3.5 Diesel Set Variations
As earlier stated, the various manufacturers of diesel generator sets used in the Dole fleet are
similar in design. Instrumentation and controls differ somewhat between units. The following
illustrations and information highlight these differences:

Not all Carrier Transicold models are equipped with a full set of gauges, however, as with all
Dole generators, automatic shut-down will occur when unsafe conditions exist.
a) Some models employ a circuit breaker trip light located above the circuit breaker. If
the unit is running and the circuit breaker trips, this red light will illuminate to signal
the operator of a malfunction with the generator.
b) Some models use a battery discharge light. This red light will illuminate while the
engine is running if a malfunction occurs in the battery charging system.
c) The glow plug pre-heat switch, located below the circuit breaker to the left, will
return to the OFF position when released.
