CONTAINERIZED KITCHEN (WITH TRAILER)
OPERATION UNDER USUAL CONDITIONS
Leveling the Container on the Trailer
1. Locate the two bullseye levels mounted on the ends of the container, in recesses in the
corner blocks. One is to the left of the personnel access door, and the other is at the
opposite end, to the left of the mechanical room doors. Using the levels, identify the high
end of the container (personnel door end or mechanical room end). Figure 3 below shows
typical level indications and what they mean.

2. At the high end, rotate the two jack handles of the trailer leveling jacks clockwise, separately
adjusting the rotation rate of the jacks as necessary until the end is level from side to side.
3. Moving to the opposite (low) end, raise both corners simultaneously, adjusting jack rotation
speed as necessary to level that end from side to side.
4. Continue raising the low end until the container is level from end to end.
Shelter Expansion
1. If not already done, open the personnel door and retrieve one of the jack/winch handles from
its storage location on the side of the rifle rack.
WARNING
The orange safety straps MUST be in place before unlocking the cam-locks
on the sides of the container. The straps are visible even when the wings
are closed.
2. Verify that the orange safety strap is attached to the serving wing (the right side when
viewed from the end containing the personnel door). Climb onto the roof of the container
and attach the strap if it is not (if the CK is on the ground, it will not be necessary to climb
onto the roof to attach the strap). Figure 4 shows where the safety strap is located on the
serving wing. It is in the same location on the food preparation wing.
3. Place three wing jacks at each wing (each corner and middle of the wing). Place the jacks
approximately 8 feet out from the sides of the container.
