Safety Instructions
The appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) must be worn for all work on the refrigeration machine!
Anyone who is commissioned with the installation, start-up, maintenance, repair or operation of the refrigeration machine must have read and understood this documentation, in particular the safety instructions.
Installation, maintenance and repair works may only be performed by authorised and competent FRIGOBLOCK installation and service partners.
The FRIGOBLOCK refrigeration machine may only be used and operated by qualified personnel and exclusively in accordance with the technical specifications, and in accordance with the safety regulations and provisions outlined in this document. Qualified personnel are people who are familiar with the operation of the FRIGOBLOCK refrigeration machine and who have the appropriate qualifications to carry out the required work.
Specific control components described within this documentation may be positioned at different points on the machine, depending on customer requirements. Familiarise yourself with the installation positions of these components before using the FRIGOBLOCK refrigeration machine (see also Position of the main components).
The work area must be secured for hot work, e.g. soldering. Hot work may only be carried out in approved areas.
Observe the relevant legal and safety regulations and the contents of this documentation.
The upper area of the FRIGOBLOCK refrigeration machine features an open design. For this reason, damaging influences to the pipes or fans cannot be ruled out. For example, always consider the vehicle's height when driving under trees or bridges.
Ensure that every person who operates this FRIGOBLOCK refrigeration machine has received a safety briefing in accordance with BGR 500 (operation of refrigeration systems, heat pumps and refrigeration equipment) and the Industrial Safety Regulation, as well as operator instructions based on the documentation and that they have carefully read and understood the documentation.
Before opening switch boxes and when working on the refrigeration machine, the Mains-0-Alternator switch must be set to "0" and the mains plug must be unplugged. Secure the system before switching on again!
When opening the doors and gates of the refrigeration machine and when removing covers, the rotating parts, electrical voltage, heat and cold all pose a risk. The refrigeration machine must be switched off before entering the refrigerated box.
Any plug connections may only be connected or disconnected when the refrigeration machine is switched off. The vehicle's engine must be switched off. Unused sockets must be covered. The mains plug must be disconnected before starting the trip.
It is essential to check that all plug connections are correctly connected for all tractor units, trailers, articulated trains and swap bodies. The plugs must be locked in the dummy sockets with the covers closed when not in use.
Following damage to components of the entire system due to external influences (e.g. an accident), the condition of the system must be properly checked by a qualified electrician in accordance with DIN EN 50110-1.
If plug connections are disconnected during the repair process, they must be protected from external influences (e.g. dirt, moisture and mechanical stress). Defective lines, plugs and other components must be immediately replaced.
As part of the vehicle handover, FRIGOBLOCK GmbH offers operating personnel training.
Please pay attention to the relevant country-specific regulations and laws.
