SAFETY CONSIDERATIONS
Installing and servicing air-conditioning equipment can be
hazardous due to system pressure and electrical compo-
nents. Only trained and qualified service personnel should
install or service air-conditioning equipment.
When working on air-conditioning equipment, observe pre-
cautions in literature and on tags and labels attached to unit.
Follow all safety codes. Wear safety glasses and work gloves.
Use quenching cloth for brazing operations. Have fire ex-
tinguisher available. Read these instructions thoroughly. Con-
sult local building codes and National Electrical Code U.S.A.

main power to system. There may be more than one dis-
connect switch. Electrical shock can cause personal
injury.
