SAFETY CONSIDERATIONS
Installation and servicing of air-conditioning equipment can be
hazardous due to system pressure and electrical components. Only
trained and qualified service personnel should install, repair, or
service air-conditioning equipment.
Untrained personnel can perform basic maintenance functions of
cleaning coils and filters and replacing filters. All other operations
should be performed by trained service personnel. When working
on air-conditioning equipment, observe precautions in the
literature, tags and labels attached to the unit, and other safety
precautions that may apply.
Follow all safety codes, including ANSI (American National
Standards Institute) Z223.1. Wear safety glasses and work gloves.
Use quenching cloth for unbrazing operations. Have fire
extinguisher available for all brazing operations.
It is important to recognize safety information. This is the safety-
alert symbol
. When you see this symbol on the unit and in
instructions or manuals, be alert to the potential for personal
injury.
