This manual is published for informational purposes only and the information being furnished herein should not be considered as all-inclusive or meant to cover all contingencies. If further information is required, consult your Thermo King Service Directory for the location and telephone number of the local dealer. All service requirements, major and minor, should be handled by a Thermo King dealer for four very important reasons: They are equipped with the factory recommended tools to perform all service functions. They have factory trained and certified technicians. They are stocked with genuine Thermo King replacement parts. The warranty on your new unit is valid when the repair and/or replacement of component parts is performed by an authorized Thermo King dealer.

Performing pre-trip checks and enroute inspections on a regular basis will minimize on the road operating problems. A closely followed maintenance program will also help keep your unit in top operating condition. If factory recommended procedures are followed, you will find that you have purchased the most efficient and dependable temperature control system available.

Safety Precautions

Safety Precautions
Thermo King recommends that all services be performed by a Thermo King dealer. However, there are several general safety practices which you should be aware of: WARNING: Always wear goggles or safety glasses when working with or around the refrigeration system or battery. Refrigerant or battery acid can cause permanent damage if it comes in contact with your eyes. WARNING: Never operate the unit with the compressor discharge valve closed. Compressors can explode, causing serious injury. WARNING: Keep hands and loose clothing clear of fans and belts at all times when the unit is running or when opening or closing compressor service valves or serious injury may result. CAUTION: Use extreme care when drilling holes in the unit. Drilling into electrical wiring or refrigerant lines could cause a fire. Never drill into structural components. WARNING: Exposed coil fins can cause painful lacerations. Service work on the evaporator or condenser coils is best left to a certified Thermo King technician. WARNING: Electric welding generates high amperage currents which can damage electrical and electronic components. To minimize damage, prior to any welding operation on the vehicle the microprocessor and unit battery must be electrically disconnected from the vehicle. Turn off the Microprocessor On/Off switch. Remove the negative battery cable. Remove all connectors from the rear of the microprocessor. Close the control box. Connect the welder ground cable as close as possible to the area being welded. When welding is completed, remove the welder ground cable. Reconnect the cables to the rear of the microprocessor. Reattach the negative battery cable. Turn the microprocessor on/off switch to on. Reset all alarms and codes to previous settings. Run a full Pretrip. A detailed procedure may be found in Thermo King Service Procedure A26A.

Safety Precautions

Operating Instructions

After Start Inspection

Setpoint: Adjust the setpoint above and below the box temperature to check operation. The unit should heat when the setpoint is raised, and should cool when the setpoint is lowered. Precooling: With the setpoint at the correct temperature, allow the unit to run for 30 minutes (longer if possible) before loading the truck. Precooling will remove residual body heat and moisture from the box interior and provide a good test of the refrigeration system. Defrost: When the unit has finished pre-cooling the truck interior (the evaporator temperature has dropped below 35 F, initiate a manual defrost. See Initiate Manual Defrost on page 12.

Loading Procedure
1. Make sure that the unit is OFF before opening the doors to minimize frost accumulation on the evaporator coil and heat gain in the truck. NOTE: An optional external door switch will turn unit off when the doors are opened. NOTE: The unit may be running when the truck is being loaded from a warehouse with door seals. 2. 3. Spot check and record the load temperature while loading. Especially note any off-temperature product. Load the product so there is adequate space for air circulation completely around the load. DO NOT block the evaporator inlet or outlet. Products should be precooled before loading. Thermo King units are designed to maintain loads at the temperature at which they are loaded. Transport refrigeration units are not designed to pull hot loads down to temperature.
