WARNING
Contains Refrigerant under Pressure!
System contains oil and refrigerant under high pressure. Recover refrigerant to relieve pressure
before opening the system. See unit nameplate for refrigerant type. Do not use non-approved
refrigerants, refrigerant substitutes, or refrigerant additives. Failure to follow proper procedures
or the use of non-approved refrigerants, refrigerant substitutes, or refrigerant additives could
result in death or serious injury or equipment damage.
WARNING
R-410A Refrigerant under Higher Pressure than R-22!
The units described in this manual use R-410A refrigerant which operate at higher pressures
than R-22 refrigerant. Use ONLY R-410A rated service equipment or components with this unit.
For specific handling concerns with R-410A, please contact your local Trane representative.
Failure to use R-410A rated service equipment or components could result in equipment
exploding under R-410A high pressures which could result in death, serious injury, or equipment
damage.
WARNING
Harmful Ultraviolet (UV) Lights!
Do not field install ultraviolet lights in the manufacturer air handling equipment for the intended
purpose of improving indoor air quality. High intensity C-band ultraviolet light is known to
severely damage polymer (plastic) materials and poses a personal safety risk to anyone exposed
to the light without proper personal protective equipment (can cause damage to eyes and skin).
Polymer materials commonly found in HVAC equipment that may be susceptible include
insulation on electrical wiring, fan belts, thermal insulation, various fasteners and bushings.
Degradation of these materials could result in serious damage to the equipment. Failure to
follow this recommendation could result in death or serious injury and equipment damage. The
manufacturer accepts no responsibility for the performance or operation of our air handling
equipment in which ultraviolet devices were installed outside of the manufacturer’s factory.
NOTICE
Roof Damage!
System contains oil and refrigerant under high pressure. Roofs should be protected from
exposure to oils and refrigerant in the system. If rooftop is not protected damage to the roof may
occur.
