Loading and Enroute Inspections

Post-Loading Inspection
Post-loading inspections ensure the cargo has been loaded
properly. To perform a post-load inspection:
1. Inspect the evaporator outlets for blockage.
2. Turn the unit off before opening the cargo box doors to
maintain efficient operation.
NOTE: The unit can be operated with the cargo box
doors open if the truck is backed into a refrigerated
warehouse and the dock door seals fit tightly around the
trailer.
3. Perform a final check of the load temperature. If the load
is above or below temperature, make a final notation on
the manifest.
4. Close or supervise the closing of the cargo box doors.
Make sure they are securely locked.
5. Make sure the setpoint is at the temperature listed on the
manifest.
6. If the unit was stopped, restart using the correct starting
procedure. See the Operating Instruction chapter in this
manual.
7. Start a manual defrost cycle 30 minutes after loading. See
the Manual Defrost procedure in this manual.
CAUTION: Cargo must be pre-cooled to the proper
temperature before loading. The unit is designed to
maintain temperature, not cool an above-temperature
load.
