Safety Precautions The symbol appears next to a point that is particularly important: CAUTION: Addresses a circumstance that, if encountered, may cause damage to equipment or minor injury. DANGER: Addresses a circumstance that, if encountered, will lead to death or serious injury. WARNING: Addresses a circumstance that, if encountered, might lead to death or serious injury. DANGER: Never apply heat to a sealed refrigeration system or container because it could explode, causing death or serious injury. DANGER: Fluorocarbon refrigerants, in the presence of an open flame or electrical short, produce toxic gases that are severe respiratory irritants capable of causing death. DANGER: Be careful when working with a refrigerant or refrigeration system in any enclosed or confined area with a limited air supply (i.e., a trailer, container or the hold of a ship). Refrigerant tends to displace air and can cause oxygen depletion which may result in death by suffocation. WARNING: Always wear goggles or safety glasses. Refrigerant liquid, refrigeration oil, battery acid and antifreeze can permanently damage the eyes (see First Aid under Refrigeration Oil). WARNING: Keep your hands away from fans and belts when the unit is running. This should also be considered when opening and closing the compressor service valves. WARNING: Make sure gauge manifold hoses are in good condition. Never let them come in contact with a belt, fan motor pulley, or any hot surface. WARNING: Make sure all mounting bolts are tight and are of correct length for their particular application. WARNING: Never drill holes in the unit unless absolutely necessary. Holes drilled into the unit may weaken structural components. Holes drilled into electrical wiring can cause fire or explosion. WARNING: When using ladders to install or service refrigeration systems, always observe the ladder manufacturer s safety labels and warnings. A work platform is the recommended method for installations. WARNING: Exposed coil fins are very sharp and can cause painful lacerations. 4
Safety Precautions Refrigerant First Aid WARNING: Although fluorocarbon refrigerants are classified as safe refrigerants, certain precautions must be observed when handling them or servicing a unit in which they are used. When released to the atmosphere in the liquid state, fluorocarbon refrigerants evaporate rapidly, freezing anything they contact. FROSTBITE: In the event of frost bite, the objectives of First Aid are to protect the frozen area from further injury, to warm the affected area rapidly and to maintain respiration. EYES: For contact with liquid, immediately flush eyes with large amounts of water and get prompt medical attention. SKIN: Flush area with large amounts of lukewarm water. Do not apply heat. Remove contaminated clothing and shoes. Wrap burns with dry, sterile, bulky dressing to protect from infection/injury. Get medical attention. Wash contaminated clothing before reuse. INHALATION: Move victim to fresh air and use CPR or mouth-to-mouth ventilation, if necessary. Stay with victim until arrival of emergency medical personnel. Refrigeration Oil WARNING: Avoid refrigeration oil contact with the eyes. Avoid prolonged or repeated contact of refrigeration oil with skin or clothing. Wash thoroughly after handling refrigeration oil to prevent irritation. First Aid In case of eye contact, immediately flush with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes. CALL A PHYSICIAN. Wash skin with soap and water. Antifreeze and Engine Coolant WARNING: Antifreeze (Ethylene Glycol) is toxic when swallowed. Do not breath mist or vapors. Wash hands thoroughly after handling to prevent irritation. First Aid INGESTION: CALL A PHYSICIAN and get prompt medical attention. INHALATION: Move victim to fresh air and restore and/or support breathing as required. If breathing is difficult, and get prompt medical attention. EYES: In case of eye contact, flush with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes. SKIN: Brief contact with skin is not irritating. Wash skin with soap and water, if irritation persists, seek medical attention. 5
Heater Installation Temperature Sensor Relocation Procedures CAUTION: Before retro-fitting a vehicle powered truck refrigeration unit with a heater system, always disconnect the vehicle s negative (-) battery cable and standby AC electrical power source (if applicable) to prevent the unit from starting and causing personal injury.
