SAFETY CONSIDERATIONS
Installation and servicing of air-conditioning equipment can
be hazardous due to system pressure and electrical compo-
nents. Only trained and qualified service personnel should
install, repair, or service air-conditioning equipment.
Untrained personnel can perform basic maintenance functions
of cleaning coils and filters and replacing filters. All other oper-
ations should be performed by trained service personnel. When
working on air-conditioning equipment, observe precautions in
the literature, tags and labels attached to the unit, and other
safety precautions that may apply.
Follow all safety codes. Wear safety glasses and work gloves.
Use quenching cloth for unbrazing operations. Have fire
extinguishers available for all brazing operations.
IMPORTANT: Units have high ambient operating limits. If
limits are exceeded, the units will automatically lock the com-
pressor out of operation. Manual reset will be required to
restart the compressor.
