Operation must be carried out by competent personnel under a qualified supervisor.
All the water piping must be painted or clearly marked in accordance with local safety regulations in the place of installation.
ATTENTION
Never remove or tamper with the safety devices, guards or insulation materials fitted to the unit or auxiliary equipment.
All electrical connections must comply with local codes.
The unit and auxiliary equipment must be earthen and protected by fuses against short-circuits and overloading.
When mains power is switched on, lethal voltages are present in the electrical circuits and extreme caution must be exercised whenever it is
necessary to carry out any work on the electrical system.
Do not open any electrical panels or cabinets or touch any electrical components or associated equipment while voltage is applied unless it is
necessary for measurements, tests or adjustments. Such work should be carried out only by a qualified electrician equipped with the proper tools
and wearing appropriate body protection against electrical hazards.

ATTENTION
When disposing of parts and waste material of any kind make sure that there is no pollution of any drain or natural water-course and that no
burning of waste takes place which could cause pollution of the air. Protect the environment by using only approved methods of disposal.
Keep a written record of all maintenance and repair work carried out on the unit and auxiliary equipment. The frequency and the nature of the
work required over a period can reveal adverse operating conditions which should be corrected.
ATTENTION
Use only refrigerant gas specified on the specification plate of the unit.
Make sure that all instructions concerning operation and maintenance are strictly followed and that the complete unit, with all accessories and
safety devices, is kept in good working order. The accuracy of pressure and temperature gauges must be regularly checked. They must be
renewed when acceptable tolerances are exceeded.
ATTENTION
Do not weld or carry out any operation which produces heat near a system which contains oil or flammable liquids. The systems which may
contain oil or flammable liquids must be completely drained and cleaned (with steam, for example), before carrying out these operations.
The adjacent components must always be screened with non-flammable material and if the operation is to be carried out near any part of the
lubrication system, or close to a component which may contain oil, the system must first be thoroughly purged, preferably by steam cleaning.
Never use a light source with an open flame to inspect any part of the machine.
For every unit establish a suitable time schedule for cleaning operations.
ATTENTION
If replacement parts are needed use only original spares.
Avoid to damage the safety valves and other pressure relief devices.
All guards must be reinstated after carrying out repair or maintenance work.
ATTENTION
Check the direction of rotation of electric motors (the pump if installed) when starting up the unit initially and after any work on the
electrical connections or switch gear.
Do not use flammable liquid to clean any component during operation. If chlorinated hydrocarbon non-flammable fluids are used for cleaning,
safety precautions must be taken against any toxic vapors which may be released.
ATTENTION
Before removing any panels or dismantling any part of the unit, carry out the following operations:
- Isolate the unit from the main electrical power supply by disconnecting the cable from the electrical power source.
- Lock the isolator in the “OFF” position with a lock.
- Attach a warning label to the main isolator switch conveying: “WORK IN PROGRESS - DON NOT APPLY VOLTAGE”.
- Do not switch on electrical power or attempt to start the unit if a warning label is attached.
Coloured tracers can be used in service-maintenance operations.
