SAFETY CONSIDERATIONS
Installing and servicing air-conditioning equipment can be
hazardous due to system pressure and electrical compo-
nents. Only trained and qualified service personnel should
install or service air-conditioning equipment.
Untrained personnel may perform basic maintenance such
as cleaning and replacing filters. All other operations should
be performed by trained service personnel. When working on
air-conditioning equipment, observe safety precautions in
literature, and on tags and labels attached to unit.
Follow all safety codes. Wear safety glasses and work gloves.
Use quenching cloth for brazing operations. Have a fire extin-
guisher available. Read these instructions thoroughly. Con-
sult local building codes and National Electrical Code (NEC,
U.S.A. Standard) for special installation requirements.
