Loading and Enroute Inspections

Inspecting the Load
Never assume that the product has been loaded properly. Watch
for and perform the following tasks. It takes only a few
minutes and could save you or your employer considerable
time and money later on.
1.
Make sure the unit is off before opening the cargo
compartment doors. During operation, the unit blows out
refrigerated air, and draws in outside air.
NOTE: The unit can be run with the doors open if the
truck is backed into a refrigerated warehouse with tight
door seals.
2.
Perform a final check of the load temperature. If the load
is too hot or too cold, make a final notation on the
manifest.
3.
While inspecting to see that the cargo is loaded properly,
make sure the evaporator inlets and outlets are not
blocked.
4.
Close or supervise the closing of the cargo compartment
doors. Make sure they are securely locked.
5.
Check to make sure the unit setpoint is set at the desired
temperature as listed on the manifest.
6.
If the unit was stopped, restart using the appropriate
starting procedure outlined in this manual.
7.
Repeat the after-start inspection.
8.
Defrost the unit 30 minutes after loading by starting a
manual defrost cycle.
CAUTION: Make sure cargo is pre-cooled to the
proper temperature before loading. The unit is
designed to maintain temperature, not cool an
above-temperature load.
