  • Page 17: Step 1: Mounting The Apu

    S T E P 1 : M O U N T I N G T H E A P U You are now ready to install your HP2000. Begin by mounting the APU to the frame rail. On most installations, the HP2000 does not require any drilling into the frame rail. However, some trucks (such as certain models of Volvo trucks) do not feature a frame that allows for a simple locking device.
  • Page 18 Prepare and slide the patented low-pro mounting brackets onto the top frame rail. The head of the bolt should be seated between the two bolt head locks. Place the HP2000 on your lift cart or fork truck and move it into the mounting position. Align the top mounting bolts with the top holes in the APU frame.
  • Page 19 The lift cart can now be removed and should no longer be needed. Now install the bottom mounts. Slide the bolts through the mounting blocks with the bolt head resting on the flat side of the mounting block as shown in the below illustration.

  • Page 20: Step 2: Evaporator System Installation

    S T E P 2 : E V A P O R A T O R S Y S T E M I N S T A L L A T I O N The evaporator system is designed to be mounted under the bunk in the storage area.
  • Page 21 Locate the provided APU control harness. Before mounting the evaporator box, insert the large, round end of the APU control harness down through the pass through collar. Set the remaining harness aside. Locate the condensation drain hole directly below the evaporator intake connection. Make sure this hole is positioned over the pass through collar to allow for condensation to drain outside the cab.
  • Page 22 Secure the evaporator to the floor using the four self-tapping screws provided. Please note that one of the mounting feet of the evaporator is longer than the other. This is to allow for condensation inside the evaporator box to drain to the condensation drain hole shown above.

  • Page 23: Step 3: A/C Line Installation

    S T E P 3 : A / C L I N E I N S T A L L A T I O N Two A/C lines must be run from the APU to the evaporator in order to supply Freon to the evaporator unit.
  • Page 24 Apply a small dab of leak lock to the threads of the A/C fittings to prevent corrosion and leakage. Connect the pre-crimped ends of each hose to the corresponding fitting on the evaporator and check valve. The 90 degree connector connects to the top fitting and the straight connector connects to the check valve.

  • Page 25: Step 4: A/C System Vacuum And Charge

    S T E P 4 : A / C S Y S T E M V A C U U M A N D C H A R G E Now you are ready to charge the A/C system. Before charging, check to make sure there are no leaks or system contaminates by pulling a vacuum on the system.

  • Page 26: Step 5: Fuel Draw Tube Installation

    S T E P 5 : F U E L D R A W T U B E I N S T A L L A T I O N The fuel block assembly must now be installed in order to provide fuel supply return and tank venting to the APU.
  • Page 27 When looking at the fuel draw assembly (above), the fuel supply will be on the right side and the fuel return will be on the left. The short line coming out of the top is the new vent for the trucks fuel tank.

  • Page 28: Step 6: Connecting Battery Cables

    S T E P 6 : C O N N E C T I N G B A T T E R Y C A B L E S You are now ready to connect the battery cables. Make sure the truck battery posts are clean, as improper connections could cause the APU to fail.

  • Page 29: Step 7: Water Connections

    S T E P 7 : W A T E R C O N N E C T I O N S The APU is liquid cooled and requires coolant in order to operate at a safe temperature. Before beginning this step, be sure you have the proper size connections for integrating into the existing cooling system.
  • Page 30 Using the four coolant line crimping pliers, crimp both lines 4” inches apart as pictured. It is important that you tie into the coolant lines under the hood and NOT into the lines that run to the bunk heater. Failure to tie into the coolant lines close to the engine will result in the APU overheating and can cause possible damage to the unit.
  • Page 31 Insert the provided coolant line Y connector and tighten with the provided hose clamps. You are provided a spool of engine coolant hose in your install kit. If you did not pre-build your engine coolant valve assembly, you may do so now. Cut two, approximately 6” pieces of the coolant hose off from the provided spool to install your engine coolant valves.
  • Page 32 Lay out the supply and return water lines (both at the same time), being careful not to cross them. We recommend marking one of the lines on both ends prior to installation to prevent accidental crossing. Crossing the lines will cause the APU to overheat. Starting at the back of the truck by the APU, route the coolant lines under the truck following the frame to the location of the engine coolant valves.
  • Page 33 Remember which line you selected for supply and which for return. If you are unsure which line is your supply and return, place the ends of both lines in a bucket and start the truck. The line that has the highest amount of pressure of flow will be your supply line. Once you have determined your supply line, route it to the bottom connector on the APU, trim to fit and secure it with the provide hose clamp (below).

  • Page 34: Step 8: Controller And Air Duct Installation

    S T E P 8 : C O N T R O L L E R A N D A I R D U C T I N S T A L L A T I O N The APU controller is responsible for all functions of the APU. It is important that the controller is mounted upright and in an area with adequate air flow.
  • Page 35 DO NOT MOUNT THE CONTROLLER AT THIS TIME. DO NOT PLUG THE CONTROLLER IN AT THIS TIME. Using zip ties, secure all excess control cable under the bunk. DUCT INSTALLATION It is recommended that the airflow from the evaporator be tied into the trucks existing ductwork whenever possible.
  • Page 36 Once the collars have been installed, you must install the air deflector. Drill a small hole for each ear of the deflector to pivot on. This must be installed on the up side of the farthest vent so that all air from both vents will be directed toward the vents of the truck.
  • Page 37 If there is only available space for one duct to be connected to the trucks existing ductwork, follow the instructions above but you can run the second ductwork section from the evaporator to the kick plate underneath the bunk. This will allow for air to travel through the ductwork of the truck to the upper section while allowing for the remainder of the air to be discharged in the lower section of the cab.

  • Page 38: Step 9: System Prime And Safety Check

    S T E P 9 : S Y S T E M P R I M E A N D S A F E T Y C H E C K You are almost ready to start your engine. It is now time to prepare the unit for the initial startup. C O N N E C T T H E C O N T R O L C A B L E Check to be sure all tools are removed from the APU and that all connections are tight.

  • Page 39: Priming The Water Pump

    P R I M I N G T H E W A T E R P U M P It is necessary to run the truck engine for a period of at least five minutes in order to prime the APU water pump.

  • Page 40: Step 10: Initial Start

    S T E P 1 0 : I N I T I A L S T A R T At this point you can use the controller to start the APU. Press “Start” on the controller and select “Climate Control”. Set your desired temperature. At no more than 30 seconds, you will hear the APU attempt to start.
