause serious burns.
Use an infrared thermometer or other temperature measuring device
before touching any potentially hot surfaces.
CCAAUUTTIIOONN

Battery Installation and Cable Routing
WWAARRNNIINNGG
HHaazzaarrdd ooff EExxpplloossiioonn!!
An improperly installed battery could result in a fire, explosion, or injury. A
Thermo King approved battery must be installed and properly secured to
the battery tray.
WWAARRNNIINNGG
HHaazzaarrdd ooff EExxpplloossiioonn!!
Improperly installed battery cables could result in a fire, explosion, or
injury. Battery cables must be installed, routed, and secured properly to
prevent them from rubbing, chaffing, or making contact with hot, sharp, or
rotating components.
TK 61651-18-OP-EN

WWAARRNNIINNGG
FFiirree HHaazzaarrdd!!
Do not attach fuel lines to battery cables or electrical harnesses. This has
the potential to cause a fire and could cause serious injury or death.
A battery can be dangerous. A battery contains a flammable gas that can
ignite or explode. A battery stores enough electricity to burn you if it
discharges quickly. A battery contains battery acid that can burn you.
Always wear goggles or safety glasses and personal protective equipment
when working with a battery. If you get battery acid on you, immediately
flush it with water and get medical attention.
WWAARRNNIINNGG
HHaazzaarrdd ooff EExxpplloossiioonn!!
Always cover battery terminals to prevent them from making contact with
metal components during battery installation. Battery terminals grounding
against metal could cause the battery to explode.
Set all unit electrical controls to the OFF position before connecting battery
cables to the battery to prevent unit from starting unexpectedly and causing
personal injury.
NNOOTTIICCEE
EEqquuiippmmeenntt DDaammaaggee!!
Do not connect other manufacturer’s equipment or accessories to the unit
unless approved by Thermo King. Failure to do so can result in severe
damage to equipment and void the warranty.

Refrigerant
Although fluorocarbon refrigerants are classified as safe, use caution when
working with refrigerants or in areas where they are being used.
DDAANNGGEERR
HHaazzaarrddoouuss GGaasseess!!
Refrigerant in the presence of an open flame, spark, or electrical short
produces toxic gases that are severe respiratory irritants which can cause
serious injury or possible death.
DDAANNGGEERR
RReeffrriiggeerraanntt VVaappoorr HHaazzaarrdd!!
Do not inhale refrigerant. Use caution when working with refrigerant or a
refrigeration system in any confined area with a limited air supply.
Refrigerant displaces air and can cause oxygen depletion, resulting in
suffocation and possible death.
Refrigerant in a liquid state evaporates rapidly when exposed to the
atmosphere, freezing anything it contacts. Wear butyl lined gloves and
other clothing and eye wear when handling refrigerant to help prevent
frostbite.

Refrigerant Oil
Observe the following precautions when working with or around refrigerant
oil:
Protect your eyes from contact with refrigerant oil. The oil can cause serious
eye injuries. Protect skin and clothing from prolonged or repeated contact
with refrigerant oil. To prevent irritation, wash your hands and clothing
thoroughly after handling the oil. Rubber gloves are recommended.
First Aid

•EEyyeess:: For contact with liquid, immediately flush eyes with large amounts
of water and get prompt medical attention.
•SSkkiinn:: Flush area with large amounts of warm water. Do not apply heat.
Remove contaminated clothing and shoes. Wrap burns with dry, sterile,
bulky dressing to protect from infection. Get prompt medical attention.
Wash contaminated clothing before reuse.

Resuscitation (CPR) or mouth-to-mouth resuscitation to restore
breathing, if necessary. Stay with victim until emergency personnel
arrive.

protect the frozen area from further injury, warm the affected area
rapidly, and to maintain respiration.

EELLEECCTTRRIICCAALL SSHHOOCCKK
Take IMMEDIATE action after a person has received an electrical shock. Get
quick medical assistance, if possible.
The source of the shock must be quickly stopped, by either shutting off the
power or removing the victim. If the power cannot be shut off, the wire
should be cut with an non-conductive tool, such as a wood-handle axe or
thickly insulated cable cutters. Rescuers should wear insulated gloves and
safety glasses, and avoid looking at wires being cut. The ensuing flash can
cause burns and blindness.
If the victim must be removed from a live circuit, pull the victim away with a
non-conductive material. Use wood, rope, a belt or coat to pull or push the
victim away from the current. DO NOT TOUCH the victim. You will receive a
shock from current flowing through the victim’s body. After separating the
victim from power source, immediately check for signs of a pulse and
respiration. If no pulse is present, start Cardio Pulmonary Resuscitation
(CPR). If a pulse is present, respiration might be restored by using mouth-tomouth resuscitation. Call for emergency medical assistance.
AASSPPHHYYXXIIAATTIIOONN
Move victim to fresh air and use Cardio Pulmonary Resuscitation (CPR) or
mouth-to-mouth resuscitation to restore breathing, if necessary. Stay with
victim until emergency personnel arrive.
