SAFETY CONSIDERATIONS

Installing, starting up, and servicing air

conditioning

equipment can be hazardous due to system pressures,

electrical components, and equipment location (roofs,

elevated structures, etc.).
Only trained, qualified installers and service mechanics

should install, start

up, and service this equipment.

Untrained personnel can perform basic maintenance

functions such as cleaning coils. All other operations should

be performed by trained service personnel.
When working on the equipment, observe precautions in the

literature and on tags, stickers, and labels attached to the

equipment.

Follow all safety codes. Wear safety glasses and work

gloves. Keep quenching cloth and fire extinguisher nearby

when brazing. Use care in handling, rigging, and setting

bulky equipment.
Read these instructions thoroughly and follow all warnings

or cautions included in literature and  attached to the unit.

Consult local building codes and National Electrical Code

(NEC) for special requirements. In Canada, refer to current

editions of the Canadian Electrical Code, CSA 22.1. 

Recognize safety information. This is the safety

alert

symbol 

!

!

. When you see this symbol on the unit and in

instructions or manuals, be alert to the potential for personal

injury.Understand these signal words: DANGER,

WARNING, and CAUTION.  These words are used with the

safety

alert symbol. DANGER identifies the most serious

hazards which 

will 

result in severe personal injury or death.

WARNING signifies hazards which 

could

 result in personal

injury or death.  CAUTION is used to identify unsafe

practices which 

may 

result in minor personal injury or

product and property damage. NOTE is used to highlight

suggestions which 

will

 result in enhanced installation,

reliability, or operation.

!

WARNING

ELECTRICAL SHOCK HAZARD

Failure to follow this warning could result in personal

injury or death.
Before installing, modifying, or servicing system, main

electrical disconnect switch must be in the OFF

position. There may be more than 1 disconnect switch.

Lock out and tag switch with a suitable warning label.

CAUTION

!

EQUIPMENT DAMAGE HAZARD

Failure to follow  this caution may result in equipment

damage or improper operation.
Do not bury more than 36 in. (914 mm) of refrigerant

pipe in the ground. If any section of pipe is buried, there

must be a 6 in. (152 mm) vertical rise to the valve

connections on the outdoor units. If more than the

recommended length is buried, refrigerant may migrate

to the cooler buried section during extended periods of

system shutdown. This causes refrigerant slugging and

could possibly damage the compressor at start

up.
