BEFORE BEGINNING

You can avoid most problems by following the recommended installation, operation and maintenance procedures outlined in this User Guide. If you do have a problem, this section will help you determine what caused it and tell you how to fix it.

Before you begin troubleshooting:

❏Find the wiring, plumbing and other diagrams

that were shipped with your equipment. These

diagrams are the best reference for correcting a problem. The diagrams also will note any custom features, such as special wiring, control or plumbing options, not covered in this User Guide.

❏Verify that you have manuals for other equip-

ment in the process line. Solving problems may require troubleshooting malfunctions or incorrect operating procedures on other pieces of equipment.

	❏ If an alarm is present, note any indicator lights
	and messages shown on the control panel. These
	indicators will help you discover the cause of the problem
	more quickly.

A FEW WORDS	The chiller is equipped with many safety devices. Do not
A FEW WORDS	remove or defeat them. Improper corrective action can lead to
