Warnings are posted throughout the manual. Read and follow these important instructions. Failure to
observe these instructions or use other than specified may impair safety protection, void the warranty,
and can result in permanent damage to the unit, significant property damage, personal injury and/or
death.

If the set point is 10
o
C or below, a freezing point depression additive, such as ethylene
glycol, is required. This unit is equipped with a low flow switch. This feature will shut
the chiller down during a low flow situation to prevent freezing.
DO NOT USE AUTOMOTIVE ANTI-FREEEZE IN THE CHILLER. The rust
inhibitors in the automotive type will cause premature failure of the pump seals. Use of
automotive anti-freeze in a Boyd chiller will void the warranty.
Never place the unit in a location where excessive heat, moisture, or corrosive materials
are present.
The unit must be plugged into a properly grounded power source.
Do not connect the SUPPLY or RETURN fitting to your building water supply or any
pressurized source.
Performance of installation, operation, or maintenance procedures other than those
described in this manual may result in a hazardous situation and may void the Boyd
warranty.
Transport the unit with care. Sudden jolts or drops can damage the unit.
Observe all warning labels. Never remove warning labels.
