parking cooler and routed back into the driver
compartment. The operation of the parking cooler does not
result in any fresh air being fed in.
To prevent the vehicle battery from being too heavily
drained by the operation of the parking cooler, the parking
cooler is equipped with a battery protection function. The
voltage value at which the battery protection function
switches off the parking cooler can be set.
1.5 Conditions for installation
Time required: Approximately two to three working hours.
At times two persons are required for installation (mounting
and aligning the parking cooler).
A suitable lifting device is required to lift the parking cooler
onto the roof of the lorry driver's cab. A travelling crane or
forklift truck are best suited for this purpose. No further
special tools are required for the installation.

2.3 Proper use
The Cool Top Vario 10 E parking cooler is intended for
cooling lorry driver's cabs while parked. As a result, the
environmentally harmful running of the engine to operate
the vehicle air-conditioning system can be avoided.
The parking cooler can also be used during driving, however
does not replace the vehicle air-conditioning system.
The parking cooler can be used independently of the
operation of the vehicle air-conditioning system.
Optimum climate control and energy utilisation are achieved
when the driver's cab is pre-cooled with the vehicle air-
conditioning system before using the parking cooler.
Operate the Cool Top Vario 10 E approx. 5 minutes
together with the vehicle air-conditioning system before
using it while parked to dissipate stored heat.
2.4 Improper use
The parking cooler is not suitable for use in agricultural
machines or construction machines.

3.2 Electrical connection
The power supply cable of the parking cooler runs from the
fuse box in the passenger footwell to the front of the
parking cooler.
1. Disconnect batteries.
2. Remove the interior trim of the roof hatch.
3. Route the power supply cable from the fuse box
in the passenger footwell to the front of the
parking cooler and connect.
4. Connect the power supply cable to the parking
cooler and the fuse box.
3.3 Mechanical installation
The parking cooler is mounted in place of an existing roof
hatch.
Before installing the parking cooler, it must be checked
whether the parking cooler can be operated together with
a roof spoiler which may be present. If modifications are
required, it must be noted that the vehicle homologation
may be voided by removing, installing a new or modifying
an existing roof spoiler. This requires an approval by a
recognised test organisation. Contact the vehicle
manufacturer, the manufacturer of the roof spoiler or a
recognised test organisation for more detailed information
on this subject. The parking cooler cannot be modified.
1. Remove the existing roof hatch together with all
fastening parts and sealing materials.
2. Clean and degrease the sealing surface.
3. Glue on the EPDM gasket around the rear roof
hatch cut-out in the centre beginning outside.
4. Cut off the start and end of the EPDM gasket
with an angled cut so that the largest common
cross-sectional area results.
5. Glue the cross-sectional areas of the EPDM
gasket with windows sealant (butyl sealant).
6. Remove the protective film from the hood
surface of the parking cooler.
7. Lift the parking cooler onto the roof of the
driver's cab with a suitable lifting device.
8. Align the parking cooler centred to the right and
left side and carefully place it on the roof hatch
opening.
In case of any existing roof extension (e.g. aerial),
position the parking cooler so that it is a
sufficient distance from the roof extensions.
8.1. For Scania: Move parking cooler 25 mm to
left seen in driving direction.
9. Check whether the screw bolts are firmly
screwed into the parking cooler.
SHORT CIRCUIT AND DANGER OF FIRE
Always disconnect the batteries before
working on the electrical system.
CAUTION
The connection line for an electric roof hatch
installed at the factory may not be used for the
power supply of the parking cooler, as the line
cross-section is not sufficient for this purpose.
Use the power supply cable provided.
If the power supply cable provided must be
extended, use cables with a sufficient line
cross-section.
Do not route the power supply cable near
signal lines or control lines.
Route the power supply cable so that no
tensile loading is exerted on it during
operation. Use strain-relief clamps if
necessary.
Do not kink the power supply cable or route it
over sharp edges. Use plastic grommets or a
protective pipe if necessary.
CAUTION
The connection of the parking cooler to the
vehicle power supply must be carried out with
a sufficiently dimensioned fuse (see DIN
72581).
ACCIDENT DANGER
When working on the vehicle roof there is a
danger of accidents occurring from persons
falling or from falling objects. Ensure secure
holding of persons and raised loads during
installation. Use only suitable lifting devices
during installation. A travelling crane is best
suited for this purpose.
ENVIRONMENTAL NOTE
Dispose of all waste resulting during
installation in an environmentally friendly
manner.
