SPECIFIC WARNING AND CAUTION STATEMENTS

To help identify the label hazards on the Unit and explain the level of awareness each one carries, an explanation is given with the appropriate consequences:

DANGER - means an immediate hazard which WILL result in severe personal injury or death.

WARNING - means to warn against hazards or unsafe conditions which COULD result in severe personal injury or death.

CAUTION - means to warn against potential hazard or unsafe practice which COULD result in minor personal injury, product or property damage.

The statements listed below are applicable to the refrigeration unit and appear elsewhere in this manual. These rec- ommended precautions must be understood and applied during operation and maintenance of the equipment covered herein.

WARNING

When servicing the unit, use caution when handling R-134a. The refrigerant when in contact with high temperatures (about 1000_F) will decompose into highly corrosive and toxic compounds.

WARNING

Be sure to avoid refrigerant coming in contact with the eyes. Should refrigerant come in contact with the eyes, wash eyes for a minimum of 15 minutes with potable water only. THE USE OF MINERAL OIL OR REFRIGERANT OILS IS NOT RECOMMENDED.

WARNING

Be sure to avoid refrigerant coming in contact with the skin. Should refrigerant come in contact

with the skin, it should be treated as if the skin had been frostbitten or frozen.

WARNING

Be sure ventilation in the workspace is adequate to keep the concentration of refrigerant below

1000 parts per million. If necessary, use portable blowers.

WARNING

Beware of rotating fan blades and unannounced starting of fans.

WARNING

Do not use a nitrogen cylinder without a pressure regulator. Never mix refrigerants with air for leak testing. It has been determined that pressurized, air-rich mixtures of refrigerants and air can undergo combustion when exposed to an ignition source.

WARNING

Never fill a refrigerant cylinder beyond its rated capacity. Cylinder may rupture due to excessive

pressure when exposed to high temperatures.

WARNING

When starting the unit, be sure that all manual refrigerant valves in the discharge line are open.

Severe damage could occur from extremely high refrigerant pressures.
