II. Safety
Please adhere to the following warnings and cautions when
installing, adjusting, altering, servicing, or operating the

"construction heater" during the finishing
phases of construction on a new structure.
This type of use may result in premature
failure of the unit due to extremely low
return air temperatures and exposure to
corrosive or very dirty atmospheres.

ELECTROSTATIC DISCHARGE (ESD) PRECAUTIONS

NOTE: Discharge body's static electricity before touching
unit. An electrostatic discharge can adversely affect electrical
components.
Use the following precautions during furnace installation
and servicing to protect the integrated control module from
damage. By putting the furnace, the control, and the person
at the same electrostatic potential, these steps will help
avoid exposing the integrated control module to electro-
static discharge. This procedure is applicable to both
installed and non-installed (ungrounded) furnaces.
1. Disconnect all power to the furnace. Do not touch the
integrated control module or any wire connected to the
control prior to discharging your body's electrostatic
charge to ground.

2. Firmly touch a clean, unpainted, metal surface of the
furnaces near the control. Any tools held in a person's
hand during grounding will be discharged.
3. Service integrated control module or connecting wiring
following the discharge process in step 2. Use caution
not to recharge your body with static electricity; (i.e., do
not move or shuffle your feet, do not touch ungrounded
objects, etc.). If you come in contact with an un-
grounded object, repeat step 2 before touching control
or wires.
4. Discharge your body to ground before removing a new
control from its container. Follow steps 1 through 3 if
installing the control on a furnace. Return any old or
new controls to their containers before touching any
ungrounded object.
