General Safety Practices
- Danger
- Risk of Injury
- Keep hands and loose clothing clear of fans and belts at all times when the unit is operating with the doors open.
- Warning
- Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) Required
- A battery can be dangerous. Lithium-ion batteries are potentially hazardous. The combustion gas from these batteries is toxic and can present a serious FIRE HAZARD if damaged, defective, or improperly used. A battery stores enough electricity to burn you if it discharges quickly. Always wear goggles or safety glasses and personal protective equipment when working with a battery. Do not replace the battery with any type other than the one approved by Thermo King for this unit.
- Warning
- Risk of Injury
- 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
- Risk of Injury
- 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.
- Caution
- Sharp Edges
- Exposed coil fins can cause lacerations. Service work on the evaporator or condenser coils should only be accomplished by a certified Thermo King technician.
