 SAFETY SUMMARY

GENERAL SAFETY NOTICES

The following general safety notices supplement the specific warnings and cautions appearing elsewhere in this
manual. They are recommended precautions that must be understood and applied during operation and maintenance
of the equipment covered herein. A listing of the specific warnings and cautions appearing elsewhere in the manual
follows the general safety notices.
FIRST AID
An injury, no matter how slight, should never go unattended. Always obtain first aid or medical attention immediately.
OPERATING PRECAUTIONS
Always wear safety glasses.
Keep hands, clothing and tools clear of the evaporator and condenser fans.
No work should be performed on the unit until all start-stop switches are placed in the OFF position, and power supply
is disconnected.
Always work in pairs. Never work on the equipment alone.
In case of severe vibration or unusual noise, stop the unit and investigate.
MAINTENANCE PRECAUTIONS
Beware of unannounced starting of the evaporator and condenser fans. Do not open the unit cover before turning
power off.
Be sure power is turned off before working on motors, controllers, solenoid valves and electrical controls. Tag circuit
breaker and power supply to prevent accidental energizing of circuit.
Do not bypass any electrical safety devices, e.g. bridging an overload, or using any sort of jumper wires. Problems with
the system should be diagnosed, and any necessary repairs performed by qualified service personnel.
When performing any arc welding on the unit, disconnect all wire harness connectors from the modules in the control
box. Do not remove wire harness from the modules unless you are grounded to the unit frame with a static-safe wrist
strap.
In case of electrical fire, open circuit switch and extinguish with CO2 (never use water).

SPECIFIC WARNINGS AND CAUTIONS

WARNING
Be sure to observe warnings listed in the safety summary in the front of this manual before per-
forming maintenance on the hvac system

WARNING
Read the entire procedure before beginning work. Park the vehicle on a level surface, with park-
ing brake applied. Turn main electrical disconnect switch to the off position.

WARNING
Do Not Use A Nitrogen Cylinder Without A Pressure Regulator

WARNING
Do Not Use Oxygen In Or Near A Refrigeration System As An Explosion May Occur.

WARNING
The Filter-drier May Contain Liquid Refrigerant. Slowly Loosen The Connecting Nuts And Avoid
Contact With Exposed Skin Or Eyes.

CAUTION
The AC310 & AC350 Rooftop Systems have R134a service port couplings installed on the compres-
sor and 1/4 inch flare (Acme) fittings installed on the unit piping.

CAUTION
To prevent trapping liquid refrigerant in the manifold gauge set be sure set is brought to suction
pressure before disconnecting.

WARNING
Read the entire procedure before beginning work. Park the coach on a level surface, with parking

NOTE
To avoid damage to the earth’s ozone layer, use a refrigerant recovery system whenever removing refriger-

3. Read the system pressures.
c. Removing the Manifold Gauge Set.
1. While the compressor is still ON, mid--seat both
hand valves on the manifold gauge set and allow the
pressure in the manifold gauge set to be drawn down
to low side pressure. This returns any liquid that may
be in the high side hose to the system.

the diffuser.
The return air filters are located behind the return air
grill, inside the vehicle. Diffuser
The filters should be checked for cleanliness
periodically depending on operating conditions. A dirty
filter will restrict air flow over the evaporator coil which
may cause insufficient cooling or heating and possible
frost buildup on the coil. To remove the filters, do the
