Safety Precautions - Trane 17 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 qualifi ed 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 fi re.
3. Use the supplied or specifi ed installation parts. Use of other parts may cause the unit to come
loose, resulting in water leakage, electrical shock or fi re.
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 specifi cations for additional requirements.
5. Electrical work should be carried out in accordance with the installation manual and local, state
and National Electric Code (NEC). Insuffi cient capacity or incomplete electrical work may cause
electrical shock or fi re.
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 fi re.
8. Use the specifi ed 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 fi re.
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 fi re.
10. If any refrigerant leaks out during the installation, ventilate the room. The refrigerant produces a
toxic gas if exposed to fl ames.
11. When installing or relocating the system, keep the refrigerant circuit free from substances
other than the specifi ed refrigerant (R-410A), 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.
12. If a system pump-down is performed, turn off the associated equipment and close service valves
prior to removing the refrigerant piping. Failure to do so will introduce non-condensables in the
system, causing abnormal pressure in the refrigeration cycle which could lead to injury and
damage.
This mark indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if not avoided,
could result in death or serious injury.
This mark indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if not avoided,
could result in minor or moderate injury. It may also be used to alert against
unsafe practices.
This mark indicates a situation which could result in equipment and/or
property damage.
