1.1 Warnings and Cautions Regarding Safety of Workers
Warning
Do not store the equipment in a room with fire sources (e.g. naked flames,
gas appliances, electric heaters).
Be sure to disconnect the power cable from the socket before
disassembling equipment for repair.
Working on equipment that is connected to the power supply may cause an
electrical shock.
If it is necessary to supply power to the equipment to conduct the repair or
inspecting the circuits, do not touch any electrically charged sections of the
equipment.
If refrigerant gas is discharged during repair work, do not touch the
discharged refrigerant gas.
Refrigerant gas may cause frostbite.
When disconnecting the suction or discharge pipe of the compressor at
the welded section, evacuate the refrigerant gas completely at a well-
ventilated place first.
If there is gas remaining inside the compressor, the refrigerant gas or
refrigerating machine oil discharges when the pipe is disconnected, and it may
cause injury.
If refrigerant gas leaks during repair work, ventilate the area.
Refrigerant gas may generate toxic gases when it contacts flames.
Be sure to discharge the capacitor completely before conducting repair
work.
The step-up capacitor supplies high-voltage electricity to the electrical
components of the outdoor unit.
A charged capacitor may cause an electrical shock.
