Safety Considerations

Installation, service, and repair of these units should be attempted only

by trained service technicians familiar with standard service instruction

and training material.
All equipment should be installed in accordance with accepted practices

and unit Installation Instructions, and in compliance with all national and

local  codes.  Power  should  be  turned  off  when  servicing  or  repairing

electrical  components.  Extreme  caution  should  be  observed  when

troubleshooting  electrical  components  with  power  on.  Observe  all

warning notices posted on equipment and in instructions or manuals.

Refrigeration  systems  contain  refrigerant  under  pressure.  Extreme

caution  should  be  observed  when  handling  refrigerants.  Wear  safety

glasses  and  gloves  to  prevent  personal  injury.  During  normal  system

operations, some components are hot and can cause burns. Rotating fan

blades can cause personal injury. Appropriate safety considerations are

posted throughout this manual where potentially dangerous techniques

are addressed.
Follow  all  safety  codes.  Wear  safety  glasses,  protective  clothing,  and

work gloves. Have a fire extinguisher available. Read these instructions

thoroughly and follow all warnings or cautions included in literature and

attached to the unit. Consult local building codes, the current editions of

the  National  Electrical  Code  (NEC)  NFPA  70  and  NFPA

90B-Installation Warm Air Heating and A/C Systems (Residential).
In Canada refer to the current editions of the Canadian Electrical Code

CSA C22.1.

Introduction

This  document  provides  required  system  information  necessary  to

WARNING

!

UNIT OPERATION AND SAFETY HAZARD

Failure  to  follow  this  warning  could  result  in  personal  injury  or

equipment damage.

R-410A  systems  operate  at  higher  pressures  than  standard  R-22

systems. Do not use R-22 service equipment or components on these

R-410A units. Ensure service equipment is rated for R-410A.

WARNING

!

PERSONAL INJURY AND PROPERTY DAMAGE 

HAZARD

For continued  performance,  reliability, and safety, the  only  approved

accessories and replacement parts are those specified by the equipment

manufacturer.  The  use  of  non-manufacturer  approved  parts  and

accessories could invalidate the equipment limited warranty and result

in  fire  risk,  equipment  malfunction,  and  failure.  Please  review

manufacturer's  instructions  and  replacement  part  catalogs  available

from your equipment supplier.
