omnivan® Maintenance/Troubleshooting Tips
 

1. BODY MOUNTING: Check body mounting bolts and tighten if necessary at 30, 60, and 90 days after purchase. After this break-in period, check and tighten if necessary every 6 months.

2. TOP HINGED DOORS:
The following should be performed on a daily basis:
• Check the open door warning buzzer and light for proper operation with all doors.
The following should be performed on a monthly basis:
• Spray lock key cylinders with a fine oil or silicone.
• Lubricate with a lithium type grease the portion of the latch that locks around the striker plate.
• Check striker plates for wear and replace if necessary.
• Check door hinge pins and hinge plates for tightness and wear. Replace any worn parts. (NOTE: omnivanb hinge plates are reversible for double life.)
• Check omniprops and brackets for tightness and the ability to raise the door correctly.
• Check gaskets for a proper seal and replace if damaged.

3. SIDE HINGED DOORS:
• Inspect and lubricate key cylinders and paddle latches, and check and replace striker plates if necessary same as above.
• Inspect piano hinges monthly to make certain all fasteners are tight and door is closing properly.

4. LIGHTS:
• Check interior lights and door switches daily during normal operation and change if necessary.
• Check tail lights, marker lights and reflectors on a daily basis and replace if needed.

5. FASTENERS:
• Tighten or replace any nuts, bolts, screws, rivets, etc. that appear loose as the situation dictates.

6. REFRIGERATION:
• Make certain the wire gauge of your extension cord is large enough to handle the amperage of the condensing unit and keep the cord length as short as possible.
• Keep condenser coil clean and free of any blockages to air flow on a yearly basis.
• Ice on the cold plates works as an insulator. Defrost plates if build up is more than 1/2".
