WARNING

Ensure power source is disconnected.

WARNING

Compressor weighs as much as 92 lbs. (41.72 kg) and could cause injury to

personnel and damage to equipment if not handled properly while removing from

unit. Two personnel are required to lift the compressor.

CAUTION

When an overhead lifting device is used to remove the condenser fan supports (WP

0064 00), use an appropriate sling so that the weight of the unit is supported by the

base of the shipping container.

WARNING

Do not allow the unit to swing while suspended from a lifting device. Failure to

observe this warning may result in injury to personnel and damage to the equipment.

WARNING

Purge system with dry nitrogen prior to soldering or desoldering; refrigerant

heated by flame or hot surfaces creates phosgene gas, a highly toxic gas.

Do not let refrigerant touch you or inhale refrigerant gas. Be especially

careful to prevent refrigerant from coming in contact with your eyes. Use an

air filtering mask. In case of refrigerant leaks, ventilate area at once.

Follow general debrazing instructions given in WP 0051 00. Provide a flow

of dry nitrogen through the refrigeration system while debrazing

connections.

WARNING

Never operate compressor without the compressor terminal cover secured in place.
