SAFETY CONSIDERATIONS

Installation of this unit can be hazardous due to electrical com-
ponents and equipment location (such as a ceiling or elevated
structure). Only trained, qualified installers and service
mechanics should install and service this equipment.
When installing this unit, observe precautions in the literature,
labels attached to the equipment, and any other safety precau-
tions that apply.
• Follow all safety codes.
• Wear safety glasses and work gloves. Never wear bulky
or loose fitting clothing when working on any mechani-
cal equipment. Gloves should be worn for proper protec-
tion against heat and other possible injuries. Safety
glasses or goggles should always be worn when drilling,
cutting, or working with chemicals such as refrigerants
or lubricants.
• Use care in handling and installing this unit.
• Never pressurize any equipment beyond specified test
pressures. Always pressure test with an inert fluid or gas
such as clear water or dry nitrogen to avoid possible
damage or injury in the event of a leak or component
failure during testing. Always protect adjacent flamma-
ble material when welding or soldering. Use a suitable
heat-shield material to contain sparks or drops of solder.
Have a fire extinguisher readily available.
WARNING
ELECTRIC SHOCK HAZARD. To avoid the possibility
of electrical shock, open and tag all service switches before
installing this equipment.

INTRODUCTION

Carrier fan coil units represent a prudent investment offer-
ing trouble-free operation and long service with proper installa-
