DANGER Never touch electrical components immediately after the power supply has been turned off. Electrical shock may occur. After turning off the power, always wait 10 minutes or more before touching electrical components. WARNING 1 Do not use this equipment with air or any other unspecified refrigerant in the refrigerant lines. Excess pressure can cause a rupture. 2 During installation, make sure that the refrigerant pipe is attached firmly before you run the compressor.
ABOUT THE PRODUCT 21 11 Precautions for using R410A refrigerant WARNING The basic installation work procedures are the same as conventional refrigerant models. However, pay careful attention to the following points: 1 Since the working pressure is 1.6 times higher than that of conventional refrigerant (R22) models, some of the piping and installation and service tools are special.
21 41 Optional parts CAUTION The following parts are optional parts specific to R410A refrigerant. Do not use parts other than those listed below. Refer to the installation manual for the Branch box and the Separation tubes.
