IMPORTANT INFORMATION SAFE REFRIGERANT HANDLING While these items will not cover every conceivable situation, they should serve as a useful guide. WARNING WARNING O AVOID POSSIBLE EXPLOSION: EFRIGERANTS ARE HEAVIER THAN AIR. HEY CAN "PUSH OUT" THE • EVER APPLY FLAME OR STEAM TO A REFRIGERANT CYLINDER. F YOU OXYGEN IN YOUR LUNGS OR IN ANY ENCLOSED SPACE.
PRODUCT DESIGN LOCATION & CLEARANCES NOTE: To ensure proper condensate drainage, unit must be in- stalled in a level position. In installations where the unit is installed above ground level and not serviceable from the ground (Example: Roof Top installations) the installer must provide a service platform for the service person with rails or guards in accordance with local codes or ordinances.

This compressor will restart even Air for condensing (cooling) is drawn through the outdoor coil if the system has not equalized.
PRODUCT DESIGN The best protection for the wiring is the smallest fuse or breaker which will hold the equipment on line during normal operation WARNING without nuisance trips. Such a device will provide maximum circuit protection. WARNING DO NOT EXCEED THE MAXIMUM OVERCURRENT DEVICE SIZE SHOWN ON THE UNIT DATA PLATE.
