CONTAINERIZED KITCHEN (WITH TRAILER)
UNIT MAINTENANCE PROCEDURES
From inside the Mechanical Room, locate the black plastic plug (opposite of where the cable
enters from the outside) in the upper back corner of the Mechanical Room. Remove the plastic
plug, grasp the cable ferrule end with long nosed pliers and pull it free of the CK wall. A person
outside the CK should guide the cable as it is pulled from the inside the Mechanical Room. Coil
the cable on the Mechanical Room floor.
Winch Cable Replacement:
NOTE
Two people are required for the Winch Cable Replacement Procedure.
From inside the Mechanical Room, insert the free end of the new cable (opposite the cable
ferrule) into the cable hole. A second person, outside the CK, assists in pulling the cable
through the Mechanical Room wall. Avoid twisting or kinking the new cable and neatly coil the
cable on the ground by the Mechanical Room. The cable should be completely pulled through
until the cable ferrule is seated in the holder. Push the free end of the cable through the wing
floor cable tube from the Mechanical Room end of the floor wing. When the end of the cable is
through the tube and appears out the opposite end, it should then be pulled while being guided
from the Mechanical Room end to avoid kinking the cable. Pull the cable completely through
the tube and neatly coil the cable on the ground next to the CK.
From outside the CK, push the free end of the cable into the cable passageway at the top of the
CK and over the cable pulleys. The cable may have to be guided through the pulley assembly
by someone inside the CK. Pull the cable down to the winch assembly. Wind the cable onto
the winch reel (as previously noted during disassembly) for a full turn and secure the cable to
the reel using the cable keeper.
With one person inside the CK guiding and maintaining tension on the cable, the second person
uses the winch handle to take up any excess cable. The handle should be turned as if raising
the wing. The cable should be wound smoothly and evenly on the winch reel. Observe that the
ferrule on the cable end in the mechanical room is securely seated, and replace the plastic plug.
Raise and lower the wing 2 or 3 times to ensure the cable operates smoothly.
CK Setup Procedures For Winch Removal/Replacement:
There are three possible CK positions involving winch failure. In some positions, the CK setup
procedures must be altered prior to winch removal/replacement; in other cases, direct winch
removal/replacement will be possible. Regardless of the CK position, access to the winch
assembly is through the winch access panel. Winch failure can occur in relation to the following
three CK positions:
1. The CK is in the open position. The CK setup procedures should already be completed
and both CK wings are down and supported by jacks. If there is any equipment located
in the area around the winch access panel, it should be moved. The Winch Removal/
Replacement procedures can be implemented.
