CARE AND MAINTENANCE
CARE AND MAINTENANCE
PRE-TRIP INSPECTION
Pre-trip inspections are essential to minimize
operating problems and breakdowns, and must
be performed before every trip involving
refrigerated cargo.
1. Diesel Fuel
Must be sufficient diesel fuel to guarantee
engine operation to the next check point.
2. Engine Oil
Should be at the FULL mark. Never overfill.
3. Coolant
The indicator should be in the FULL (white)
range. If the coolant level is in the ADD (red)
range, add coolant to the expansion tank.
Coolant should be a 50/50 mixture of ethylene
glycol and water to provide protection to
-34°C.
4. Battery
The terminals must be tight and free of all
corrosion. Electrolyte should be at full mark.
5. Belts
The belts must be in good condition.
Tensioning is automatic. Do not attempt to
adjust.
6. Electrical
Ensure all electrical connections are securely
fastened. Wires and terminals should be free of
corrosion, cracks or moisture.
7. Structural
Visually inspect the unit for leaks, loose or
broken parts and other damage.
8. Gasket
The unit mounting gasket should be tightly
compressed and in good condition.
9. Coils
Ensure condenser and evaporator coils are
clean and free of debris.
10. Cargo Box
Inspect the interior and exterior of the trailer for
damage. Any damage to the walls or insulation
must be repaired.
11. Damper Door
The damper door in the evaporator air outlet
must move freely with no sticking or binding.
12. Defrost Drains
Check the defrost drain hoses and fittings to
ensure they are open.
13. Trailer Doors
Ensure doors and weather seals are in good
condition, doors latch securely and weather
seals fit tightly.
14. Remote Evaporators (SLX Spectrum)
• Visually inspect Evaporator(s) for damaged,
loose, or broken parts.
• Check also for refrigerant leaks.
• Check Defrost initiation and termination
(including defrost timer) by activating/
initiating a manual defrost.
LOADING
GENERAL INFORMATION
1. Inspect the trailer for proper insulation.
2. Ensure all door seals are tightly sealed with
no air leakage.
3. Inspect the trailer inside and out for damaged
or loose doors or skin.
4. On the inside, look for damaged walls or
floor, air ducts and clogged defrost drain
tubes.
5. Pre-cool the trailer as to desired setpoint.
6. Ensure loads are at correct carrying
temperature when you pick them up. Note
any variance.
7. Supervise loading of the product to assure
sufficient air space around and through the
load so as not to restrict air flow.
CAUTION!
Do not remove the expansion tank cap
while the coolant is hot.
