by trained service personnel. When working on air-conditioning
equipment, observe precautions in the literature, tags, and labels
attached to the unit, and other safety precautions that may apply.
Follow all safety codes. Wear safety glasses and work gloves. Use
quenching cloth for unbrazing operations. Have fire extinguisher
available for all brazing operations. Consult a qualified installer or
service agency for information or assistance. The qualified in-
staller or agency must use only factory-authorized kits or acces-
sories when modifying this product.
