SAFETY CONSIDERATIONS

Installation and servicing of air-conditioning  equipment
can be hazardous due to system pressure and electrical

components. Only trained and qualified service personnel

should install, repair, or service air-conditioning

equipment. Untrained personnel can perform the basic
maintenance functions of replacing filters. Trained service

personnel should perform all other operations.

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.

Follow all safety codes. Consult local building codes and

National Electrical Code (NEC) for special requirements.

Recognize safety information. This is the safety

alert

symbol 

. When you see this symbol on the unit and in

instructions or manuals, be aware of the potential for

physical injury hazards

.

Understand the signal words 

DANGER

WARNING

, and

CAUTION

. These words are used with the safety

alert

symbol. 

DANGER 

identifies a hazardous situation which,

if not avoided, 

will

 result in death or severe personal

injury. 

WARNING 

indicates a hazardous situation which,

if not avoided, 

could

 result in death or personal injury.

CAUTION 

indicates a hazardous situation which, if not

avoided, 

could

 result in minor  to moderate injury or

product and property damage. 

NOTICE 

is used to address

practices not related to physical injury. 

NOTE 

is used to

highlight suggestions which 

will

 result in enhanced

installation, reliability, or operation.
