I. Unpacking and Inspection
A. Upon receipt of the system, visually inspect the shipping carton for signs of
damage or mishandling. Immediately contact the carrier for an inspection if the
shipping carton is damaged or evidence of mishandling exists.
B. Carefully remove the outer crating materials. Care must be taken during
unpacking to avoid enclosure damage or scratching.
C. Inspect the system for dents, scratches, or other evidence of mishandling during
shipment. Request an immediate inspection from the carrier if damage is evident.
D. Inventory the contents of the shipping carton against the packing list provided
with the shipping documents.
E. Observe the pressure indications of the Refrigeration Section: System #1- High
and Low side and System #2 –High and Low side pressure gauges located at
the lower-rear panel of the machine: refer to figure #1 below. Pressure
indications below 130 psi for system #1 and below 65 psi for system #2 may
indicate a break in the plumbing: Contact the factory for further assistance.
F. Open the Filter Access Door located at the top-right corner of the Control Panel
Black Hood. Using an inspection light source visually verify the integrity of the
internal tubing contained under the Hood. Close the Filter Access Door.

II. System Warnings
The following lists warnings concerning the installation, operation, and maintenance of the
system as well as general safety issues. The warnings listed here are both specific and
generalized and may or may not be repeated throughout the manual
A. General Safety Issues
KEEP AWAY FROM LIVE ELECTRICAL CIRCUITS. Operating personnel should
observe all safety precautions at all times. Do not replace components or make
adjustments inside the equipment with the high voltage energized to the system unless
directed to do so in the maintenance sections of this manual. Dangerous potentials exist
internal to the system and under certain conditions may exist even with the system power
switch in the off position.
DO NOT SERVICE OR ADJUST THE SYSTEM ALONE. All maintenance or
system adjustments should be accomplished in the presence of someone capable of
rendering aid in the unlikely event of injury.
ONLY PERMIT FULLY TRAINED PERSONEL TO OPERATE THE SYSTEM.
COMPLETELY READ AND UNDERSTAND THIS MANUAL BEFORE
ATTEMPTING INSTALLATION, OPERATION, OR MAINTENANCE TO THE
EQUIPMENT.
ALWAYS WEAR SAFETY GLASSES when operating the equipment or working with
the Agent containers.
B. Installation Warnings
DO NOT INSTALL THE SYSTEM IN AN OUTDOOR ENVIRONMENT. The
system is designed for indoor locations with ambient temperature from 70 to 80 degrees F
(21.1to 26.7C).
DO NOT LOCATE THE SYSTEM NEAR DRIPPING, SPRAYING, OR
STANDING MOISTURE OR WATER. The system enclosure IS NOT NEMA rated.
Contact with moisture and water may result in electrical short circuits which may cause
health and system hazards.
ALWAYS LOCATE THE SYSTEM ON AN EVEN AND LEVEL SURFACE, use
wheel chocks to insure the machine will not roll if accidentally pushed, or roll from
operational vibration.
ALWAYS MAINTAIN A SERVICE AREA OF 3-FEET AROUND ALL SIDES OF
THE MACHINE to provide adequate ventilation of the refrigeration section.
ALWAYS ATTEMPT TO LOCATE THE SYSTEM IN AN AREA THAT IS
COOL, DRY, AND AWAY FROM DIRECT SUNLIGHT.
DO NOT LOCATE THE EQUIPMENT IN OR NEAR THE VICINITY OF FLAMMABLE
MATERIALS OR VAPORS.
DO NOT CONNECT THE EQUIPMENT TO ANY POWER SOURCE OTHER THAN
SPECIFIED BY THE INSTALLATION PROCEDURES OF THIS MANUAL. FOLLOW
LOCAL AND NATIONAL SAFETY CODES WHEN INSTALLING THE EQUIPMENT.
ALWAYS ATTEMPT TO MAINTAIN A MINIMUM 3/16” INSIDE DIAMETER
PLUMBING CONNECTIONS TO THE PORTS OF THE MACHINE WITH A MINIMUM
OF BENDS, LOOPS, LOW SPOTS, OR SAGS.
