Please take the time to read the information contained in this booklet and refer to it when- ever you have a question about the operation of your Carrier Tran- sicold Supra unit.
If a problem occurs, please refer to the information on this plate, and make a note of the model and serial number before calling for assistance. This information will be needed when you contact a technician or Carrier Transicold Service Engineer so that he or she may properly assist you. NAMEPLATE...
AFETY Your Carrier Transicold refrigeration unit has been designed with the safety of the operator in mind. During normal operation, all moving parts are fully guarded to help prevent injury. During all pre-trip inspections, daily inspections, problem troubleshooting, you may be exposed to moving parts; please stay clear of all moving parts when the unit is in operation and when the unit main power switch is in the RUN position.
NSPECTION 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.

5. Engine Oil -- the engine oil should be checked last since it is necessary for oil to drain from the block and into the oil pan to obtain a correct reading. Remove the dipstick, wipe it off and re-insert it fully into the engine block.

Setpoints of -22°F to +89°F (-30°C to +32°C) may be entered via the keypad. The controller always retains the last entered setpoint in memory. If no setpoint is in memory (i.e. on initial startup), the controller will lock out the run relay and flash “SP” on the left hand display until a valid setpoint is entered.

RODUCT OADING BEFORE LOADING: D Pre-cool the body. This will remove much of the heat from the inside of the body, and give the product better protection when it is loaded. D Place the unit in a defrost cycle immediately before loading. This will remove moisture accumulated on the evaporator coil.
Page 28
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 trailer.
These are included for reference only and should not be considered preemptive of the set point required by the shipper or receiver. More detailed information can be obtained from your Carrier Transicold dealer. Setpoint Range...

AINTENANCE Engine oil -- the oils recommended for use in your refrigeration unit must comply with the American Petroleum Institute’s (API) SG/CD rating. The use of any oil that does not meet this rating may affect the warranty on the engine in the unit. The use of oil of the proper weight (viscosity) is also essential.
AINTENANCE CHEDULE For the most reliable operation and for maximum life, your unit requires regular maintenance. This includes oil and filter changes, fuel and air filter replacement, coolant replacement. Maintenance should be performed on the following schedule: ERVICE CHEDULE UPRA 550 D Check engine cooling system.
