Post-Loading Inspection

Post-loading inspections verify the cargo has been loaded properly. To perform a post-load inspection:

  1. Inspect the evaporator outlets for blockage.

  2. Turn the unit off before opening the cargo box doors to maintain efficient operation.

    Note The unit can be operated with the cargo box doors open if the truck is backed into a refrigerated warehouse and the dock door seals fit tightly around the trailer.

  3. Perform a final check of the load temperature. If the load is above or below temperature, make a final notation on the manifest.

    Important Cargo must be pre-cooled to proper temperature before loading. The unit is designed to maintain temperature, not cool an above-temperature load.
  4. Close or supervise the closing of the cargo box doors. Verify they are securely locked.

  5. Verify the setpoint is at the temperature listed on the manifest.

  6. If the unit was stopped, restart using the correct starting procedure. See the Operating Instruction chapter in this manual.

  7. Start a manual defrost cycle 30 minutes after loading. See the Manual Defrost procedure in the manual.
