Press the red emergency off [EMO] switch on the front of the system only if the
need to shut off the power arises due to emergency such as natural disaster, fire,
earthquake or personal injury.
The emergency off [EMO] switch is a large, red mushroom-shaped push button
labeledwith ‘EMO’ on it. The system comes to a halt if this button is pressed.
When press the emergency off [EMO] switch, the control power for this system is
shut off to bring the system to a stop. The main breaker of this system, however, is
designed not to trip, which enables the motor circuit to remain partially energized.

Proper procedure must be followed when using this system.
Exercise caution to assure personnel safety during the installation, operation,
maintenance, and inspection of the system.
Only personnel, who have adequate knowledge and experiences with not only
this system but associated equipment are allowed to perform transport,
installation, and maintenance involving potential hazardous task.
For transporting with the forklift, be sure to insert the fork into a
designated position, referring to “3.1.1 Transporting with forklift” on
page 3-2.
Do not set this system on its side during transportation. Oil in the
compressor drains into the refrigerant pipe, which causes lubricant
shortages leading to damage to the compressor.
Drain the remaining fluid out of the pipe as much as possible.
The remaining fluid may spill if disregarded.
Exercise caution not to damage the panel and piping with the forklift
when transporting the system.
