Section 1. Safety Information - Trane Performance Climate Changer Installation, Operation And Maintenance Manual

Contains Refrigerant!
System contains oil and refrigerant under high pressure. Recover refrigerant to relieve pressure
before opening the system. See unit nameplate for refrigerant type. Do not use non-approved
refrigerants, refrigerant substitutes, or refrigerant additives.
Failure to follow proper procedures or the use of non-approved refrigerants, refrigerant
substitutes, or refrigerant additives could result in death or serious injury or equipment damage.
Hazard of Explosion!
Use only dry nitrogen with a pressure regulator for pressurizing unit. Do not use acetylene,
oxygen or compressed air or mixtures containing them for pressure testing. Do not use mixtures
of a hydrogen containing refrigerant and air above atmospheric pressure for pressure testing as
they may become flammable and could result in an explosion. Refrigerant, when used as a trace
gas should only be mixed with dry nitrogen for pressurizing units. Failure to follow these
recommendations could result in death or serious injury or equipment or property-only damage.
Equipment Damage From Ultraviolet (UV) Lights!
Trane does not recommend field installation of ultraviolet lights in its air handling equipment for
the intended purpose of improving indoor air quality. High intensity C-band ultraviolet light is
known to severely damage polymer (plastic) materials and poses a personal safety risk to
anyone exposed to the light without proper personal protective equipment (could cause
damage to eyes and skin). Polymer materials commonly found in HVAC equipment that may be
susceptible include insulation on electrical wiring, fan belts, thermal insulation, various
fasteners and bushings. Degradation of these materials can result in serious damage to the
equipment.
Trane accepts no responsibility for the performance or operation of our air handling equipment
in which ultraviolet devices were installed outside of the Trane factory.
Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) Required!
Installing/servicing this unit could result in exposure to electrical, mechanical and chemical
hazards.
