The above tank mounting kit consists of two L shaped brackets and two 385mm long pieces of 75x8 equal angle. In its simplest form the two L brackets can be bolted to the chassis with an outside measurement of 385mm and a vertical distance of approx. 150mm from the top of the fuel tank to the top of the L brackets. The L brackets should be attached with their gussets to the outside so that they don't interfere with the muffler. Two ½ inch high tensile bolts per L bracket are sufficient for attachment to the chassis. The distance of 150mm above the tank is to allow clearance for the muffler. The 78x8EA pieces can then be bolted to the ends of the L brackets using one ½ inch bolt each end to form a flat platform which the Icepack can be bolted down to.

Many variations of the above are possible to overcome problems such as the L brackets lining up with tank J brackets. The spacing of the L brackets is not critical as the Icepack only locates on the 75x8EA that are bolted on each end. It is therefore possible to position the L brackets anywhere on the chassis and use the 75x8EA to span between the mounting points. It may be necessary to source longer pieces of angle to achieve this. The only complication that this may cause is if the L bracket interferes with the placement of the muffler. The muffler may be remote mounted elsewhere if required.

The Icepack unit can be placed on top of the platform to mark the four mounting holes onto the 75x8EA. These holes should be drilled to 3/8 inch. Consideration should also be given to the placement of the muffler in that it may interfere with the top inside edge the L bracket. If the muffler flange plate hits the L bracket on the inside edge (it will hit by 25mm if the L brackets were placed 385mm apart) then the inside edge should be cut back at the location where the muffler flange plate hits it to give clearance. The unit can then be bolted to the platform using the bolts and square rubber washes as supplied.

Mounting the Evaporator in the Sleeper -

The evaporator assembly can be attached to the floor of the sleeper using six bolts or six 12-20 tek screws. The air can be ducted using 90mm stormwater pipe fittings to a vent box.

Fuel System -

The only hoses that need to be connected are the fuel pick up and return lines. The fuel pick up line is the hose that is attached to the fuel filter inside the Icepack. This hose should be attached to the fuel spear in the top of the tank. The return line is attached to the top bung in the end of the tank.

Electrical System -

The system is wired so that the Icepack unit and the evaporator can be plugged into the control panel (the evaporator plug connectors are painted black) and the system will work. This means that to wire the system together extension leads of the seven core flex need to be made to join the components together.

Power from the batter needs to be supplied to the heavy orange lead that is attached to the back of the starter motor and an earth lead should be connected from a bolt on the motor to the truck chassis.

Air Conditioning System -

The evaporator is connected to the Icepack unit with a No.10 hose, which goes to the compressor inlet with a 90 degree fitting, and a No.6 hose, which connects to the outlet of the receiver dryer also with a 90 degree fitting. Inline service ports should be connected in these lines at a convenient location. 50 ml of Sanden SP10 pag oil should be introduced to the system. The system should be gassed using R134a to a high side pressure which correlates to the temperature given by the temperature of the day plus 20 deg.C plus 10% (or (T+20)x1.1 ). If the site glass of the receiver dryer clears before this pressure is reached then the system is full of gas at this point.
