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.
AUTO-- START/STOP
Your refrigeration unit is equipped with Auto-Start/Stop, a valuable
fuel saving feature. When the unit is set for Auto-Start/Stop
operation it may start at any time. When performing any check of
the refrigeration unit (e.g., checking the belts, checking the oil),
make certain that the main power switch is in the OFF (0) position.
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.
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.

PRETRIP INSPECTION
The pre--trip inspection should be performed before picking up any
load. This inspection is essential to anticipate and help minimize the
possibility of “over--the--road” problems. These checks take only a
few minutes.
1. Place the unit’s main switch in the STOP (0) position.
2. Fuel -- Drain any water and impurities from the sump of the
refrigeration unit fuel tank by opening the drain--cock located
on the bottom of the tank (if so equipped). 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
approximately 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.
4. Battery -- On unit equipped with serviceable batteries, the
level of the electrolyte in each of the cells should be
checked. If the level is low, distilled water should be added
to the correct level. Most units, however, are equipped with
low or no--maintenance batteries. Check battery
connections and battery supports.
21
G
B
PRETRIP INSPECTION
5. Engine Oil -- The engine oil should be checked last since it
is necessary for oil to drain out of the block and into the oil
pan to obtain a correct reading. Remove the plug/dip--stick
(1), wipe it off 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.
1
6. Over--all Unit inspection -- Visually inspect the entire unit for
leaks, loose bolts, frayed, loose, or broken wires, etc. The
radiator and condenser coils of the unit should be free of
dirt, bugs, cardboard, or any other debris that may obstruct
airflow across the coils. The evaporator (located inside the
body) should be free of debris also, especially shrink--wrap,
which is often used during transport to prevent cargo
shifting.
7. Truck body -- The body should be inspected prior to loading.
Check the door and vent seals for damage and wear.
Inspect the entire interior and exterior of the body to detect
any damage including in the inner and outer skins of the
body. Damage to the insulation may compromise the unit’s
ability to maintain the product temperature by increasing the
amount of heat gain across the truck body.

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
truck. When using pallets, it is important to refrain from stacking
extra boxes on the floor at the rear of the truck, 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 truck. 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.

PRODUCT LOADING
OPTIONS FOR INSULATED BODIES
- Mobile partition
The mobile partition must be placed at a minimum distance from the
evaporator of 1 m for: MTS700 / MTS1100 / MTS1450 / MTS2200.
- Ducting of evaporator air outlet
Ventilation ducts must never be covered.
SOME ADVICE
Before loading
- Pre--cool the inside of the insulated body by lowering the
temperature for about 15 minutes.
- Evacuate the humidity existing inside the box by carrying out a
manual defrost. This can only take place when enabled by the
defrost thermostat (box temperature lower than 3EC during
pulldown and 8EC during heating).
- Evaporator fans are protected by safety grills. In the event of
heavy duty use of the unit, ice can accumulate on the grills. It is
therefore recommended to clean them regularly by means of a
small brush. The operation MUST be done when the unit has been
SHUT DOWN.
30
PRODUCT LOADING
When loading
G
B
- To be carried out with the unit stopped.
- It is recommended to open doors as little as possible to avoid the
intake of hot air and humidity.
- Select the temperature by means of the thermostat, according to
the transported goods.
- 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.
Load spacers
Load on pallets
- 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 doors.
- Before closing the doors, check your load once more and see that
nobody is shut inside the box.

continuous run mode to help insure product quality.
It is essential to shut down the compartment during the periods
when the doors are open, in order to maintain the temperature of the
cargo in the other compartments and keep the unit operating
correctly. To do so, the main O/I switch (O: stop/I: start) should be
switched to O).

UNIT MAINTENANCE
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.
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 are both in the
same package.
