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

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.

Important 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
Proper Field Wiring and Grounding
Required!
Failure to follow code could result in death or serious
injury. All field wiring MUST be performed by qualified
personnel. Improperly installed and grounded field wiring
poses FIRE and ELECTROCUTION hazards. To avoid these
hazards, you MUST follow requirements for field wiring
installation and grounding as described in NEC and your
local/state electrical codes.
WARNING
Personal Protective Equipment (PPE)
Required!
Installing/servicing this unit could result in exposure to
electrical, mechanical and chemical hazards.
• Before installing/servicing this unit, technicians MUST
put on all PPE required for the work being undertaken
(Examples; cut resistant gloves/sleeves, butyl gloves,
safety glasses, hard hat/bump cap, fall protection,
electrical PPE and arc flash clothing). ALWAYS refer to
appropriate Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS)/Safety
Data Sheets (SDS) and OSHA guidelines for proper PPE.
• When working with or around hazardous chemicals,
ALWAYS refer to the appropriate MSDS/SDS and OSHA/
GHS (Global Harmonized System of Classification and
Labelling of Chemicals) guidelines for information on
allowable personal exposure levels, proper respiratory
protection and handling instructions.
• If there is a risk of energized electrical contact, arc, or
flash, technicians MUST put on all PPE in accordance
with OSHA, NFPA 70E, or other country-specific
requirements for arc flash protection, PRIOR to servicing
the unit. NEVER PERFORM ANY SWITCHING,
DISCONNECTING, OR VOLTAGE TESTING WITHOUT
PROPER ELECTRICAL PPE AND ARC FLASH CLOTHING.
ENSURE ELECTRICAL METERS AND EQUIPMENT ARE
PROPERLY RATED FOR INTENDED VOLTAGE.
Failure to follow instructions could result in death or
serious injury.
