ATTENTION INSTALLING PERSONNEL

As a professional installer you have an
obligation to know the product better than the
customer. This includes all safety
precautions and related items.

Prior to actual installation, thoroughly
familiarize yourself with this Instruction
Manual. Pay special attention to all safety
warnings. Often during installation or repair
it is possible to place yourself in a position
which is more hazardous than when the unit
is in operation.

2. Using the screws and shoulder washers provided, se­cure the grille to the condenser flange. NOTE: Be sure
to install the gasket between the grille and the flange
as shown in Figure 2.

Remember, it is your responsibility to install
the product safely and to know it well enough
to be able to instruct a customer in its safe
use.

Safety is a matter of common sense...a matter
of thinking before acting. Most dealers have
a list of specific good safety practices...follow
them.

The precautions listed in this Installation
Manual are intended as supplemental to
existing practices. However, if there is a
direct conflict between existing practices and
the content of this manual, the precautions
listed here take precedence.
