Refrigerant
Although fluorocarbon refrigerants are classified as safe, use
caution when working with refrigerants or in areas where they
are being used.
CAUTION: Set all unit electrical controls to the OFF
position before connecting battery cables to the
battery to prevent unit from starting unexpectedly and
causing personal injury.
CAUTION: Always wear protective clothing, gloves
and eye wear when handling and installing batteries.
Battery acid can cause serious burns when exposed to
eyes or skin. If battery acid contacts skin or clothing,
wash immediately with soap and water. If acid enters
your eye, immediately flood it with running cold
water for at least twenty minutes and get medical
attention immediately.
CAUTION: Always cover battery terminals to prevent
them from making contact with metal components
during battery installation. Battery terminals
grounding against metal could cause the battery to
explode.
DANGER: Fluorocarbon refrigerants can produce
toxic gases. In the presence of an open flame or
electrical short, these gases are severe respiratory
irritants CAPABLE OF CAUSING DEATH.
DANGER: Fluorocarbon refrigerants tend to
displace air and can cause oxygen depletion which
could result in DEATH BY SUFFOCATION. Provide
adequate ventilation in enclosed or confined areas.
WARNING: Fluorocarbon refrigerants evaporate
rapidly, freezing anything they contact if accidentally
released into the atmosphere from the liquid state.
