Hazards exist that could result in personal injury 

or death. Installation, maintenance, and service 

must only be performed by an HVAC technician 

qualified in R-410A refrigerant and using proper 

tools and equipment. Due to much higher pressure 

of R-410A refrigerant, DO NOT USE service 

equipment or tools designed for refrigerants other 

than R-410A.

WARNING

 Improper installation, adjustment, alteration, 

service or maintenance can cause property 

damage, injury or death, and could cause 

exposure to substances which have been 

determined by various state agencies to cause 

cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm. 

Read the installation, operating and maintenance 

instructions thoroughly before installing or 

servicing this equipment.
