Uncrating Procedures

I I m m p p o o r r t t a a n n t t : : Safety precautions must be followed. Refer to U U n n i i t t I I n n s s t t a a l l l l a a t t i i o o n n H H a a z z a a r r d d s s located in the S S a a f f e e t t y y P P r r e e c c a a u u t t i i o o n n s s
section of this manual before proceeding.
Thermo King T-90 series units require a 3 point lifting bar to safely install the units. While the current lifting bar will
work for installing a T-90 series unit, a new lifting bar was designed with multiple slots for improved unit balance,
which are required given the wide variety of balance points for the full range of self-powered truck units. The new lifting
bar can be made from the drawings provided in the Dimensions Section of this manual.
1. Remove kit box(s) shipped with unit.
2. Install M12 forged lifting eyebolts and washers (installer supplied) into the two rear frame locations and tighten
securely.
3. Install M12 forged lifting eyebolt, washers and locking nut (installer supplied) into the front balance point location
and tighten securely.
I I m m p p o o r r t t a a n n t t : : Installer supplied lifting eyebolts must be forged steel, 12 mm, 1.75 pitch, with a minimum thread length of
20.5 mm (0.80 in.) long. Substitutions are not acceptable!
4. Use an overhead hoist and 3 point lifting bar attached to the three eyebolts and raise unit only enough to remove
slack from the lifting bar chains.
5. Remove the four bolts securing the unit to the mounting posts. D D O O N N O O T T r r e e u u s s e e t t h h e e s s e e b b o o l l t t s s t t o o i i n n s s t t a a l l l l t t h h e e u u n n i i t t t t o o
