Electrical shock can cause personal injury and death. Shut
off all power to this equipment during installation and ser-
vice. There may be more than one disconnect switch. Tag
all disconnect locations to alert others not to restore power
until work is completed.
This unit uses a microprocessor-based electronic control
system. Do not use jumpers or other tools to short out com-
ponents, or to bypass or otherwise depart from recom-
mended procedures. Any short-to-ground of the control
board or accompanying wiring may destroy the electronic
modules or electrical components.
To prevent potential damage to heat exchanger tubes
always run fluid through heat exchangers when adding or
removing refrigerant charge. Use appropriate brine solu-
tions in cooler fluid loops to prevent the freezing of heat
exchangers when the equipment is exposed to temperatures
below 32 F (0° C).
DO NOT VENT refrigerant relief valves within a building.
Outlet from relief valves must be vented outdoors in accor-
dance with the latest edition of ANSI/ASHRAE (American
National Standards Institute/American Society of Heating,
Refrigeration and Air Conditioning Engineers) 15 (Safety
Code for Mechanical Refrigeration). The accumulation of
refrigerant in an enclosed space can displace oxygen and
cause asphyxiation. Provide adequate ventilation in
enclosed or low overhead areas. Inhalation of high concen-
trations of vapor is harmful and may cause heart irregulari-
ties, unconsciousness or death. Misuse can be fatal. Vapor
is heavier than air and reduces the amount of oxygen avail-
able for breathing. Product causes eye and skin irritation.
Decomposition products are hazardous.
DO NOT attempt to unbraze factory joints when servicing
this equipment. Compressor oil is flammable and there is
no way to detect how much oil may be in any of the refrig-
erant lines. Cut lines with a tubing cutter as required when
performing service. Use a pan to catch any oil that may
come out of the lines and as a gage for how much oil to add
to system. DO NOT re-use compressor oil.
