BASIC MAINTENANCE TROUBLE SHOOTING , DIGITAL ADJUSTMENT
TO HELP ASSURE GOOD SERVICE FROM YOUR HOTSHOT AND TO KEEP YOUR WARRANTY IN EFFECT YOU SHOULD ADHERE TO THE FOLLOWING PROCEDURES.
BASIC BODY MAINTENANCE
Lubricate the hinges, latches & keepers on the Hotshot body with white lithium grease (should be done once a month).Check tightness of screws on hinges & handles once a month. Wash the outside of the Hotshot Body at least once a month. Wash or steam clean interior once a month or as needed in case of food spills. Wax the outside at least 2 times a year. Check body mount bolts for tightness at least once a year. Check interior and exterior lights for proper operation. BASIC REFRIGERATION MAINTENANCE Spring Time
Check refrgerant level in the sigh glass. (Newer units' sight glass is located on the condenser above drivers door. On older units it could be located between the cab and the body. Checking the refrigerant level should be done once the temperature on the digital reaout is 45° F' or lower. The fluid level in the sigh glass should be at least 2/3 full and relatively clean looking. If it is red or green, it simply has dye in the system and is OK. If no fluid is showing in glass, system need to be serviced. If it looks like used motor oil, system needs to be serviced.Check the compressor drive belt for wear. This is usually the main drive belt (serpentine) under the hood. Look for cracks, frayed edges and missing ribs on belt. Check that pulleys are properly aligned with belt, not wobbling or making excessive noise.There are two fans in the condenser unit above the cab. Take white lithium grease (obtain at auto parts or hardware store) and using the red straw, spray down the fan shafts where the shaft goes into the motor.Make sure all fans are working on both condenser and the evaporator in the refrigeration compartment. (Depress switch on top edge of door opening to check evaporator fans).Check grill on condenser unit to be sure it is clear of obstructions.
