SERVICE MANUAL
4SCU23LX
This is a safety alert symbol and should never be ignored. When you see this symbol on labels or in manuals, be alert to
the potential for personal injury or death.
Improper installation, adjustment, alteration, service
or maintenance can cause property damage, personal
injury or loss of life. Installation and service must be
performed by a licensed professional HVAC installer or
equivalent, service agency, or the gas supplier.
To prevent serious injury or death:
Lock-out/tag-out before performing maintenance.
If system power is required (e.g., smoke detector
maintenance), disable power to blower, remove fan
belt where applicable, and ensure all controllers
and thermostats are set to the "OFF" position before
performing maintenance.
Always keep hands, hair, clothing, jewelry, tools, etc.
away from moving parts.
