SAFETY CONSIDERATIONS
Installation and servicing of air-conditioning equipment can
be hazardous due to system pressure and electrical compo-
nents. Only trained and qualified service personnel should
install, repair, or service air-conditioning equipment.
Untrained personnel can perform the basic maintenance
functions of cleaning coils and filters and replacing filters.
All other operations should be performed by trained service
personnel. When working on air-conditioning equipment,
observe precautions in the literature, tags and labels
attached to the unit, and other safety precautions that may
apply.
Follow all safety codes. Wear safety glasses and work gloves.
Use quenching cloth for unbrazing operations. Have fire
extinguishers available for all brazing operations.
IMPORTANT: Units have high ambient temperature operat-
ing limits. If limits are exceeded, the units will automatically
lock the compressor out of operation. Manual reset will be
required to restart the compressor.

2. Do not store or use gasoline or other flammable
vapors and liquids in the vicinity of this or any
other appliance.
What to do if you smell gas:
1. DO NOT try to light any appliance.
2. DO NOT touch any electrical switch, or use any
phone in your building.

WARNING:
Disconnect gas piping from unit when
pressure testing at pressure greater than 0.5 psig.
Pressures greater than 0.5 psig will cause gas valve
damage resulting in hazardous condition. If gas valve
is subjected to pressure greater than 0.5 psig, it must
be replaced before use. When pressure testing field-
supplied gas piping at pressures of 0.5 psig or less, a
unit connected to such piping must be isolated by clos-
ing the manual gas valve(s).
