SAFETY CONSIDERATIONS
Installing, starting up, and servicing air- conditioning equipment can
be hazardous due to system pressures, electrical components, and
equipment location (roofs, elevated structures, etc.).
Only trained, qualified installers and service mechanics should install,
start- up, and service this equipment.
Untrained personnel can perform basic maintenance functions such as
coil cleaning. All other operations should be performed by trained
service personnel only.
When working on the equipment, observe the precautions in the
literature and on tags, stickers, and labels attached to the equipment.
Follow all safety [Link] safety glasses and work gloves. Keep a
quenching cloth and a fire extinguisher nearby when brazing. Use care
