EFRIGERANTS
Your refrigeration system uses the refrigerant gas R-404A. Federal law forbids the intentional release of the refrigerant gas to
the environment. You should make certain that any field service is performed by a specialist with the proper equipment to
prevent any loss of R-404A during servicing.
The following warnings can not cover every conceivable situation, but they should serve as a useful guide.
WARNING
The word “WARNING” indicates hazards or unsafe practices which COULD result in severe personal injury or death.
CAUTION
The word “CAUTION” indicates hazards or unsafe practices which COULD result in minor or moderate personal injury,
product damage, or property damage.
WARNING
To avoid personal injury, shock, or death, ensure the electrical disconnect switch(es) is (are) in the OFF position
before installing, modifying, or servicing the unit. Lock out and tag the switch with a suitable warning label. Wiring
must conform with NEC or CEC and all local codes.
NOTICE
Contains R-404A fluorinated greenhouse gas in sealed equipment. Refer to the condensing unit's product data plate
label for quantity of refrigerant shown in weight, global warming potential (GWP), and equivalent tonnes of CO2
(tCO2e). Any refrigerant added should be noted on unit label.
