CAUTION
All maintenance and/or repairs must be performed by a journeyman refrigeration mechanic or air-conditioning technician.
CAUTION
When moving the unit, it should be kept in its normal installed position. If the unit is not kept level and vertical, damage to the
compressors will result.

supporting the unit.
CAUTION
When working on electrical equipment, remove all jewelry, watches, rings, etc. Keep one hand away from the equipment to

power is disconnected from the unit.
CAUTION
Equipment may contain components subject to electrostatic discharge (ESD). Before attempting to mount or service these
electronic devices, make sure you have no charge built up by touching a ground source. When possible, use a wrist-grounding
strap when working on or near electronic devices.
