Section 3: Safety - Taylor 8756 Operator's Manual

Section 3
We at Taylor Company are concerned about the safety of
operators at all times when they are coming in contact
with the machine and its parts. Taylor makes every effort
to design and manufacture built-in safety features to
protect operators and service technicians.
Installing and servicing refrigeration equipment can be
hazardous because of system pressure and electrical
components. Only trained and qualified service
personnel should install, repair, or service.
When working on refrigeration equipment, observe
precautions noted in the literature, tags and labels
attached to the machine, and other safety precautions
that may apply. Follow all safety code requirements.
Wear safety glasses and work gloves.
DANGER! Failure to adhere to the following
safety precautions may result in severe personal injury or
death. Failure to comply with these warnings may also
damage the machine and/or its components. Such
damage may require component replacement and
service repair expenses.
NOTICE! DO NOT operate this machine
without reading this entire manual first. Failure to follow
all of these operating instructions may result in damage
to the machine, poor performance, health hazards, or
personal injury.
IMPORTANT! This machine is to be used only
by trained personnel. It is not intended for use, cleaning,
or maintenance by children or people with reduced
physical, sensory, or mental capabilities or lack of
experience and knowledge, unless given supervision or
instruction concerning the use of the machine by a

• Machines that are permanently connected to
fixed wiring and for which leakage currents may
exceed 10 mA, particularly when disconnected
or not used for long periods, or during initial

GFI, installed by the authorized personnel to
local codes.
• Stationary machines that are not equipped with
a power cord and a plug or another device to

and protect the insulation of the conductors from
abrasion.
