1.6 Misuse of Equipment
Suitability for Application
The unit is intended for cooling water or glycol solutions
and is not suitable for purposes other than those
specifi ed in these instructions. Any use of the equipment
other than its intended use, or operation of the equipment
contrary to the relevant procedures may result in injury
to the operator, or damage to the equipment.
The unit must not be operated outside the design limits
specifi ed in this manual.
Structural Support
Structural support of the unit must be provided as
indicated in these instructions. Failure to provide proper
support may result in injury to the operator, or damage
to the equipment.
Mechanical Strength
The unit is not designed to withstand loads or stresses
from adjacent equipment, pipework or structures.
Additional components must not be mounted on the unit.
Any such extraneous loads may cause structural failure
and may result in injury to the operator, or damage to
the equipment.
General Access
There are a number of areas and features which may
be a hazard and potentially cause injury when working
with the unit unless suitable safety precautions are taken.
It is important to ensure access to the unit is restricted
to suitably qualifi ed persons who are familiar with the
potential hazards and precautions necessary for safe
operation and maintenance of equipment containing
high temperatures, pressures and voltages.
Pressure Systems
The unit contains refrigerant vapour and liquid under
pressure, release of which can be a danger and cause
injury. The user should ensure that care is taken during
installation, operation and maintenance to avoid damage
to the pressure system. No attempt should be made
to gain access to the component parts of the pressure
system other than by suitably trained and qualifi ed
personnel.
Electrical
The unit must be earthed. No installation or maintenance
work should be attempted on electrical equipment
without fi rst switching off, isolating and locking-off the
power supplies. Work on live equipment must only be
carried-out by suitably trained and qualifi ed personnel.
No attempt should be made to gain access to inside of
the control panel, wiring or other electrical enclosures
during normal operation of the unit.
Rotating Parts
Motor air vent guards and drive coupling guards must
be fi tted at all times and not removed unless the main
power supply has been isolated.
Refrigerants and Oils
Refrigerants and oils used in the unit are generally
non-toxic, non-fl ammable and non-corrosive, and pose
no special safety hazards. Use of gloves and safety
glasses are, however, recommended when working on
the unit. Build up of refrigerant vapour, from a leak for
example, does pose a risk of asphyxiation in confi ned or
enclosed spaces and attention should be given to good
ventilation. For more comprehensive information on
safety precautions for use of refrigerants and oils, refer
to the Materials Safety Data tables provided.
