SECTION 1 – GENERAL CHILLER INFORMATION AND SAFETY

INTRODUCTION

YORK Millennium YCAR chillers are manufactured
to the highest design and construction standards to en-
sure high performance, reliability and adaptability to all
types of air conditioning installations.
The unit is intended for cooling water or glycol solu-
tions and is not suitable for purposes other than those
specified in this manual.
This manual and the Microprocessor Operating Instruc-
tions contain all the information required for correct in-
stallation and commissioning of the unit, together with

should be read thoroughly before attempting to operate
or service the unit.
All procedures detailed in the manuals, including in-
stallation, commissioning and maintenance tasks, must
only be performed by suitably trained and qualified
personnel.
The manufacturer will not be liable for any injury or
damage caused by incorrect installation, commission-
ing, operation or maintenance resulting from a failure
to follow the procedures and instructions detailed in the
manuals.

WARRANTY

YORK warrants all equipment and materials against
defects in workmanship and materials for a period of
one year from initial start-up, or eighteen months from
delivery (whichever occurs first) unless extended war-
ranty has been agreed upon as part of the contract.
The warranty is limited to parts-only replacement and
shipping of any faulty part or sub-assembly which has
failed due to poor quality or manufacturing errors. All

All warranty claims must specify the unit model, serial
number, order number and run hours/starts. These de-
tails are printed on the unit identification plate.
The unit warranty will be void if any modification to the
unit is carried out without prior written approval from
YORK.
