General Practices
- Warning
- Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) Required
- Always wear goggles or safety glasses and proper PPE when working on a unit. Refrigerant liquid, oil, and battery acid can permanently damage your eyes. When working with or around hazardous chemicals, ALWAYS refer to the applicable Material Data Safety Sheets (MSDS) and OSHA/GHS (Global Harmonized System of Classification and Labelling of Chemicals) guidelines for information on allowable personal exposure levels, proper respiratory protection, and handling instructions.
- Warning
- Equipment Damage and Risk of Injury
- Never drill holes into the unit unless instructed by Thermo King. Holes drilled into high voltage cables could cause an electrical fire, severe personal injury, or even death.
- Warning
- Risk of Injury
- When using ladders to install or service refrigeration systems, always observe the ladder manufacturer’s safety labels and warnings. A work platform or scaffolding is the recommended method for installations and servicing.
- Notice
- Equipment Damage
- All unit mounting bolts must be installed, be the correct length for their application, and torqued to specifications. Missing bolts, incorrect bolt lengths and improper torque specifications can damage equipment and void the warranty.
