Introduction
Read this manual carefully, making sure you understand all the instructions, practices and procedures contained in this manual. Be sure
you are familiar with all the safety advisories that appear throughout this manual. Your personal safety depends upon your observance
of all precautions contained in this manual.
Safety advisories appear throughout this manual and your personal safety and the proper operation of this appliance depend upon the
strict observance of these precautions.
The 3 types of advisories are defined in the following table:
Important Environmental Concerns
Studies have shown that certain man-made chemicals can affect the earth's stratospheric ozone layer when released into the
atmosphere. Refrigerants that contain Chlorine, Fluorine and Carbon (CFCs) and those containing Hydrogen, Chlorine, Fluorine and
Carbon (HCFCs), may affect the ozone layer. Not all refrigerants have the same potential impact on the environment. YMGI Group
advocates for the responsible handling of all refrigerants including industry replacements for CFCs such as HCFCs and HFCs.
Responsible Refrigerant Practices
YMGI Group believes that responsible refrigerant practices are important to our customers, the HVAC/R industry and the environment.
All HVAC/R technicians who handle refrigerants must be certified. The Federal Clean Air Act (Section 608) sets forth the requirements
for handling, reclaiming, recovering and recycling of certain refrigerants, the equipment and tools necessary to perform these service
procedures. In addition, some states or municipalities may have additional requirements that must also be adhered to for responsible
management of refrigerants. HVAC/R technicians must know the applicable laws and follow them.
Disposal Notice
Do not dispose this product or its components as unsorted municipal waste, as they contain items that may require special treatment.
Contact your local waste management company for details.
Proper Field Wiring and Grounding Required!
Failure to follow established electrical codes can result in death, serious personal injury and property damage. All field wiring MUST be
performed by qualified personnel. Improperly installed and grounded field wiring poses FIRE and ELECTROCUTION hazards. To avoid
these hazards, you MUST follow the requirements for field wiring installation and grounding as described in this manual and by NEC and
your state and local electrical codes.
Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) Required!
Failure to wear proper PPE for the job being undertaken could result in serious injury or even death. Technicians must take the necessary
precautions to protect themselves from potential electrical, mechanical, and chemical hazards and MUST follow all precautions in this
manual and on the tags, stickers, and labels, as well as the instructions below:
•
