Operation
CAUTION
Changing from a cold inside temperature to a warm
outside temperature may result in the formation
of water condensation. This water may freeze on
re-entering the cold store, blocking moving parts of
the truck.
It is essential that close attention is paid to the
duration of deployment in the different temperature
ranges for both types of application.
Before being used in the cold store, the truck must
be dry and warmed up.
The truck must not leave the cold store area for
more than 10 minutes. By adhering to this rule,
condensation water will not have time to form.
If the truck stays outside for more than 10 minutes,
it must remain there as a minimum until such time
as the condensation water has drained off and the
truck has dried off. Depending on the weather, this
will take at least 30 minutes.
WARNING
Risk of injury!
If water condensation freezes in the cold store, do
not try to free blocked parts with your hands.
– Drive the truck for approx. 5 minutes and
actuate the brake several times to ensure
