First Aid
FROST BITE: In the event of frost bite, the objectives of First Aid are to
protect the frozen area from further injury, to warm the affected area
rapidly and to maintain respiration.
EYES: For contact with liquid, immediately flush eyes with large amounts
of water and get prompt medical attention.
SKIN: Flush area with large amounts of lukewarm water. Do not apply
heat. Remove contaminated clothing and shoes. Wrap burns with dry,
sterile, bulky dressing to protect from infection/injury. Get medical
attention. Wash contaminated clothing before reuse.
INHALATION: Move victim to fresh air and use CPR or mouth-to-mouth
ventilation, if necessary. Stay with victim until arrival of emergency
medical personnel.

NOTE:
In case of eye contact, immediately flush with plenty of water
for at least 15 minutes. CALL A PHYSICIAN. Wash skin with soap and
water.
WARNING: Improperly installed battery could result in a fire or
explosion! A Thermo King approved battery must be installed
and properly secured to the battery tray.
WARNING: Improperly installed battery cables could result in
fire or explosion! Battery cables must be installed, routed and
secured properly to prevent them from rubbing, chaffing or
making contact with hot, sharp or rotating components.
WARNING: Do not attach fuel lines or any additional wiring
harnesses to the battery cables as this could cause an
electrical fire!
CAUTION: Do not connect other manufacturer’s equipment or
accessories to the Thermo King unit. This could result in
severe damage to equipment and void the warranty!
CAUTION: Set all unit electrical controls to the OFF position
before connecting battery cables to the battery to prevent unit
from starting unexpectedly and causing personal injury.
CAUTION: Always wear protective clothing, gloves and eye
wear when handling and installing batteries. Battery acid can
cause serious burns when exposed to eyes or skin. If battery
acid contacts skin or clothing, wash immediately with soap
and water. If acid enters your eye, immediately flood it with
running cold water for at least twenty minutes and get medical
attention immediately.
CAUTION: Always cover battery terminals to prevent them
from making contact with metal components during battery
installation. Battery terminals grounding against metal could
cause the battery to explode.
WARNING: Although fluorocarbon refrigerants are classified
as safe refrigerants, certain precautions must be observed
when handling them or servicing a unit in which they are
used. When released to the atmosphere in the liquid state,
fluorocarbon refrigerants evaporate rapidly, freezing anything
they contact.
WARNING: Avoid refrigeration oil contact with the eyes. Avoid
prolonged or repeated contact of refrigeration oil with skin or
clothing. Wash thoroughly after handling refrigeration oil to
prevent irritation.
