Safety Instructions
General Precautions
• Always wear goggles or safety glasses.
Refrigerant liquid and battery acid can
permanently damage the eyes.
• Never operate the unit with the discharge
valve closed. Never close the compressor
discharge valve with the unit in operation.
• Keep your hands, clothing and tools clear of
the fans when the refrigeration unit is running.
If it is necessary to run the refrigeration unit
with covers removed, be very careful with
tools or meters being used in the area.
• Check the condition of the gauge manifold
hoses. Never let the hoses come in contact
with a fan motor blade or any hot surface.
• Never apply heat to a sealed refrigeration
system or container.
• Fluorocarbon refrigerants produce toxic gases
in the presence of an open flame or electrical
arc. The gases are severe respiratory irritants
capable of causing death.
• Firmly tighten all mounting bolts. Check each
bolt for correct length for their particular
application.
• Use extreme caution when drilling holes in the
unit. The holes may weaken structural
components. Holes drilled into electrical
wiring can cause fire or explosion. Holes
drilled into the refrigeration system may
release refrigerant.
• Use caution when working around exposed
coil fins. The fins can cause painful
lacerations.
• Use caution when working with a refrigerant
or refrigeration system in any closed or
confined area with a limited air supply (for
example, a trailer, container or in the hold of a
ship). Refrigerant tends to displace air and can
cause oxygen depletion. This can result in
suffocation and possible death.
• Use caution and follow the manufacturer’s
suggested practices when using ladders or
scaffolds
.
Refrigerant Oil Precautions
Observe the following precautions when working
with or around refrigerant oil:
• Do not allow refrigerant oil to contact your
eyes.
• Rubber gloves are recommended when
handling Polyol Ester based refrigerant oil.
• Do not allow prolonged or repeated contact
with skin or clothing.
• Immediately wash all exposed skin after
handling refrigerant oil.
Use the following First Aid practices if needed.
Eyes:
Immediately flush eyes with large amounts
of water. Continue flushing for at least 15 minutes
while holding the eyelids open. Get prompt
medical attention.
Skin:
Remove contaminated clothing. Wash
thoroughly with soap and water. Get medical
attention if irritation persists.
Inhalation:
Move victim to fresh air. Restore
breathing if necessary. Stay with victim until
arrival of emergency personnel.
Ingestion:
Do not induce vomiting. Contact a
local poison control center or physician
immediately.
Electrical Precautions
The possibility of serious or fatal injury from
electrical shock exists when servicing a
refrigeration unit. Extreme care must be used
when working with a refrigeration unit that is
connected to its power source. Extreme care must
be used even if the unit is not running. Lethal
voltage potentials can exist at the unit power cord,
inside the control box, inside any high voltage
junction box, at the motors and within the wiring
harnesses.
Precautions
• Turn the unit On/Off switch to Off before
connecting or disconnecting the unit power
plug. Never attempt to stop the unit by
disconnecting the power plug.
