Safety
Teco chillers are designed and built with safety as a prime consideration; industry-accepted
safety factors have been used in the design. Each chiller is inspected at the factory for
safety and operation. Any necessary adjustments are made before shipment. Follow
the maintenance schedules outlined in this manual for optimum performance and safe
operation. Any repairs should be done only by qualified personnel with proper training and
tools. Carefully read all safety requirements before installation, operation or maintenance.
The requirements are essential to ensure safe operation. Failure to follow these guidelines
voids the warranty and may result in chiller damage or personal injury.
•
Do not install or try to repair a chiller that has been damaged in shipment.
See Receiving And Inspection for instructions.
Turn off and unplug the chiller before preforming any work. Electricity has the potential to
•
cause personal injury or equipment damage.
Do not operate the chiller at temperatures above the maximum ambient temperature (95˚F/35˚C)
•
Always supply electrical power that complies with the voltage shown on the data label.
•
Work on the refrigeration system must be done only by a licensed refrigeration technician.
•
Do not plug into wall socket without the housing in place.
•
Configure the electrical cord to include a “drip loop” - a loop section of chord that hangs
•
below the electrical outlet - this prevents water from reaching the outlet in the event of a leak.
It is recommended that this product be used with a GFCI
•
(Ground Fault Circut Interrupter) outlet.
Do not look directly at an illuminated UV light. (if installed)
•
Do not operate chiller without water flowing through it.
•
Never allow heater to be on without water flowing though the chiller.
•
Do not run pressurized water through chiller. Chillers are designed to accept water flow from
•
recirculating pumps. Pressure pumps or high-pressure water lines will damage the chiller. If in
doubt about your pump, contact the pump manufacturer.
