SAFETY CONSIDERATIONS
Installation  of  this  unit  can  be  hazardous  due  to  electrical
components  and  equipment  location  (such  as  an  elevated
structure). Only trained, qualified installers and service me-
chanics should install and service this equipment.
See Fig. 1 for the Proposition 65 warning label.
CAUTION
When installing this unit, observe precautions in the liter-
ature,  labels  attached  to  the  equipment,  and  any  other
safety precautions that apply.
• Follow all safety codes.
• Wear  safety  glasses  and  work  gloves.  Never  wear
bulky or loose fitting clothing when working on any
mechanical  equipment.  Gloves  should  be  worn  for
proper protection against heat and other possible inju-
ries. Safety glasses or goggles should always be worn
when  drilling,  cutting,  or  working  with  chemicals
such as refrigerants or lubricants.
• Use care in handling and installing this unit.
• Never pressurize any equipment beyond specified test
pressures. Always  pressure-test  with  an  inert  fluid  or
gas such as clear water or dry nitrogen to avoid possi-
ble damage or injury in the event of a leak or compo-
nent  failure  during  testing.  Always  protect  adjacent
flammable material when welding or soldering. Use a
suitable heat-shield material to contain sparks or drops
of solder. Have a fire extinguisher readily available.
