Important
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 and 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.
WARNING
Contains Refrigerant!
System contains oil and refrigerant under high pressure. Recover
refrigerant to relieve pressure before opening the system. See

refrigerants, refrigerant substitutes, or refrigerant additives.
Failure to follow proper procedures or the use of non-approved
refrigerants, refrigerant substitutes, or refrigerant additives could
result in death or serious injury or equipment damage.
