SAFETY CONSIDERATIONS

Installation and servicing of air-conditioning equipment can be
hazardous due to system pressure and electrical components. Only
trained and qualified service personnel should install, repair, or
service air-conditioning equipment.
Untrained personnel can perform basic maintenance functions of
cleaning coils and filters and replacing filters. All other operations
should be performed by trained service personnel. When working
on air-conditioning equipment, observe precautions in the litera-
ture, tags and labels attached to the unit, and other safety precau-
tions that may apply.
Follow all safety codes, including ANSI (American National Stan-
dards Institute) Z223.1. Wear safety glasses and work gloves. Use
quenching cloth for unbrazing operations. Have fire extinguisher
available for all brazing operations.
It is important to recognize safety information. This is the safety-
alert symbol
. When you see this symbol on the unit and in in-
structions or manuals, be alert to the potential for personal injury.
Understand the signal words DANGER, WARNING, CAUTION,
and NOTE. These words are used with the safety-alert symbol.
DANGER identifies the most serious hazards which will result in
severe personal injury or death. WARNING signifies hazards
which could result in personal injury or death. CAUTION is used
to identify unsafe practices, which may result in minor personal
injury or product and property damage. NOTE is used to highlight
suggestions which will result in enhanced installation, reliability,
or operation.
WARNING
FIRE, EXPLOSION HAZARD
Failure to follow this warning could result in death, serious
personal injury and/or property damage.
Disconnect gas piping from unit when pressure testing at pres-
sure greater than 0.5 psig (3450 Pa). Pressures greater than
0.5 psig will cause gas valve damage resulting in hazardous
condition. If gas valve is subjected to pressure greater than
0.5 psig, it must be replaced before use. When pressure testing
field-supplied gas piping at pressures of 0.5 psig or less, a unit
connected to such piping must be isolated by closing the man-
ual gas valve(s).
