Table 4-2 Service Category Descriptions
Service A
1. Check the tension of the alternator
belt(s).
2 .Check that the vehicle engine idles
correctly with unit operating. Check
compressor mounting hardware and
belt tension. (Paragraph 4.2)
3 .Check the tightness of bolts and
screws and that the unit is correctly
fastened onto the box.
Service B
1 . Clean condenser & the evaporator.
(Paragraphs 4.3 & 4.4)
2. Replace the road compressor
belt(s).
3. Check and if required Replace the
filter-drier. (Paragraph 4.5)
4. Clean the TXV orifice filter. (Para-
graph 4.6)
5. Check standby compressor oil level.
Level should be from 1/4 to 1/2 sight
glass.

9 .Check the water tightness of the
emergency switch cap.
Service C
1 .Check the bearings of the belt ten-
sion pulley. If a spring is fitted, change
spring.
2. Change the shockmounts (if any)
installed on the road compressor
mounting kit.
3. Check the operation of the evapora-
tor and condenser fans. Change the
condenser motor brushes. The
evaporator of this unit is equipped with
brushless fan motors therefore, brush
maintenance is not required..
4. Change the compressor oil. Use
polyol ester oil (POE) approved by
CARRIER. Refer to paragraph 1.2.
Service D
1. Change the removable fuses and
capacitor (if any) in the control box.
4.2 BELT MAINTENANCE AND ADJUSTMENT
A belt tension gauge provides an accurate and easy
method of adjusting belts to their proper tension.
Properly adjusted belts give long lasting and efficient
service. Too much tension shortens belt and bearing life,
and too little tension causes slippage and excessive belt
wear. It is also important to keep belts and sheaves free
of any foreign material which may cause the belts to slip.
The Belt Tension gauge can be used to adjust all belts.
The readings which we specify for Carrier Transicold
units are applicable only for our belts and application, as
the tension is dependent on the size of the belt and
distance between sheaves. When using this gauge, it
should be placed as close as possible to the midpoint
between two sheaves.
