Safety Considerations - Bryant Preferred Series Installation Instructions Manual

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
literature, tags and labels attached to the unit, and other safety
precautions that may apply.
Follow all safety codes, including ANSI (American National
Standards 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
instructions 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.
ELECTRICAL SHOCK HAZARD
Failure to follow this warning will result in personal injury
or death.
Before performing service or maintenance operations on
unit, turn off main power switch to unit and install lock(s)
and lockout tag(s). Ensure electrical service to rooftop unit
agrees with voltage and amperage listed on the unit rating
plate. Unit may have more than one power switch.
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
pressure 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
manual gas valve(s).
WARNING
UNIT OPERATION AND SAFETY HAZARD
Failure to follow this warning could cause personal injury,
death and/or equipment damage.
R-410A refrigerant systems operate at higher pressures than
standard R-22 systems. Do not use R-22 service equipment or
components on R-410A refrigerant equipment.
DANGER
PERSONAL INJURY AND ENVIRONMENTAL
HAZARD
Failure to follow this warning could cause personal injury or
death.
Relieve pressure and recover all refrigerant before system
repair or final unit disposal.
Wear safety glasses and gloves when handling refrigerants.
Keep torches and other ignition sources away from
refrigerants and oils.
CARBON-MONOXIDE POISONING HAZARD
Failure to follow instructions could result in severe personal
injury or death due to carbon-monoxide poisoning, if
combustion products infiltrate into the building.
Check that all openings in the outside wall around the vent
(and air intake) pipe(s) are sealed to prevent infiltration of
combustion products into the building.
Check that furnace vent (and air intake) terminal(s) are not
obstructed in any way during all seasons.
AVERTISSEMENT
RISQUE D'INTOXICATION AU MONOXYDE DE
CARBONE
Si ces directives ne sont pas suivies, cela peut entraîner des
blessures graves ou une intoxication au monoxyde de carbone
pouvant causer la mort, si des produits de combustion
s'infiltrent dans le bâtiment.
Vérifier que toutes les ouvertures pratiquées dans le mur
extérieur autour du ou des tuyaux d'évent (et de la prise d'air)
sont scellées de manière à empêcher l'infiltration de produits
de combustion dans le bâtiment.
Veiller à ce que la ou les sorties de l'évent de l'appareil de
chauffage (et la prise d'air) ne soient, en aucune façon,
obstruées, quelle que soit la saison.
FIRE HAZARD
Failure to follow this warning could result in severe personal
injury and/or property damage.
Inlet pressure tap set screw must be tightened and
NPT pipe plug must be installed to prevent gas leaks.
