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 equipment
other than its intended use, or operation of the equip-
ment contrary to the relevant procedures may result in
injury to the operator, or damage to the equipment.
The unit must not be operated outside the design pa-
rameters specified in this manual.
Structural Support

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

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.

The unit must be grounded. No installation or main-
tenance work should be attempted on the electrical
equipment without first switching power OFF, isolat-
ing and locking-off the power supply. Servicing and
maintenance on live equipment must only be per-
formed by suitably trained and qualified personnel. No
attempt should be made to gain access to the control
panel or electrical enclosures during normal operation
of the unit.
