IMPORTANT SAFETY GUIDELINES

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

! CAUTION

Risk of piping and component rupture. May cause injury or equipment damage.

Closing service valves may isolate liquid refrigerant, causing high pressure and rupture of piping. Do not close valves without follow recommended procedures for repair, maintenance and replacement of components. Installing pressure relief valves in field piping that may become isolated by service valves.

Fluorinated Greenhouse Gas Requirements—European Union

Stationary air conditioning, refrigeration, heat pump equipments and stationary fire protection systems in the European Community market and operating with fluorinated greenhouse gases (f-gas), such as R407C, R134a, R410A, must comply with the F-Gas Regulation: (EC) No. 842/2006 (F-gas). The regulation prohibits, among other actions, venting fluorinated greenhouse gases to the atmosphere.

The F-Gas Regulation also requires operators to use use all measures that are technically feasible and do not entail disproportionate cost to prevent leakage of these gases, to test for leakage regularly and to recover f-gas during equipment service and maintenance and before disposing of equipment.

Refer to the full regulation for additional details.
