Warnings, Cautions and Notices
Safety advisories appear throughout this manual as required. Your personal safety and the proper
operation of this machine depend upon the strict observance of these precautions.
The three types of advisories are defined as follows:
NOTICE
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 and HCFCs such as saturated or unsaturated HFCs and HCFCs.
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 according to local rules. For the USA, 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.
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/national electrical
codes.
Use of Refrigerant!
Failure to follow recommendations in the use of service equipment or components classified
for the use of R410A refrigerant, could give way to equipment or component explosion under
R410A pressures and as a result lead to death or serious injury or equipment damage. R410A
refrigerant works at a higher pressure than R22 refrigerant. Employ only service equipment or
components classified for use with this unit. In case of specific doubts related with the use of
refrigerant, consult your local Trane representative.
