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.
Specific Warning, Caution, and Notice Statements To help identify the label hazards on the unit and explain the level of awareness each one carries, an explanation is given with the appropriate consequences: DANGER: Warns against an immediate hazard which WILL result in severe personal injury or death. WARNING: Warns against hazards or unsafe conditions which COULD result in severe personal injury or death.

Do not use a nitrogen cylinder without a pressure regulator. (See Figure 4-6) Cylinder pressure is approximately 2350 psi (160 bar). Do not use oxygen in or near a refrigerant system as an explosion may occur. Under no circumstances should anyone attempt to repair the microprocessor module or Cab Command! Should a problem develop with these components, contact your nearest Carrier Transicold dealer for replacement.
