WARNING: Inhalation of high concentrations of refrigerant vapors is harmful and may
cause heart irregularities, unconsciousness, or death. Deliberate inhalation
of refrigerants is extremely dangerous and death can occur without warning.
Vapors reduce oxygen available for breathing and are heavier than air.
Decomposition products are hazardous. Liquid contact may cause frostbite.
All refrigerant containers, equipment, and hoses are under pressure.
CAUTION:
Before operating this unit, please read this manual in its entirety. It is
important that you have a thorough understanding of the procedures
outlined in this manual. Failure to follow these procedures could void all
manufacturer warranties.
