SAFETY CONSIDERATIONS
Installation and servicing of air-conditioning equipment can be 
hazardous due to system pressure and electrical components. 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 operations 
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 extinguisher 
available for all brazing operations.
It is important to recognize safety information. This is the 
safety-alert symbol 
. When you see this symbol on the unit and 
in instructions or manuals, be alert to the potential for personal 
injury.
Understand the signal words DANGER, WARNING, CAUTION, 
and NOTE. These words are used with the safety-alert symbol. 
DANGER identifies the most serious hazards which will result in 
severe personal injury or death. WARNING signifies hazards 
which could result in personal injury or death. CAUTION is used 
to identify unsafe practices, which may result in minor personal
