Special Service Situations
There are rare occasions when the refrigerant charge must be evacuated from a case to perform
service work. In those situations, Federal Industries recommends that the refrigerant charge be
evacuated into a recovery system to prevent the possibility of hydro-fluorocarbons (HFC’s) from
being released into the atmosphere. The release of HFC’s into the atmosphere is a potential
source of global warming.
If moisture or liquid is observed around or under a Federal Industries case, an immediate
investigation should be made by qualified personnel to determine the source of the moisture or
liquid. The investigation must determine if the case is malfunctioning or if there is a simple
housekeeping problem.
Moisture or liquid around or under a case is a potential slip/fall hazard for persons walking by or
working in the general area of the case. Any case malfunction or housekeeping problem that
creates a slip/fall hazard around or under a case should be corrected immediately.
SALE & DISPOSAL
Owner Responsibility
If you sell or give away your Federal Industries case, you must make sure that all safety labels
and the Installation-Service Manual are included with it. If you need replacement labels or
manuals, Federal Industries will provide them free of charge. Contact the customer service
department at Federal Industries at (800) 356-4206.
The customer service department at Federal Industries should be contacted at the time of sale or
disposal of your case so records may be kept of its new location.
If you sell or give away your Federal Industries case and you evacuate the refrigerant charge
before shipment, Federal Industries recommends that the charge be evacuated into a recovery
system to reduce the possibility of HCFC’s from being released into the atmosphere. The release
of HCFC’s into the atmosphere is a potential source of ozone depletion.
