Electric
shock hazard
Place a "Work in progress" sign near the circuit breaker while the installation, maintenance, repair
or removal work is being carried out.
There is a danger of electric shocks if the circuit breaker is set to ON by mistake.
When checking the electric parts, removing the cover of the electric parts box of Indoor Unit and/
or front panel of Outdoor Unit inevitably to determine the failure, put a sign "Do not enter" around
the site before the work. Failure to do this may result in third person getting electric shock.

Before operating the air conditioner after having completed the work, check that the electrical
parts box cover of the indoor unit and service panel of the outdoor unit are closed, and set the
circuit breaker to the ON position. You may receive an electric shock if the power is turned on
without first conducting these checks.
If, in the course of carrying out repairs, it becomes absolutely necessary to check out the
electrical parts with the electrical parts box cover of one or more of the indoor units and the
service panel of the outdoor unit removed in order to find out exactly where the trouble lies, wear
insulated heat-resistant gloves, insulated boots and insulated work overalls, and take care to
avoid touching any live parts.
