1.5 WORK SAFETY HIGH ABOVE THE GROUND


(1) Working High Above the Ground - Dangers and Precautions

Dangers While Working High Above the Ground


• When a person is on the ground, loss of balance rarely leads to grave injury. However, when working high
above the ground, a slight loss of balance could cause a person to fall fatally. If a person is working at a
height of 2 meters or more, the extent of injury magnifies, and at a height of 5 meters or more, the fatality
rate increases considerably. To prevent this type of disaster, appropriate facility measures, such as pro-
viding footing or lift equipment, must be taken. At the same time, the use of protective equipment and the
implementation of operations standards must be rigidly enforced, and proper work instructions must be
provided.

Dangers of Workers Falling


• The risk of falling is an inherent danger when working high above the ground. Thus, proper precautions
must be taken to prevent exposure to dangerous situations.

Causes of Falling
• Lack of knowledge or skill in working high above the ground.
• 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

(3) Preparations for Working High Above the Ground

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

[ Wearing a Safety Belt ]

Be sure to wear safety belt for high lift work on the roof mounted type air conditioning unit, in order
to prevent critical injury.

< Check before Wearing >

(1) No damage on rope or belt? Buckle Rope


(2) No deformation or damage on hook or buckle? D-ring

< Caution for Wearing > Hook


Belt
(1) Wear the belt around your lower waist.
(2) Properly pass the belt through the buckle and secure the end.
3 (3) Install the D-ring so that it runs from the side to the rear.

< Attachable Items and Positions >

(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.

(4) Installing a Ladder

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.

Securing the Ladder


• The area at the top of the ladder, which comes in contact with the bus body, must be wrapped with rubber
or sponge sheet to secure the ladder in place, thus preventing it from shifting or sliding, as well as from
damaging the bus body.
• When leaning the ladder against the bus, the angle of the ladder to the ground must be between 60 to 75
degrees.
• Use two suction lifters and secure the ladder with a rope.

Wrap sponge sheet on the area of the ladder that comes in contact with the vehicle,
thus preventing the ladder from shifting.
(Approximately 10 mm thick material wrapped in layers, to a width of 30 to 40 mm)

(5) Precautions While Working High Above the Ground

Precaution
• Thoroughly observe the precautions listed below while working high above the ground.

WARNING
Perform work high above the ground only after taking the
appropriate fall prevention measures.

Two people must work together when carrying the upper cover
of the unit case. If this operation is performed by only one people,
it could result in a serious accident such as a fall.

Use a suspended bag to hand tools or parts to the worker (they must never be thrown).
After completing the operation on top of the roof, make sure not to leave any tools behind.

Don't leave
things behind

Use a suspended bag

While working on top of the roof, position yourself in an area of the roof under which reinforcement
4 material is located, in order to prevent the roof of the bus being dented.

1.6 PRECAUTIONS FOR SAFETY INSTALLATION


1) Never carry out installation with battery cables con-
Always disconnect nected.
the negative
cable first. [ REFERENCE ]
• If installation is carried out with the power connect-
ed, a short-circuit may result.
• Always disconnect the negative cable first.
• When re-connecting the cables, be sure to connect

U003850
them to the correct terminal of the battery.

2) The bolt where specified must be torqued to the prop-


Torque Wrench
er specification. If the torque is not specified, refer to
the TIGHTENING TORQUE TABLE.

U003851

3) When installing the A/C harnesses, route them prop-

NG erly to avoid interference with surrounding parts.

U003852

4) Do not pull on vehicle wires and/or wire harnesses. To


Lock Type Connector
uncouple electrical connectors, pull only on the con-
nector itself so as not to cause damage.

NG Click [ REFERENCE ]
In the case of lock type connectors, make sure that
the connectors are unlocked before disconnecting.
When re-connecting the connectors, insert them
until a clicking noise is heard. After they are con-
U003853
nected, hold and pull them gently to check that they
are connected properly.
Operation Section
1– 13

5) Check that an O-ring is correctly installed before the


O-ring mating point.

6) Check that no dust is on the O-ring mating parts. Do


not touch the O-rings with gloves on.

Thread Dust, Duct


U003854

7) Do not apply excessive force to pipes. Do not deform


NG pipes.

8) Arrange hoses well. For example, bending or twisting


engine mounted hoses is not permitted.

[ REFERENCE ]
Reason: Resin inside the hoses may be bent or
scratched, and this may lower the permeation-

U003855 proof function.

9) Remove a shipping cap just before the connecting


pipes to keep O-rings or O-ring seals free of dust.

10) Considering installation and vehicle part deviations,


Shipping Cap confirm there is no interference between the pipes
and vehicle parts. (Keep proper clearances.)

U003856

11) Always assemble pipes using 2 wrenches.


Anticipated
Position 12) Pipes will rotate from 15° to 20° clockwise when tight-
15° ~20°
ening, so anticipate the displacement caused by rota-
tion, and then mount pipes.

13) When finally tightening pipes, do not rotate the fixed


side (the female side).

Proper Position U003857


Operation Section
1– 14

14) Before making any hose and piping connections, ap-


ply a few drops of compressor oil to the seat of the O-
ring to prevent refrigerant leakage.

Compressor Oil

U003858

15) When removing an O-ring from a pipe, use a wooden


or nylon awl to avoid damaging the pipe.

[ REFERENCE ]
Always replace the existing O-rings with new ones
specified for refrigerant HFC-134a.

U003859

Over Torquing
16) When tightening or loosening fittings, use two
wrenches to prevent the piping from twisting. After
loosening the fittings, tighten them to the specified
torque.

Loosening

U003860

17) When handling refrigerant, always wear proper eye


protection and do not allow the refrigerant to come in
contact with skin.

Trouble
mined the design of their respective air conditioning
systems. Under no circumstances allow CFC-12
R12
A/C System
(R12) to enter an HFC-134a (R134a) system, or
vice versa, because serious damage could occur.
U003863

20) Use the proper compressor oil.

[ REFERENCE ]

23) After installing the drive belt, check the belt tension
using a belt tension gauge DENSO BTG-20 or BOR-
ROUGHS BT-33-73F.

[ REFERENCE ]
• The belt tension must be measured at the center of
2 pulleys.
• The drive belt requires accurate tension adjust-
ment; a slack belt is likely to cause the belt to
U003867
whine, while excessive tension may result in dam-
age to the bearings or the idle pulley bracket.

9. COMPRESSOR

9.1 COMPRESSOR MOUNTING


z The design and manufacture of the compressor mounting and drive kit are to be carried out by the body
builder or chassis manufacturer. Consideration should be given to the following.

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.)

9.2 COMPRESSOR ROTATION SPEED

Reference
z Belt tension is an extremely important maintenance item. A belt that is too tight will wear quickly and reduce
the life of bearings.

Correct Belt Tension


• Apply 10 kg of vertical pressure at the center of the length of the belt and adjust the tension of the belt

11.7 ATTENTION ITEMS FOR INSTALLATION


(1) Hot Water Piping Installation

• Use piping that is size D1/2 (inside diameter: Ø10.7 mm) or greater. As a general rule, only use straight
piping. If a bend must be used, follow the criteria below:
9 Use as few bends as possible.
9 Make the bend radius as large as possible (at least 15 mm.)
9 Maintain a bend angle of at least 90° or greater.

Bend Radius R = At least 15 mm

Bend Angle = At least 90

U009187

• For the connections to the hot water hoses, use the piping inside the kit (140720-0200) with lips at both
ends.

Lips

U009188

(2) Hot Water Hose Installation


• The following fiber-reinforced hose is recommended to connect functional components inside the piping
kit, such as the water pump and strainer: Inner diameter Ø25 mm x board length t5 mm (outer diameter:
Ø35 mm.)
• Use clamps suited to the hose size. Additionally, check that there are no leaks from any connections
throughout the entire usage range.
• Position all functional components for shortest length of piping layout.
• Do not forcefully bend or twist straight hoses (when in use.)
Operation Section
1– 84

11.8 REQUIRED HOT WATER FLOW VOLUME


[ REFERENCE ]
To maintain the hot water flow volume between the engine and reheat cores, the position of each part and
layout of the hot water piping must be designed and installed so that flow resistance is minimized to the
greatest extent possible. The following explains general attention items for designing the hot water piping
installation.

z Maintain a flow volume of at least 14 L/min (at least 7 L/min per core) throughout the entire usage range.
z Measure the actual flow volume to determine whether the aforementioned value can be maintained. If the
flow volume cannot be measured, reference the graph below to verify that the reheat system is functioning.

The graph below only applies to the air conditioning unit (440100-753#)

Difference between Inlet Water of Reheat Core and Inlet Air Temp. [ C]

(Attention Items When Using the Chart Above)


- Use each air volume line as a guide. If the measured results fall below the line, there is a possibility
that the proper hot water flow volume dose not reached required level.
(The aforementioned assumes that both the air temperature and air volume measurements are correct.)
- Each temperature (hot water inlet, air inlet and outlet) are calculated using the temperature values directly before
and after the heater core. Therefore, measure temperature near the heater core.
- When air volume is measured with a Biram's anemometer, there is a ±10 % measurement error.
Taking this error into account, verify that there are no air leaks at the inlet or outlet before using the chart above.
It is recommended to subtract 10 % from the measurement results for evaluations based on air volume.
The air volume shown in the chart above is the total air volume for the left and right sides.

14. AIR DUCT CONSTRUCTION

14.1 AIR DUCT


[ REFERENCE ]
We suggest the following recommendations should be considered when fabricating interior ducting in order
to achieve minimum resistance to air flow and maximum efficiency from the air conditioning.

z Total air flow resistance between the inlet (return air) and horizontal air duct in the passenger compartment
should be less than 98 Pa (10 mm Aq) at 1,500 m3/H of the outlet air volume.
z Cross-sectional area of ducting : 0.04 m2 or more.
z The radius of any bends in the ducting should be as large as possible. Fit air guide vanes to reduce air flow
resistance.

17.3 MEASURING AIR VOLUME


z Measuring the cooling air volume in a vehicle is difficult, and there is no ideal method. However, air volume
can be measured using the following method.

Measuring Method
z Refer to the following table.

Measuring Method Measuring Procedure


1. Measure the outlet air Use an air flow meter gauge to measure the air velocity at
volume with an air flow each of the outlet vents. Record the results on the Recording
meter gauge. Paper for Blower Air Distribution.

Use the following formula to find the total air flow volume
V m3/h=v1 m/s n Fb 3600
V : Total air flow volume
v1 : Average air velocity value from each blow-out port
n : Total number of grills
Fb : Biram surface area
NOTE:
Even if the total air volume passes the basic standard, the
variation in average air velocity among each of the outlet
vents should be within ±15%.

2. Using an air flow meter Use the air flow meter gauge to measure the air velocity at

Use the following formula to find the total air flow volume
V m3/h=v2 m/s Fc 3600
V : Total air flow volume
v2 : Average air velocity
Fc : Area of the mesh section of the suction port

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 ."}
