Manual Pretrip Inspection
29
•
If necessary to use a chemical cleaner or detergent use a
cleaner that does not contain any hydrofluoric acids and is
between 7 and 8 on the pH scale. Ensure dilution
instructions provided by the detergent supplier are
followed. In case of doubt about the compatibility of the
detergent with the type of materials listed above, always
ask the supplier a written confirmation of the
compatibility.
•
Should a chemical cleaner be required, it is
MANDATORY that all components are thoroughly rinsed
with water even if the instructions of the cleaner specify
that it is a “no rinse” cleaner.
WARNING: Failure to comply with above mentioned
guidelines will lead to a shortened life of the equipment to an
indeterminable degree and also may void your warranty.
NOTE: The repeated transportation of meat and fish waste
can cause extensive corrosion to the evaporator coils and
evaporator section tubing over time due to ammonia
formation and can reduce the lifespan of the coils.
Appropriate additional measures should be taken to protect
the coils against the aggressive corrosion that can result from
transportation of such products.
Cargo Box:
Check the interior and exterior of the cargo box
for damage. Any damage to the walls or insulation must be
repaired.
Cargo Doors:
Make sure that the cargo doors and weather
seals are in good condition. The doors should latch securely
and the weather seals should fit tightly.
Defrost Drains:
Check the defrost drain hoses to make sure
they are open.
Remote Evaporators :
(T-800 SPECTRUM, T-1000
SPECTRUM and T-1200 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.
