SAFETY
Your Carrier Transicold refrigeration unit has been designed with the
safety of the operator in mind. During normal operation, all moving
parts are fully enclosed to help prevent injury. During all pre--trip
inspections, daily inspections, and problem troubleshooting, you
may be exposed to moving parts; please stay clear of these moving
parts when the unit is in operation and when the main power switch
is in the Run (On) position.
The evaporator and condenser are made of finned tubes. The fins
can cause injury on contact with skin. It is recommended to wear
protective gloves during all handling operations.
During operation, certain components such as the exhaust pipe,
discharge outlet, and cooling circuit radiator can become extremely
hot. During routine service operations, wear protective gloves.
ENGINE COOLANT
The engine, as with all diesel engines, is equipped with a
pressurized cooling system. Under normal operating conditions, the
coolant in the engine and radiator is under high pressure and is very
hot. Contact with hot coolant can cause severe burns. Do not
remove the cap from a hot radiator; if the cap must be removed, do
so very slowly in order to release the pressure without spraying.
6
SAFETY
REFRIGERANTS
The refrigerant contained in the refrigeration system of your unit can
cause frostbite, severe burns, or blindness when in direct contact
with the skin or eyes. For this reason, and because of legislation
regarding the handling of refrigerants during system service,
whenever your unit requires service of the refrigeration system, we
recommend that you contact your nearest Carrier Transicold
authorized repair facility for service.

PRE-TRIP INSPECTION
2. Fuel -- Drain any water and impurities from the sump of the re-
frigeration unit fuel tank by opening the drain--cock located on
the bottom of the tank. Close the valve when only pure fuel
emerges. Check the fuel level in the tank, ensuring that the fuel
supply is adequate for unit operation. Refuel if necessary.
3. Belts -- Check the belt tension by depressing the belt with your
thumb, near the center of the longest free run of each belt.
Under moderate pressure each belt should deflect approxima-
tely 6 mm to 13 mm (1/4 inch to 1/2 inch). If the belts deflect
more than this they should be tightened (loose belts may slip,
generating heat and reducing belt life). If the belts are too tight
they should be loosened; tight belts can reduce bearing life.

5. Engine Oil -- The engine oil should be checked last, since oil
has to drain out of the block and into the oil pan to obtain a
correct reading. Remove the dip--stick (1), wipe it clean and
re-insert it fully into the engine block. Once again, remove the
dip--stick and observe the oil level; it should be somewhere
between the ”full” and ”add” marks. If it is below the add mark,
add oil until the level is correct.

Too little belt tension cause slippage and excessive belt wear. Too
much tension shortens belt and bearing life. Belt deflection should
be equal to belt thickness.
Performance Parts belts are canvas--surfaced, smooth and

Properly adjusted belts give long lasting and efficient service (refer
to maintenance schedule).
Important: During intervention on twin mounted belts, replace
IMPERATIVELY both belts and make sure they both originate from
the same package.

PRODUCT LOADING
Proper air circulation in the truck body, air that can move around and
through the load, is a critical element in maintaining product quality
during transport. If air cannot circulate completely around the load,
hot spots or top--freeze can occur.
The use of pallets is highly recommended. Pallets, when loaded so
air can flow freely through the pallets to return to the evaporator,
help protect the product from heat passing through the floor of the
trailer. When using pallets, it is important to refrain from stacking
extra boxes on the floor at the rear of the trailer, because this will cut
off the airflow.
Product stacking is another important factor in protecting the
product. Products that generate heat, fruits and vegetables for
example, should be stacked so the air can flow through the product
to remove the heat; this is called “air stacking” the product. Products
that do not create heat, meats and frozen products, should be
stacked tightly in the center of the trailer. All products should be kept
away from the sidewalls of the body, allowing air to flow between the
body and the load; this prevents heat filtering through the walls from
affecting the product.
It is important to check the temperature of the product being loaded
to ensure that it is at the correct temperature for transport. The
refrigeration unit is designed to maintain the temperature of the
product at the temperature at which it was loaded; it was not
designed to cool a warm product.
48
PRODUCT LOADING
SOME ADVICE
Before loading
- Pre--cool the inside of the insulated body by lowering the
temperature for about 15 minutes.
- Remove the humidity inside the body by defrosting manually. This
can be done only when the inside temperature is 3C or less.
When loading G
- This is to be carried out with the unit stopped. B
- It is recommended to open doors as little as possible to avoid the
intake of hot air and humidity.
- Select the temperature using the thermostat in accordance with
the goods transported.
- Check the internal temperature of the goods being loaded (using
a probe thermometer).
- Take care not to obstruct the air intakes on the evaporator section
and the ventilation ducts.
- Leave a free space of about:
6 to 8 cm between load and frontwall,
20 cm between the top of the load and the roof,
between the floor and the load (gratings, pallets).
- Do not forget to close the rear ventilation flaps.
- Before closing the doors, check your load once more and see that
nobody is shut inside the trailor.
