ERSONNEL

As a professional installer, you have an obligation to know
the product better than the customer.  This includes all safety
precautions and related items.
Prior to actual installation, thoroughly familiarize yourself
with this Instruction Manual. Pay special attention to all
safety warnings. Often during installation or repair, it is
possible to place yourself in a position which is more haz-
ardous than when the unit is in operation.
Remember, it is 

your 

responsibility to install the product

safely and to know it well enough to be able to instruct a
customer in its safe use.
Safety is a matter of common sense...a matter of thinking
before acting. Most dealers have a list of specific good safety
practices...follow them.
The precautions listed in this Installation Manual are intended
as supplemental to existing practices.  However, if there is
a direct conflict between existing practices and the con-
tent of this manual, the precautions listed here take prece-
dence.

CARBON MONOXIDE POISONING HAZARD

 

Special Warning for Installation of Furnace or Air Handling Units in
Enclosed Areas such as Garages, Utility Rooms or Parking Areas

Carbon monoxide producing devices (such as an automobile, space
heater, gas water heater, etc.) should not be operated in enclosed areas
such as unventilated garages, utility rooms or parking areas because of
the danger of carbon monoxide (CO) poisoning resulting from the exhaust
emissions.  If a furnace or air handler is installed in an enclosed area such
as a garage, utility room or parking area and a carbon monoxide producing
device is operated therein, there must be adequate, direct outside
ventilation.

This ventilation is necessary to avoid the danger of CO poisoning which
can occur if a carbon monoxide producing device continues to operate in
the enclosed area.  Carbon monoxide emissions can be (re)circulated
throughout the structure if the furnace or air handler is operating in any
mode.

CO can cause serious illness including permanent brain damage or death.
