Safety Cautions SiUS281811EB 1. Safety Cautions Be sure to read the following safety cautions before conducting repair work. After the repair work is complete, be sure to conduct a test operation to ensure that the equipment operates normally, and explain the cautions for operating the product to the customer. This manual is for the person in charge of maintenance and...
Page 9
SiUS281811EB Safety Cautions Warning Be sure to discharge the capacitor completely before conducting repair work. The step-up capacitor supplies high-voltage electricity to the electrical components of the outdoor unit. A charged capacitor may cause an electrical shock. Do not turn the air conditioner on or off by plugging in or unplugging the power cable.
Safety Cautions SiUS281811EB Caution Be sure to check that the refrigerating cycle section has cooled down enough before conducting repair work. Working on the unit when the refrigerating cycle section is hot may cause burns. Conduct welding work in a well-ventilated place. Using the welder in an enclosed room may cause oxygen deficiency.
Page 11
SiUS281811EB Safety Cautions Warning Do not mix air or gas other than the specified refrigerant (R-410A) in the refrigerant system. If air enters the refrigerant system, an excessively high pressure results, causing equipment damage and injury. If the refrigerant gas leaks, be sure to locate the leaking point and repair it before charging the refrigerant.
Page 12
Safety Cautions SiUS281811EB Caution Be sure to measure insulation resistance after the repair, and make sure that the resistance is 1 M or greater. Faulty insulation may cause an electrical shock. Be sure to check the drainage of the indoor unit after the repair. Faulty drainage may cause water to enter the room and wet the furniture and floor.
