Warnings, Cautions and Notices
Warnings, Cautions and Notices.
Note that warnings, cautions and notices appear at
appropriate intervals throughout this manual. Warnings are provide to alert installing contractors
to potential hazards that could result in personal injury or death. Cautions are designed to alert
personnel to hazardous situations that could result in personal injury, while notices indicate a
situation that may result in equipment or property-damage-only accidents.
Your personal safety and the proper operation of this machine depend upon the strict observance
of these precautions.
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 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
Refrigerant warning information!
Include the low or medium/high pressure warning as required for the equipment. If the refrigerant
is medium pressure, add the hazard of explosion warning.
WARNING
Grounding Required!
Follow proper local and state electrical code on requirements for grounding. Failure to follow code
could result in death or serious injury.
ATTENTION:
Warnings, Cautions and Notices appear at appropriate sections throughout
this literature. Read these carefully.

result in death or serious injury.
CAUTION:
Indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if not avoided, may result
in minor or moderate injury. It could also be used to alert against unsafe practices.
NOTICE
:
Indicates a situation that may result in equipment or property-damage only
