Special Service Situations
There are rare occasions when the refrigerant charge must be evacuated from a case in order 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 hydrofluorocarbons
(HFC’s) from being released into the atmosphere.
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 made should 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.
