SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

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 unit RUN/STOP Switch (RSS) is in the START/RUN position.
Under no circumstances should anyone attempt to repair the Logic or Display Boards! Should
a problem develop with these components, contact your nearest Carrier Transicold dealer for
replacement.
Under no circumstances should a technician electrically probe the processor at any point,
other than the connector terminals where the harness attaches. Microprocessor components
operate at different voltage levels and at extremely low current levels. Improper use of voltme-
ters, jumper wires, continuity testers, etc. could permanently damage the processor.
Most electronic components are susceptible to damage caused by electrical static discharge
(ESD). In certain cases, the human body can have enough static electricity to cause resultant
damage to the components by touch. This is especially true of the integrated circuits found on
the truck/trailer microprocessor.

FIRST AID

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