UNIT OPERATION (SINGLE OR MULTI-TEMP SR-2/SR-3)
Manual Pretrip Inspection (Before Starting Unit)
The following Manual Pretrip Inspection should be completed before starting the unit and loading the trailer. While the pretrip
inspection is not a substitute for regularly scheduled maintenance inspections, it is an important part of the preventive
maintenance program designed to head off operating problems and breakdowns before they happen.
Fuel
The diesel fuel supply must be adequate to guarantee engine operation to the next check point.
Note: The diesel fuel must comply to EN590 standard
Engine Oil
The engine oil level should be at the FULL mark with the dipstick turned (threaded) into oil pan. Never overfill.
Coolant
The engine coolant must have antifreeze protection to -34 C(-30 F). Alarm Code 37 indicates low coolant. Add coolant in the
expansion tank.
Note: If the cooling system is low and Extended Life coolant (ELC) has been used previously. The system can only be topped
up with ELC, or de-ionised water.
Battery
The terminals must be clean and tight.
Belts
The belts must be in good condition and adjusted to the proper tensions.
Electrical
The electrical connections should be securely fastened. The wires and terminals should be free of corrosion, cracks or
moisture.
Structural
Visually inspect the unit for leaks, loose or broken parts and other damage. The condenser and evaporator coils should be clean
and free of debris. Check the defrost drain hoses and fittings to make sure they are open. Make sure all the doors are latched
securely.
CAUTION: Do not remove expansion tank cap while coolant is hot.
CAUTION: Do not add “GREEN” or “BLUE-GREEN” conventional coolant to cooling systems using
“RED” Extended Life Coolant, except in an emergency. If conventional coolant is added to Extended Life
Coolant, the cooling system will get contaminated and sludge will form, also crutially, the engine could
overheat.
