First Aid; Low Voltage - Trane Thermo King Magnum Plus Operator's Manual

FIRST AID

IMMEDIATE action must be initiated after a
person has received an electrical shock. Obtain
immediate medical assistance.
The source of shock must be immediately
removed. Shut down the power or remove the
victim from the source. If it is not possible to
shut off the power, the wire should be cut with
either an insulated instrument (e.g., a wooden
handled axe or cable cutters with heavy
insulated handles). A rescuer wearing
electrically insulated gloves and safety glasses
could also cut the wire. Do not look at the wire
while it is being cut. The ensuing flash can
cause burns and blindness.
Pull the victim off with a non-conductive
material if the victim has to be removed from a
live circuit. Use the victim's coat, a rope, wood,
or loop your belt around the victim's leg or arm
and pull the victim off. Do not touch the victim.
You can receive a shock from current flowing
through the victim's body.
Check immediately for the presence of a pulse
and respiration after separating the victim from
power source. If a pulse is not present, start
CPR (Cardio Pulmonary Resuscitation) and
call for emergency medical assistance.
Respiration may also be restored by using
mouth-to-mouth resuscitation.

LOW VOLTAGE

Control circuits are low voltage (24 Vac and 12
Vdc). This voltage potential is not considered
dangerous. Large amount of current available
(over 30 amperes) can cause severe burns if
shorted to ground. Do not wear jewelry, watch
or rings. These items can shortcut electrical
circuits and cause severe burns to the wearer.
