Section 3: Safety - Taylor 432 Operator's Manual

Section 3
We at Taylor Company are concerned about the safety of
the operator 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 both operators and service technicians.
Installing and servicing refrigeration equipment can be
hazardous due to system pressure and electrical
components. Only trained and qualified service
personnel should install, repair, or service refrigeration
equipment. 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 result in component replacement and
service repair expenses.
NOTICE! DO NOT operate the 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. Where limited machine
operation is allowed for public use, such as a self-serve
application, supervision or instruction concerning the use
of the machine by a person responsible for their safety is
required. Children should be supervised to ensure that
they do not play with the machine.

• The main power supplies to the machine must
be disconnected prior to performing installation,
repairs, or maintenance.
• For Cord-Connected Machines: Only Taylor
service technicians or licensed electricians may
install a plug or replacement cord on the
machine.
• 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
installation, shall have protective devices to
protect against the leakage of current, such as a
GFI, installed by the authorized personnel to the
local codes.
• Stationary machines which are not equipped
with a power cord and a plug or another device
to disconnect the machine from the power
source must have an all-pole disconnecting
device with a contact gap of at least 0.125 in. 
(3 mm) installed in the external installation.
Supply cords used with this machine shall be 
•
oil-resistant, sheathed flexible cable not lighter
than ordinary polychloroprene or other
equivalent synthetic elastomer-sheathed cord
(code designation 60245 IEC 57) installed with
the proper cord anchorage to relieve conductors
from strain, including twisting, at the terminals
and protect the insulation of the conductors from
abrasion.
• If the supply cord is damaged, it must be
replaced by an Taylor service technician in order
to avoid a hazard.
