chillers and provide ETL/cETL listing label.
8. Manufactured in facility registered to ISO 9001.
9. OSHA – Occupied Safety and Health Act.
Responsibility for Safety
Every care has been taken in the design and manufac-
ture of the unit to ensure compliance with the safety
requirements listed above. However, the individual
operating or working on any machinery is primarily
responsible for:
•
Personal safety, safety of other personnel, and the
machinery.
•
Correct utilization of the machinery in accordance
with the procedures detailed in the manuals.
MISUSE OF EQUIPMENT
Suitability for Application
The unit is intended for cooling water or glycol solu-
tions and is not suitable for purposes other than those
specified in these instructions. Any use of the equip-
ment other than its intended use, or operation of the
equipment contrary to the relevant procedures may re-
sult in injury to the operator, or damage to the equip-
ment.
The unit must not be operated outside the design pa-
rameters specified in this manual.
Structural Support
Structural support of the unit must be provided as in-
dicated in these instructions. Failure to provide proper
support may result in injury to the operator, or damage
to the equipment and/or building.
Mechanical Strength
The unit is not designed to withstand loads or stresses
from adjacent equipment, pipework or structures. Ad-
ditional components must not be mounted on the unit.
Any such extraneous loads may cause structural failure
and may result in injury to the operator, or damage to
the equipment.
General Access
There are a number of areas and features, which may
be a hazard and potentially cause injury when working
on the unit unless suitable safety precautions are taken.
It is important to ensure access to the unit is restricted
to suitably qualified persons who are familiar with the
potential hazards and precautions necessary for safe
operation and maintenance of equipment containing
high temperatures, pressures and voltages.
Pressure Systems
The unit contains refrigerant vapor and liquid under
pressure, release of which can be a danger and cause
injury. The user should ensure that care is taken during
installation, operation and maintenance to avoid dam-
age to the pressure system. No attempt should be made
to gain access to the component parts of the pressure
system other than by suitably trained and qualified per-
sonnel.
