1 Maintenance and safety
instructions
Meaning of signal words
Throughout this manual, the signal words
WARNING, IMPORTANT and NOTE have
the following meanings:
WARNING
This heading is used to highlight operating
instructions or procedures which, if not
or not correctly followed, may result in per-
sonal injury or fatal accidents.
IMPORTANT
This heading is used to highlight operating
instructions or procedures which, if not
or not correctly followed, may result in da-
mage to the equipment or its components.
NOTE
This heading is used to direct your
attention to a special feature deemed
essential to highlight.
IMPORTANT
1. The units must be installed as set out in
the installation and service manual.
2. If the vehicle height stated in the vehicle
registration document is exceeded due to
the installation of the parking cooler
system, it must be legalised through a type
approval.
3. Installation, maintenance and repair
work must be carried out by trained
personnel in authorised workshops. This
work may only be carried out with the
engine at a standstill and the power supply
switched off.
Disconnect the battery before working on
the electrical wiring.
4. As is the case with all parts of a vehicle,
the parking cooler system is continuously
subjected to a certain amount of stress
and strain. To guarantee that the system
operates correctly and to prevent any
damage to the parts,
the maintenance work must be carried out
at regular intervals.
5. The proper treatment of the system and
a record of all maintenance work are
necessary for the acceptance of any
warranty claims involving damage to parts
that require regular maintenance.
6. Irrespective of the schedule in the
installation and service manual, check all
the attachments on the unit and the
connections to ensure that they are tight
within the first four weeks of using the
parking cooler system for the first time.
7. Even if the parking cooler system is not
in use, individual components may be
subject to wear due to the normal ageing
process or the stresses or strains
generated by driving the vehicle. The
appropriate checks listed in the
maintenance and service chart in the
installation and service manual must
therefore be carried out regardless of the
time in which the system is in use.
8. The evaporator unit for cooling the air
must be renewed at least every 6 months
or in accordance with the degree of
contamination.
The filter insert in the precooling chamber
must be changed once every season or in
accordance with the degree of
contamination.
9. When the vehicle is being cleaned at a
vehicle wash, bear in mind the height of
the vehicle including the parking cooler
system.

10. The blower must be switched on at
least once every month, even in winter
time, for 10 minutes to preserve the easy
movement of all movable parts.
11. Failure to follow the installation and
service manual and the notes contained
therein will lead to all liability being refused
by Webasto. The same applies if repairs
are carried out incorrectly or with the use
of parts other than genuine spare parts.
2 General
For rapid cooling of the interior of the
vehicle when the outside temperature is
high and the sun is shining into the cab, we
recommend initially running the blower at
maximum with the cooling function
switched on. Once a pleasant interior
temperature has been achieved, you can
reduce the blower to a lower setting
according to your requirements.
If the sunshine has heated up the vehicle
considerably, we recommend opening the
doors and windows with the vehicle at a
standstill to allow ventilation to take place
before switching on the parking cooler
system.
Before starting a drive and when you have
finished your working day, check the
content of the water tank and refill if
necessary.
To avoid damage due to the water freezing
in cold weather, drain all of the water from
the parking cooler system.
If it is necessary to tilt the cab, first wait
three to four minutes after switching off the
parking cooler system to allow all the
water contained in the piping system to
drain back into the water tank.
Evaporator unit
The following guidelines must be followed:
The parking cooler system is equipped
with an evaporator unit for cooling the air.
This must be renewed every six months or
according to the level of contamination.
We recommend fitting a new evaporator
unit before the start of the hot weather
season.
Evaporator units are available from your
Webasto Installation and Service station.

WARNING!
The water tank must always be filled with
drinking water. Do not add any perfumes
or other products to the water that have
not been approved by Webasto.
The water piping system must be cleaned
as follows, at least every two months:
a) - First drain the entire system by
removing the tank drain cover from the
water tank.
b) - Then screw the tank drain cover back
on and fill the water tank half full with a
solution of drinking water and a

NiteCool TCC-100/RCC-100 parking cooler system
13
commercially available cleaning/
disinfectant agent containing sodium
hypochloride (follow the mixing ratio as
specified by the manufacturer). Then run
the parking cooler system at blower
setting 6, with the cooling function
switched on, for two hours.
Leave the cab windows open during the
cleaning process and make sure no-one
remains in the cab.
Clean the fresh water tank of mobile
homes according to the vehicle
manufacturer instructions.
c) - After cleaning, drain the system
completely again and thoroughly clean the
water tank with water in order to flush out
the residues.
d) - Fill the system with drinking water if the
parking cooler system is to be put back
into operation again immediately.
e) - Alternatively, the water system can be
cleaned with recommended Katadyn®
Care products (please follow the
manufacturer's instructions).
Important information
The user is exclusively responsible for
complying with all guidelines, in particular
those relating to the use and function of
the parking cooler system and to hygienic
and sanitary conditions in order to
maintain correct operation.
Failure to follow the instructions will lead to
all liability being refused by Webasto.
