Safety Precautions - Trane 15 Series Installer's Manual

Safety Precautions

Your personal safety and the proper operation of this equipment depend upon the strict observance of
these precautions.
WARNING
CAUTION
NOTICE
1. Installation should performed by a qualified HVAC professional. Industry Standard Personal Protective
Equipment (PPE) and gear for height related safety should be worn during installation. Improper
personal safety precautions and installation may cause death or serious injury.
2. Install the air conditioner according to the instructions given in this manual. Incomplete installation
work may cause water leakage, electrical shock or fire.
3. Use the supplied or specified installation parts. Use of other parts may cause the unit to come loose,
resulting in water leakage, electrical shock or fire.
4. Install the unit in a location that can support the weight of the unit. An inadequate support structure
or incomplete installation may cause injury or property damage in the event the unit falls off of the
installation location. Refer to the installation specifications for additional requirements.
5. Electrical work should be carried out in accordance with the installation manual and local, state and
National Electric Code (NEC). Insufficient capacity or incomplete electrical work may cause electrical
shock or fire.
6. Use a dedicated power circuit. Never use a power supply shared by another appliance.
7. For wiring, use a cable that is long enough to cover the entire distance without splicing. Do not use an
extension cord. Do not put other loads on the power supply; use a dedicated power circuit. Failure to
do so may cause abnormal heat, electric shock or fire.
8. Use the specified types of wires for electrical connections between the indoor and outdoor units.
Firmly clamp the interconnecting wires so their terminals receive no external stresses. Incomplete
connections or clamping may cause terminal overheating or fire.
9. After joining the interconnecting and supply wiring, shape the cables so that they do not put undue
force on the electrical covers or panels. Install covers over the wires. Incomplete cover installation may
cause terminal overheating, electrical shock, or fire.
10. If any refrigerant leaks out during the installation, ventilate the room. The refrigerant produces a toxic
gas if exposed to flames.
11. When installing or relocating the system, keep the refrigerant circuit free from substances other than
the specified refrigerant (R410-A), such as air. The presence of air or other foreign substances in the
refrigerant circuit can cause an abnormal pressure rise or rupture, which could result in injury and
damage.
