Important

Environmental Concerns!

Scientific research has shown that certain man-made chemicals can affect the earth's naturally
occurring stratospheric ozone layer when released to the atmosphere. In particular, several of the
identified chemicals that may affect the ozone layer are refrigerants that contain Chlorine, Fluorine
and Carbon (CFCs) and those containing Hydrogen, Chlorine, Fluorine and Carbon (HCFCs). Not all
refrigerants containing these compounds have the same potential impact to the environment.
Trane advocates the responsible handling of all refrigerants-including industry replacements for
CFCs such as HCFCs and HFCs.
Responsible Refrigerant Practices!
Trane believes that responsible refrigerant practices are important to the environment, our
customers, and the air conditioning industry. All technicians who handle refrigerants must be
certified. The Federal Clean Air Act (Section 608) sets forth the requirements for handling,
reclaiming, recovering and recycling of certain refrigerants and the equipment that is used in these
service procedures. In addition, some states or municipalities may have additional requirements
that must also be adhered to for responsible management of refrigerants. Know the applicable
laws and follow them.
Electrocution and Fire Hazards with Improperly Installed and Grounded
Field Wiring!
Improperly installed and grounded field wiring poses FIRE & ELECTROCUTION hazards. To avoid
these hazards, you MUST follow requirements for field wiring installation and grounding as
described in the National Electrical Codes (NEC) and your local/state electrical codes. All field
wiring MUST be performed by qualified personnel. Failure to follow these requirements could
result in death or serious injury.
