    • IMPORTANT: Crankcase heater should be energized 24 hours before unit start-up to prevent compressor damage as a result of slugging.
    • WARNING Improper installation, adjustment, alteration, service, or maintenance can cause property damage, personal injury, or loss of life. Installation and service must be performed by a licensed professional HVAC installer or equivalent, service agency, or the gas supplier.
    • CAUTION As with any mechanical equipment, contact with sharp sheet metal edges can result in personal injury. Take care while handling this equipment and wear gloves and protective clothing.
    • IMPORTANT The Clean Air Act of 1990 bans the intentional venting of refrigerants (CFCs and HCFCs) as of July 1, 1992. Approved methods of recovery, recycling, or reclaiming must be followed. Fines and/or incarceration may be levied for non-compliance.
    • WARNING Danger of explosion. Can cause injury, death, or equipment damage. Do not use oxygen to pressurize the refrigerant system. Oxygen and oil can combine to cause an explosion.
    • CAUTION Danger of equipment damage. Avoid deep vacuum operation. Do not use compressors to evacuate a system. Extremely low vacuums can cause internal arcing and compressor failure. Damage caused by deep vacuum operation will void the warranty.
    • CAUTION Danger of equipment damage. Be sure to attach the vacuum pump to the discharge and suction lines. Failure to do so may result in an incomplete vacuum and compressor damage.
