GENERAL SAFETY NOTICES
The following general safety notices supplement the specific warnings and cautions appearing elsewhere in
this manual. They are recommended precautions that must be understood and applied during operation
and maintenance of the equipment covered herein. The general safety notices are presented in the
following three sections labeled: First Aid, Operating Precautions and Maintenance Precautions. A listing
of the specific warnings and cautions appearing elsewhere in the manual follows the general safety notices.
FIRST AID
An injury, no matter how slight, should never go unattended. Always obtain first aid or medical attention
immediately.
OPERATING PRECAUTIONS
Always wear safety glasses.
Keep hands, clothing and tools clear of the evaporator and condenser fans.
No work should be performed on the unit until all circuit breakers and start-stop switches are turned off, and
power supply is disconnected.
Always work in pairs. Never work on the equipment alone.
In case of severe vibration or unusual noise, stop the unit and investigate.
MAINTENANCE PRECAUTIONS
Beware of unannounced starting of the evaporator and condenser fans. Do not open the condenser fan
grille or evaporator access panels before turning power off, and disconnecting and securing the power plug.
Be sure power is turned off before working on motors, controllers, solenoid valves and electrical control
switches. Tag circuit breaker and power supply to prevent accidental energizing of circuit.
Do not bypass any electrical safety devices, e.g. bridging an overload, or using any sort of jumper wires.
Problems with the system should be diagnosed, and any necessary repairs performed, by qualified service
personnel.
When performing any arc welding on the unit, disconnect all wire harness connectors from the modules in
the control box. Do not remove wire harness from the modules unless you are grounded to the unit frame
with a static-safe wrist strap.
In case of electrical fire, open circuit switch and extinguish with CO (never use water).
