Disconnect electrical supply before wiring unit to prevent injury or death from electricalshock! Do not handle the top half of the scroll compressor as it operates at a temperaturehighenoughtocauseseriousinjury.Operationofthechillerwithout properfreezeprotectionshallvoidthewarranty. Do not operate this system for long periods of time with water alone. A minimum of 10% propyleneorethyleneglycolisessentialtopreventfreezing. Higherconcentrationsofglycol arerequiredtopreventheatexchangerfromrupturingincoldclimates. Recommended operating temperatures are 115F for hot water and 40F for chilled water.
