If it becomes necessary to unhook from a loaded container, insure the landing gear is resting
on solid footing to prevent the container from sinking and possibly overturning.
1.6.4 Safety around Machinery
Apply common sense safety practices when performing operator maintenance checks. Keep
hands away from moving parts and always disconnect power to the reefer unit before
opening the condenser fan grille of your unit as it is equipped with time delays that control
component starting.
1.6.5 Repairs to Equipment
Repairs to equipment must be performed by qualified personnel only. Reefer units operate on
a 460 volt power source which is capable of causing injury or death if improperly handled.
Refer to section 5.4 for list of service centers authorized to perform repairs to Dole container
equipment.
WARNING
High Voltage Equipment
Use extreme caution when working with refrigeration and generator equipment. Improper
handling can cause injury or electrocution.
