Sample Warnings and Cautions

WARNING

Hazardous voltage! Disconnect all electric power, including remote disconnects before servicing. Follow proper lockout/ tagout procedures to ensure the power can not be inadvertently energized. Failure to disconnect power before servicing could result in death or serious injury.

Special Note on Refrigeration Emissions

World environmental scientists have concluded that ozone in our upper atmosphere is being reduced due to the release of CFC fully halogenated compounds.Trane urges all HVAC service personnel to make every effort to prevent any refrigerant emissions while installing, operating, or servicing equipment. Always conserve refrigerant for continued use and follow all warnings and cautions in this manual.
