¾
Always turn the unit "OFF" and disconnect the power cord from the power source before
performing any service, maintenance procedures or before moving the unit.
¾
Do not operate equipment with damaged power cords.
¾
A qualified technician should perform Service and repairs.
¾
If the set point is 10° C (50° F) or below, a freezing point depressant, such as ethylene glycol, is
required. This unit is equipped with a low flow switch. This feature will shut the chiller down
during a low flow situation to prevent freezing.
¾
DO NOT USE AUTOMOTIVE ANTI-FREEZE IN THE CHILLER. The rust inhibitors in the
automotive type may cause premature failure of the pump seals. Use of automotive anti-freeze
in a Lytron chiller will void the warranty.
¾
Never place the unit in a location where excessive heat, moisture, or corrosive materials are
present.
¾
The unit must be plugged into a properly grounded power source.
¾
Do not connect the SUPPLY or RETURN fitting to your building water supply or any pressurized
source.
¾
DO NOT USE OR MAINTAIN THE CHILLER OUTDOORS. These units were not designed to
withstand outdoor weather conditions.
¾
Performance of installation, operation, or maintenance procedures other than those described
in this manual may result in a hazardous situation and may void the Lytron warranty.
¾
Transport the unit with care. Sudden jolts or drops can damage the unit.
¾
Drain the chiller of all water when transporting, shipping or leaving unused for long periods of
time. This will prevent freezing and algae build up while idle.
¾
Observe all warning labels. Never remove warning labels.
¾
Do not operate damaged or leaking equipment.
¾
Do not operate the unit without fluid in the reservoir.
