AKP Technical Support
Before using the AKP system, make sure the correct personal protective equipments are used such as:
- Safety gloves
- Safety glasses
- Hearing protection
Further, during operation of the AKP and it's subsystems:
- Do not eat
- Do not drink
- Do not smoke
Make sure you are always working safe and in a safe location.

To attach/detach the hoses, follow these steps:
1. Unlock the lock ring by rotating it until it springs open.
2. Pull the connector part down while (dis-)connecting it from the container.
If the bearings are visible, the connector is not properly connected to the cargo container.
The glycol hoses have a locking mechanism, see image for more details.
Does this solve the problem?
Does this solve the problem?
Are both cables from the CCU connected to the generator?
1. Power cable (red)
2. Data cable (grey)
Does this solve the problem?
Connect the 2 cables and wait for 15 minutes. Does this solve the problem?
Is the temperature inside the cargo container within spec?
Feel the hoses connected to the cargo container. Is one of these statements true?
- If the temperature inside the container is too hot (above 23°C), the upper hose should feel cold.
- If the temperature inside the container is too cold (bellow 19°C), the upper hose should feel warm.
Does the AKP light turn green or is the temperature inside the container slowly changing towards 21°C ?
If only the fuel low error is shown, the generator can still function.
If the fuel empty error is shown, or if the fuel level reaches 10% or less, the generator may shut-down in order to prevent damage to the generator.
The battery is "ON" / connected if the switch is in vertical position.
Symptoms to look for include:
- Engine struggles to start.
- The lights and/or display are dimmed.
- There is a battery error on the control panel.
- The generator won't start at all.
Does this solve the problem?
1. Check if there is a suitable external power source nearby (on the truck).
2. Check if there is a NATO cable available.
Some AKP's contain a NATO cable, which can be found underneath the generator or CCU.
IMPORTANT: Only use the NATO cable! Only use 12V! Always consult the OM (Operation Manual) in when in doubt!
WARNING: Only use the NATO cable with 12V!
Connect the NATO cable to the source (red is positive, black is negative) and generator, start the generator and let it run for at least 15 minutes.
The NATO cable can be disconnected if the generator is running. Does the generator now start?
Does this solve the issue?
Take note of the colour of the fluid, but do not touch the fluid!
Which device is leaking fluids?
If no error or solution can be found, or if the error is unclear, consider contacting the support line:
Make sure there is a 0.6m (2ft) clearance around the AKP. Also ensure an unobstructed airflow through the ventilation panels to allow heat and exhaust gasses to move away from the AKP.
Call the forwarder/supervisor and consider the following:
Check cooling fluid of the generator. Is the cooling fluid low/empty?
Does this fix the problem?
A tripped fuse can be recognised by a lowered fuse switch.
Are any of the fuses tripped?
Inform the forwarder or supervisor and discuss how to proceed.
Does deactivating the emergency switch and restarting the generator solve the issue?
Discuss how and when to refill the cooling fluid. Use the OM (Operation Manual) or generator manual for detailed instructions and specification of coolant.
In order to prevent damages, it is not allowed to start the generator with low/empty cooling fluid

Make sure to have the serial numbers of both the generator and CCU readily available.
inform forwarder/supervisor on how and where to re-fill oil. Use the OM (Operation Manual) or generator manual for detailed instructions.
Consider making an appointment to a Part 145 certified repair station.

- There should be no air in the main fuel filter.
- There should be less than 50% air in the fuel filter at the bottom of the generator.
- The red line of the water separator is below the white line.
- Both fuel cocks are open (pointing downward).
Are any of these statement false?
A tripped fuse can be recognised by a lowered fuse switch.
Are any of the fuses tripped?
