Page 3: Safety Summary
Always use a DOT (Department of Transportation) approved cylinder for storing used and recycled refrigerant. Approved cylinders will be stamped DOT 4BW or DOT 4BA. Carrier recommends a MACS (Mobile Air Conditioning Society) certification in Recovery/Recycling to gain more information on handling and using refrigerants. - Page 4 SPECIFIC WARNINGS AND CAUTIONS WARNING Do not attempt to modify the EM-3 evaporator top panel. Modifications to the top panel could struc- turally weaken the evaporator assembly, causing system failures and/or injuries to passengers. WARNING Do not use a nitrogen cylinder without a pressure regulator WARNING Never use air for leak testing.
- Page 5 CAUTION Because of the limited access to the block valve, start the fittings by hand (finger tightening) making sure that there is no cross-threading before tightening. When tightening the fittings, make sure that the Block Valve does not move. CAUTION Never route refrigerant hose, electrical cable or drain lines in any location where driver’s visibality would be impaired.
- Page 6 CAUTION Condenser assemblies must be properly installed using graded hardware. The CM-2 condenser as- sembly requires at least 4 bolts and the CM-3 requires at least 6 bolts. CAUTION When drilling into the vehicle wall, always use a drill stop to help protect against damaging any wir- ing that might be located behind the wall.
