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.
Washing with clean water should be sufficient.
The use of cleaning agents or detergents is
strongly discouraged due to the possibility of
degradation of the construction. If using a
power washer, the nozzle pressure should not
exceed 600 psi (41 bar). For the best results,
spray the coil perpendicular to the face of the
coil. The spray nozzle should be kept between
1 inch and 3 inches (25 to 75 millimetres) from
the coil surface.
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. Failure to comply with
above mentioned guidelines will lead to a
shortened life of the equipment to an
indeterminable degree.
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.
10. Cargo Box
Inspect the interior and exterior of the trailer for
damage. Any damage to the walls or insulation
must be repaired.
CAUTION!
Do not remove the expansion tank cap
while the coolant is hot.
