Pre-Installation
WARNING
Fiberglass Wool!
Exposition to glass wool fibers without all necessary
PPE equipment could result in cancer, respiratory, skin
or eye irritation, which could result in death or serious
injury. Disturbing the insulation in this product during
installation, maintenance or repair will expose you to
airborne particles of glass wool fibers and ceramic
fibers known to the state of California to cause cancer
through inhalation.
You MUST wear all necessary Personal Protective
Equipment (PPE) including gloves, eye protection, a
NIOSH approved dust/mist respirator, long sleeves and
pants when working with products containing
fiberglass wool.
Precautionary Measures:
•
Avoid breathing fiberglass dust.
•
Use a NIOSH approved dust/mist respirator.
•
Avoid contact with the skin or eyes.Wear long-
sleeved, loose-fitting clothing, gloves, and eye
protection.
•
Wash clothes separately from other clothing; rinse
washer thoroughly.
•
Operations such as sawing, blowing, tear-out, and
spraying may generate fiber concentrations
requiring additional respiratory protection. Use the
appropriate NIOSH approved respirator.
First Aid Measures:
•
Eye Contact - Flush eyes with water to remove dust.
If symptoms persist, seek medical attention.
•
Skin Contact -Wash affected areas gently with soap
and warm water after handling.
Jobsite Inspection
Always perform the following checks before accepting a unit:
•
Verify that the nameplate data matches the data on the
sales order and bill of lading (including electrical data).
•
Verify that the power supply complies with the unit
nameplate specifications.
•
Visually inspect the exterior of the unit, for signs of
shipping damage. Do not sign the bill of lading
accepting the unit(s) until inspection has been
completed. Check for damage promptly after the unit(s)
are unloaded. Once the bill of lading is signed at the job
site, the unit(s) are now the property of the SOLD TO
party and future freight claims MAY NOT be accepted
by the freight company.
•
Verify that the refrigerant charge has been retained
during shipment by use of gauges. Schrader taps are
located external to the cabinet on the ¾-3 ton
equipment.
•
After assuring that charge has been retained, reinstall
the schrader caps to assure that refrigerant leakage
does not occur.
Jobsite Storage
NOTICE
Microbial Growth!
Wet interior unit insulation can become an
amplification site for microbial growth (mold), which
could result in odors and damage to the equipment and
building materials. If there is evidence of microbial
growth on the interior insulation, it should be removed
and replaced prior to operating the system.
NOTICE
Microbial Growth!
Failure to follow instructions below could result in
odors and damage to the equipment and building
materials.
The floor or foundation must be level and the
condensate drain at the proper height for proper
drainage and condensate flow. Standing water and wet
surfaces inside the equipment can become an
amplification site for microbial growth (mold). If there is
evidence of microbial growth on the interior insulation,
it should be removed and replaced prior to operating
the system.
This unit is intended for indoor use only. To protect the unit from
damage due to the elements, and to prevent possible IAQ
contaminant sources from growing, the unit should be stored
indoors. If indoor storage is not possible, the following
provisions for outdoor storage must be met:
•
Place the unit(s) on a dry surface or raise above the ground
to assure adequate air circulation beneath the unit.
•
Cover the unit(s) with a water proof tarp to protect them
from the elements.
•
Make provisions for continuous venting of the covered
units to prevent moisture from standing on the unit(s)
surfaces. Wet interior unit insulation can become an
amplification site for microbial growth which has been
determined to be a cause of odors and serious health
related indoor air quality problems.
•
Store refrigeration units (chassis) units in the normal UP
orientation to maintain oil in the compressor. Cabinet
configurations may be stored as crated.
•
Do not stack units.
