• Failure to use protective equipment (safety helmet, safety belt, safety shoes, etc.), or the use of defective
equipment.
• Improper or defective footing or lift equipment.
(2) Directions for Safety While Working High Above the Ground (Awareness and Actions)
Direction
• Those who work high above the ground are urged to strictly observe the following precautions in order to
ensure safe working conditions:
Before Work:
• Inspect installation tools, parts, and protective equipment (safety helmet, safety belt, safety shoes, etc.)
to make sure they are up to standard, and work in proper clothing.
• Secure the vehicle to prevent it from moving.
• Secure the ladder.
During Work:
• Two persons must work together when removing or installing large parts such as a unit case cover.
• Use a suspended bag to hand tools or parts to workers.
After Work:
• Make sure that no tools or parts are left on the roof.
Operation Section
1– 7
Preparation
• To ensure safe work high above the ground, perform the following preparations before working:
WARNING
[ Clothes and Equipment ]
Be sure to wear a work uniform, safety helmet and safety shoes during work.
1 Check that there are no cracks or internal damage, or that there are no broken
straps on the protectors.
[ Vehicle ]
Be sure to engage the side brake and use wheel chocks during work
to prevent accidents.
2
Be sure to wear safety belt for high lift work on the roof mounted type air conditioning unit, in order
to prevent critical injury.
(1) Attach the safety belt to an item from which the rope or the hook
cannot detach, and which can withstand the impact of a fall.
(2) If the item to which the rope is attached has a sharp corner,
attach it so that the rope does not come in contact with the
sharp corner (eg. by placing a patch over the corner).
(3) Attach the rope as high as possible without obstructing
work, at a height that will not allow the person to come
in contact with the ground in the event of a fall. Use as
short a rope as possible (1.5 meters maximum).
(4) Attach the rope so that the person will not come in contact
with any object while swinging in the event of a fall.
U008799
Operation Section

Direction
• A ladder is used to climb onto the roof of the bus. Properly secure the ladder by observing the precautions
listed below, and exercise utmost caution while climbing up or down the ladder.
Ladder
• The ladder must be solidly constructed and free of significant damage or rust.
• The bottom of the ladder must have non-slip pads.
• The width of the ladder must be 30 cm or more, with a uniform space of 25 to 30 cm between the rungs.
Wrap sponge sheet on the area of the ladder that comes in contact with the vehicle,
thus preventing the ladder from shifting.

Layout (1) is highly recommended. However joint is used
in vehicles where draining is only possible from one place.

the joint becomes higher than the position of the unit drain port,
making draining impossible. Install the joint as low as possible.

9. COMPRESSOR
Consideration
z As a rule, the compressor should be mounted directly on the engine block by means of a bracket. In situa-
tions where the compressor has to be mounted on the chassis, a belt tension device should be provided.
The installer should assess engine stability and distortion between the engine crank pulley and compressor,
and where possible maximize the belt length.
z Mount the compressor so that the compressor service valves are not obstructed by other components in
the engine compartment, and in such a way that the crankcase oil-level sight-glass is visible.
z The mounting bracket should not obstruct maintenance access to engine parts.
z The compressor and magnetic clutch can be replaced.
z The compressor and bracket bolts can be tightened with pre-set type torque wrench and ordinary wrench.
z Keep reasonable clearance between the compressor and other parts. (Relative movement : 30 mm or more.
No movement : 15 mm or more.)
z No combustible objects within 100 mm above the magnetic clutch.
z Do not mount the compressor near hot spots (e.g. exhaust manifold). (More than 100 mm or less than
80 °C surface temperature.)

As the example, when the distance between the belt pulleys is L = 350 mm, become G = 3 mm or less.

• The belt tension must be measured at the center of 2 pulleys.
• The drive belt requires accurate tension adjustment; a slack belt is likely to cause the belt to whine, while
excessive tension may result in damage to the bearings or the idle pulley bracket.

The wiring harness must be carefully routed to avoid damage from mechanical stress, high temperatures, and interference with other components, which can lead to electrical failures. Protection involves securing the harness with proper clamps, using tubing for insulation against high temperatures, and ensuring it does not interfere with rotating parts. Proper routing prevents electrical shorts and enhances system reliability .
The recommended procedure for installing a bus air conditioning unit involves several crucial steps to ensure effective operation and prevent potential issues. Initially, prepare the bus by constructing air inlets and outlets and performing heat insulation to enhance cooling performance . Next, installation includes setting up the flange, packing, frame, and the package unit itself, followed by the installation of the compressor, piping, and wiring . The installation requires precise measurement of the bus body to adjust the height of the flange, packing, and frame appropriately . After installation, it's essential to charge the refrigerant correctly and conduct an operation check to confirm the system's performance . Following these steps precisely is important because improper installation may lead to inadequate cooling or system failure, and also poses safety risks, including the potential for serious injury due to improper handling . Proper adherence to these procedures ensures efficient cooling performance, prevents air leakage, and maintains safety standards .
Effective sealing prevents air and water leakage, which maximizes the efficiency of the air conditioning system by maintaining the desired cooling within the bus. This includes sealing connection points with flanges and ensuring the absence of gaps in air ducts. Without proper sealing, cooled air can escape, reducing the system's effectiveness and increasing operational costs due to higher energy consumption to maintain the desired temperature .
The installation of suitable drainage systems ensures the efficient operation of a bus's air conditioning unit by preventing water accumulation that can hinder performance. Proper drainage allows the condensate generated by the air conditioning system to be effectively removed, which reduces the risk of water-related damage to the air conditioning components and adjacent parts, thus maintaining optimal performance. Additionally, correct drain hose installation is part of the standard procedure, ensuring the safe and effective removal of moisture . Failure to properly install the drainage system can lead to water buildup, which can disrupt the functioning of the air conditioning unit and reduce cooling efficiency .
The insulation of various parts of a bus significantly impacts the air conditioning system's performance by enhancing cooling efficiency. Good heat insulation in the bus body, especially on the roof and sides, increases cooling performance because it minimizes the heat transfer between the exterior and interior environments, allowing the air conditioning to maintain a stable temperature more effectively . Recommended materials for insulation include urethane foam (minimum thickness of 50 mm) with a density of 30 kg/m3 for the roof and side body plates, and tinted glass for windows to reduce heat gain . Use of a hardboard and aluminum thin film can also improve effectiveness by creating an air layer inside the inner panel . Ensuring proper sealing to minimize cool air leakage through doors and exits further optimizes the system's efficiency .
Grommets play a crucial role in protecting pipes during A/C unit installation by preventing damage where pipes penetrate the vehicle body. They help maintain the integrity of the piping system by reducing vibration and potential wear from contact with the vehicle structure . Additionally, pipes should be shielded from flying debris and stones using covers, especially if laid underneath the vehicle, or in positions vulnerable to impact . Properly securing and insulating pipes are important to prevent damage from environmental factors and minimize vibration transmission to the vehicle . Ensuring the correct mounting strength, such as containing vibration to less than 3G, further protects the piping system . These protective measures collectively maintain system integrity and operational efficiency.
Pre-construction examination is crucial when setting up air inlets and outlets on the bus roof to ensure that the A/C unit piping does not interfere with the vehicle frame, which could prevent the unit's installation . This process involves verifying that the openings are positioned correctly to avoid conflicts with structural elements of the bus, ensuring a seamless integration of components . Proper examination and preparation are also needed for the flange, packing, and frame, which are custom-fitted to the unique shape of each bus roof . Failing to properly conduct pre-construction examination could lead to installation issues and impair the functionality of the air conditioning system."}
Excessive tightening of bolts can damage the A/C unit cover, hence it is crucial to adhere to the specified tightening torques: 12.5 N·m for M8 bolts and 26.0 N·m for M10 bolts. Ensuring the bolts are tightened to these specifications prevents cover damage and maintains structural integrity . Proper torque application also prevents interference with the bus roof, which could compromise installation stability and safety . Additionally, using flat washers, LOCTITE or self-locking nuts can help secure the bolts, reducing the likelihood of them coming loose due to vibrations ."}
Checking for air leakage in window and door openings during the installation of a bus air conditioning system is crucial because air leakage can reduce cooling efficiency by allowing cool air to escape from the bus. This compromise in efficiency means the air conditioning system has to work harder to maintain the desired temperature, potentially leading to increased energy consumption and reduced system performance . Proper insulation and sealing of these areas enhance the cooling performance, ensuring that the internal environment remains comfortable and energy-efficient .
Improper lifting of the bus air conditioning unit can cause significant damage, particularly to components such as the discharge or hot water pipes by placing pressure on these parts when not lifted from the designated lifting points . Poor lifting practices can also lead to misalignment and damage to the frame, condenser, and drain pipes, if the unit is not level or is shifted improperly during placement . To prevent these issues, it is essential to lift the unit using proper equipment like lifting jigs and brackets, ensuring the four wires used for lifting are of equal length to keep the unit horizontal, and to lift between designated lifting points . Additionally, the use of cloth to cover vulnerable pipes during lifting and ensuring the unit is never placed directly on the ground are preventive measures to avoid damage . Proper placement and securing of the unit on the frame, ensuring no gaps and correct bolt alignment and torque, are crucial for preventing any additional issues during installation ."}
