Warnings, Cautions and Notices
Warnings, Cautions and Notices.
Note that warnings,
cautions and notices appear at appropriate intervals
throughout this manual. Warnings are provided to alert
installing contractors to potential hazards that could result
in death or personal injury. Cautions are designed to alert
personnel to hazardous situations that could result in
personal injury, while notices indicate a situation that
could result in equipment or property-damage-only
accidents.
Your personal safety and the proper operation of this
machine depend upon the strict observance of these
precautions.
Read this manual thoroughly before operating or servicing
this unit.
Environmental Concerns!
Scientific research has shown that certain man-made
chemicals can affect the earth’s naturally occurring
stratospheric ozone layer when released to the
atmosphere. In particular, several of the identified
chemicals that may affect the ozone layer are refrigerants
that contain chlorine, fluorine, and carbon (CFCs) and
those containing hydrogen, chlorine, fluorine and carbon
(HCFCs). Not all refrigerants containing these compounds
have the same potential impact to the environment. Trane
advocates the responsible handling of all refrigerants,
including industry replacements for CFCs such as HCFCs
and HFCs.
Responsible Refrigerant Practices!
Trane believes that responsible refrigerant practices are
important to the environment, our customers, and the air
conditioning industry. All technicians who handle
refrigerants must be certified. The Federal Clean Air Act
(Section 608) sets forth the requirements for handling,
reclaiming, recovering and recycling of certain
refrigerants and the equipment that is used in these
service procedures. In addition, some states or
municipalities may have additional requirements that
must also be adhered to for responsible management of
refrigerants. Know the applicable laws and follow them.
ATTENTION:
Warnings, Cautions and Notices appear at
appropriate sections throughout this literature. Read
these carefully:
WARNING
Indicates a potentially hazardous
situation which, if not avoided, could
result in death or serious injury.
CAUTION
s
Indicates a potentially hazardous
situation which, if not avoided, could
result in minor or moderate injury. It
could also be used to alert against
unsafe practices.
NOTICE:
Indicates a situation that could result in
equipment or property-damage only
WARNING
Proper Field Wiring and Grounding
Required!
All field wiring MUST be performed by qualified
personnel. Improperly installed and grounded field wiring
poses FIRE and ELECTROCUTION hazards. To avoid these
hazards, you MUST follow requirements for field wiring
installation and grounding as described in NEC and your
local/state electrical codes. Failure to follow code could
result in death or serious injury.
WARNING
Personal Protective Equipment (PPE)
Required!
Installing/servicing this unit could result in exposure to
electrical, mechanical and chemical hazards.
•
Before installing/servicing this unit, technicians MUST
put on all Personal Protective Equipment (PPE)
recommended for the work being undertaken. ALWAYS
refer to appropriate MSDS sheets and OSHA guidelines
for proper PPE.
•
When working with or around hazardous chemicals,
ALWAYS refer to the appropriate MSDS sheets and
OSHA guidelines for information on allowable personal
exposure levels, proper respiratory protection and
handling recommendations.
•
If there is a risk of arc or flash, technicians MUST put on
all Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) in accordance
with NFPA 70E or other country-specific requirements
for arc flash protection, PRIOR to servicing the unit.
Failure to follow instructions could result in death or
serious injury.
WARNING
Equipment Damage From Ultraviolet (UV)
Lights!
Trane does not recommend field installation of ultraviolet
lights in its air handling equipment for the intended
purpose of improving indoor air quality. High intensity C-
band ultraviolet light is known to severely damage
polymer (plastic) materials and poses a personal safety
risk to anyone exposed to the light without proper
personal protective equipment (can cause damage to eyes
and skin). Polymer materials commonly found in HVAC
equipment that may be susceptible include insulation on
electrical wiring, fan belts, thermal insulation, various
fasteners and bushings. Degradation of these materials
could result in serious damage to the equipment.
Trane accepts no responsibility for the performance or
operation of our air handling equipment in which
ultraviolet devices were installed outside of the Trane
factory.
