General Instructions
Preparing For Your Refrigerated Storage Container
- The surface where the container is to be placed must be stable enough to support the weight of the container. Concrete, asphalt, gravel, and crushed concrete all work well.
- A reasonably level area is desirable. Wooden blocks or railroad ties may be used to level the container.
- Make sure that there is sufficient access for our delivery truck.
- Have your electrician check that you have the proper electrical supply available near to where the container will be located.
- Position the machinery end of the container no less than 5 feet from a wall or other objects that may block the airflow.
Maintaining Your Refrigerated Storage Container
Here are a few easy steps to ensure that your refrigerated storage container gives you years of trouble free operation.
- It is important to have the correct electrical supply at all times.
- Designate one person to monitor the unit on a regular basis.
- Load your product strategically to allow proper air flow throughout the container. Do not stack your products close to the ceiling or doors.
- Keep the doors closed. When entering the container for an extended period of time, shut the unit off and turn it back on when you are finished.
- Inspect the refrigeration unit periodically for any area that appears to be oil stained. This can indicate the start of a refrigerant leak.
- Keep the condenser coil clean, especially during the warmer weather.
