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.
INSPECTING THE LOAD
Always inspect load prior to departure.
1. Ensure unit is off before opening the trailer
doors. Otherwise refrigerated air is expelled
hot air drawn in. The unit may be run with
the doors open if the trailer is properly
backed into a refrigerated warehouse.
2. Perform final external and internal load
temperature checks. Note any irregularities
on the manifest.
3. Ensure cargo is not blocking the evaporator
inlets and outlets and that ample circulation
space has been provided around the load.
4. Ensure trailer doors are securely locked.
5. Ensure controller setpoint is at the desired
temperature.
6. If the unit was stopped, restart using the
starting procedures outlined in this manual.
7. Repeat the After Start Inspection.
8. Defrost the unit one half-hour after loading
by selecting the Manual Defrost. The Defrost
cycle terminates automatically.
