Water, as it Can Cause Rusting of Many Internal Parts. Failure to follow these warnings will result in damage to the equipment and void the warranty. * USA Lab is not responsible for any loss or harm incurred by using any transfer fluid * 4.3 Tubing Connections Precautions: Fluid lines should be unobstructed without any hard bends in the run.
4.4 Electrical Connections Each unit has its own power requirements, please understand their differences. This unit must be operated on its own circuit Installed by a licensed professional. DO NOT attempt to replace/extend the power cord of the unit. Failure and injury will result. All units must be hardwired into a general duty safety switch or a lockout: Chiller compressor starting amperage calculation: Nominal amperage + 25% Example.
4.5 Operating Area Always leave at least 24-36 inches around the unit. Obstructing the ventilation will cause poor performance or part failure. Always keep the operating area clean and organized to prevent injury or damage. Only operate the unit in a climate-controlled facility. Normal operating temperature is 70°F or 20°C. If the temperature exceeds 90°F or 32°C performance will be degraded.
Section 5 | Maintenance 5.1 Periodic Maintenance Shut off the breaker AND disconnect the power cord before any maintenance Use a damp soft cloth to wipe clean. Stubborn stains should be cleaned by neutral detergents. The maintenance of internal electrical and cooling parts must be performed by professionals or trained electricians.
6.2 Troubleshooting Problem Cause Solution A. Move high leg to L3. A. Phase protection shutdown. (Except 60/80) B. No power from panel. B. Reset breaker or check fuses. No power C. Panel has power, chiller does C. Check breaker on the chiller. not.
