SECTION 1

Safety Summary

1.1

General Safety Notices

The following general safety notices supplement the specific warnings and cautions appearing elsewhere in this
manual. They are recommended precautions that must be understood and applied during operation and mainte-
nance of the equipment covered herein. The general safety notices are presented in the following three sections
labeled: First Aid, Operating Precautions and Maintenance Precautions. A listing of the specific warnings and cau-
tions appearing elsewhere in the manual follows the general safety notices.

Your Carrier Transicold refrigeration unit has been designed with the safety of the operator in mind. During normal
operation, all moving parts are fully enclosed to help prevent injury. During all pre-trip inspections, daily inspec-
tions, and problem troubleshooting, you may be exposed to moving parts. Stay clear of all moving parts when the
unit is in operation and when the ON/OFF switch is in the ON position. No work should be performed on the unit
until standby and battery power supply is disconnected.

1.2

First Aid

An injury, no matter how slight, should never go unattended. Always obtain first aid or medical attention immediately.

1.3

Operating Precautions

• Always wear safety glasses. Wear hearing protection as required.

• Keep hands, clothing and tools clear of the evaporator and condenser fans.

• No work should be performed on the unit until all circuit breakers and the Emergency Switch are turned off,

and battery power supply is disconnected.

• Always work in pairs. Never work on the equipment alone.

• In case of severe vibration or unusual noise, stop the unit and investigate.

1.4

Maintenance Precautions

Beware of unannounced starting of the unit. This unit is equipped with Auto-Start in both the road and standby
modes. The unit may start at any time.

Be sure power is turned off before working on motors, controllers, solenoid valves and electrical control switches.
Tag circuit breaker and vehicle ignition to prevent accidental energizing of circuit.

Do not bypass any electrical safety devices, e.g. bridging an overload, or using any sort of jumper wires. Problems
with the system should be diagnosed, and any necessary repairs are performed by qualified service personnel.

When performing any arc welding on the unit or box, container, or trailer, disconnect all wire harness connectors
from the microprocessor. Do not remove wire harness from the modules unless you are grounded to the unit frame
with a static safe wrist strap. In case of electrical fire, extinguish with CO

(never use water).

1.5

Refrigerants

The refrigerant contained in your unit can cause frostbite, severe burns, or blindness when in direct contact with
the skin or eyes. For this reason, and because of legislation regarding the handling of refrigerants during system
service, we recommend that you contact your nearest Carrier Transicold authorized repair facility whenever your
unit requires refrigeration system service.
