Installing the transport refrigeration system
7.2.1 Information before installation
• Always use two people to lift the cartons to prevent serious injuries resulting
from incorrect handling during transport. Only handle the cartons by the
recessed grips provided and lift the cartons slowly to determine the center of
gravity when lifting.
• Before installation of the transport refrigeration system, check whether any
vehicle components could be damaged or have their function impaired as a
result of the installation.
• The components supplied must not be modified during installation. The
manufacturer only assumes liability for parts included in the scope of delivery.
The validity of the warranty expires if the device is installed together with
third-party parts.
• Check the completeness of the transport refrigeration system according to
the scope of delivery.
• Ventilation openings must not be covered over (minimum distance from
other components: 10 cm).
• Only remove the sealing caps from the DC unit, evaporator and refrigerant
hoses immediately prior to installation of the parts concerned, to ensure the
system is kept free of moisture and dust.
7.2.2 Instructions on handling cables and hose lines
• Use ductwork or cable ducts if it is necessary to lay cables through panels or
flooring with sharp edges.
• Ensure that all drill holes and through holes have a watertight closure.
• Complete the electrical wiring so that damage from sharp-edged vehicle
components is avoided.
• Do not lay loose or bent cables next to electrically conductive materials
(metal).
• Never lay power supply lines (battery leads) in the vicinity of signal or control
wires.
• For safety reasons, note the location of existing wiring harnesses, wires and
other components within the installation area, in particular those which are
not visible, when installing the transport refrigeration system (when drilling or
screwing etc.).
• Treat drill holes and cut edges with a corrosion inhibitor.
• Cover plastic piping and brake hoses before drilling or remove these if nec-
essary.
• Lay the electric cables so that they are a distance of at least 15 mm away from
rotating parts and at least 150 mm away from parts of the vehicle which
become very hot.
