General
1.
All works must be carried out in accordance with the manufacturer’s installation and operating

Good working practices must be followed at all times so that Mechanical and Electrical hazards are

The equipment must be connected to an external electrical isolator if one is not supplied fitted to the

any work is started, electrically isolate the units to make sure that they cannot be switched on
accidentally and allow sufficient time for isolated parts to come to rest before removing panels.
Electrical isolation switches must be labelled to show that they are OFF during servicing and
maintenance operations.
Note:
Some units are dormant in standby mode and can restart without warning if they are not
electrically isolated.

Care must be taken not to touch components or pipework which may be extremely hot or cold, for a
period after the unit is electrically isolated.

After completing any tasks ensure all guards, covers and doors are correctly refitted before restoring
the power supply to the unit.

Air conditioning equipment may generate unacceptable noise levels. If noise levels are unacceptable
sound and vibration attenuators may be required. For noise level guidance refer to technical
literature, or contact the supplier for advice.
