Health and Safety

IMPORTANT
The information contained in this manual is critical to the correct operation and maintenance of the unit and should be
read by all persons responsible for the installation, commissioning and maintenance of the Airedale unit.
Safety
The equipment has been designed and manufactured to meet international safety standards but, like any mechanical/
electrical equipment, care must be taken if you are to obtain the best results.
When working with any air conditioning units ensure that the electrical isolator is switched off prior
to servicing or repair work, and that there is no power to any part of the equipment.
CAUTION
Also ensure that there are no other power feeds to the unit such as fire alarm circuits, BMS circuits
etc.
Electrical installation commissioning and maintenance work on this equipment should be undertaken by competent and
trained personnel in accordance with local relevant standards and codes of practice.
The refrigerant used in this range of products is classified under the COSHH regulations as an irritant, with set
Workplace Exposure Levels (WEL) for consideration if this plant is installed in confined or poorly ventilated areas.
A full hazard data sheet in accordance with COSHH regulations is available should this be required.
Protective Personal Equipment
Airedale recommends that personal protective equipment is used whilst installing, maintaining and commissioning
equipment.
Refrigerant Warning
The Airedale Easicool unit uses R410A refrigerant which requires careful attention to proper storage and handling
procedures.
Use only manifold gauge sets designed for use with R410A refrigerant. Use only refrigerant recovery units and cylinders
designed for high pressure refrigerants.
R410A must only be charged in the liquid state to ensure correct blend makeup.
The refrigerant must be stored in a clean, dry area away from sunlight. The refrigerant must never be stored above
50°C.

Manual Handling

Some operations when servicing or maintaining the unit may require additional assistance with regard to manual
handling. This requirement is down to the discretion of the engineer.
Remember do not perform a lift that exceeds your ability.
