A good user manual

The rules should oblige the seller to give the purchaser an operating instrucion of Carrier 17EX, along with an item. The lack of an instruction or false information given to customer shall constitute grounds to apply for a complaint because of nonconformity of goods with the contract. In accordance with the law, a customer can receive an instruction in non-paper form; lately graphic and electronic forms of the manuals, as well as instructional videos have been majorly used. A necessary precondition for this is the unmistakable, legible character of an instruction.

What is an instruction?

The term originates from the Latin word „instructio”, which means organizing. Therefore, in an instruction of Carrier 17EX one could find a process description. An instruction's purpose is to teach, to ease the start-up and an item's use or performance of certain activities. An instruction is a compilation of information about an item/a service, it is a clue.

Unfortunately, only a few customers devote their time to read an instruction of Carrier 17EX. A good user manual introduces us to a number of additional functionalities of the purchased item, and also helps us to avoid the formation of most of the defects.

What should a perfect user manual contain?

First and foremost, an user manual of Carrier 17EX should contain:
- informations concerning technical data of Carrier 17EX
- name of the manufacturer and a year of construction of the Carrier 17EX item
- rules of operation, control and maintenance of the Carrier 17EX item
- safety signs and mark certificates which confirm compatibility with appropriate standards

Why don't we read the manuals?

Usually it results from the lack of time and certainty about functionalities of purchased items. Unfortunately, networking and start-up of Carrier 17EX alone are not enough. An instruction contains a number of clues concerning respective functionalities, safety rules, maintenance methods (what means should be used), eventual defects of Carrier 17EX, and methods of problem resolution. Eventually, when one still can't find the answer to his problems, he will be directed to the Carrier service. Lately animated manuals and instructional videos are quite popular among customers. These kinds of user manuals are effective; they assure that a customer will familiarize himself with the whole material, and won't skip complicated, technical information of Carrier 17EX.

Why one should read the manuals?

It is mostly in the manuals where we will find the details concerning construction and possibility of the Carrier 17EX item, and its use of respective accessory, as well as information concerning all the functions and facilities.

After a successful purchase of an item one should find a moment and get to know with every part of an instruction. Currently the manuals are carefully prearranged and translated, so they could be fully understood by its users. The manuals will serve as an informational aid.

    The chiller compressor continuously draws large quanti- ties of refrigerant vapor from the cooler at a rate determined by the amount of guide vane opening. This compressor suc- tion reduces the pressure within the cooler , allowing the liq- uid refrigerant to boil vigorously at a fairly low temperature (typically 38 to 42 F [3 to 6 C]). The liquid [...]

    Chiller Alignment ALIGNMENT METHODS — There are several established procedures for aligning shafts. The dial indicator method is presented here since it is considered to be one of the most accurate and reliable. Another faster and easier method for alignment involves using laser alignment tools and comput- ers. Follow the laser tool manufacturer [...]

    If the larger opening remains the same but changes from side to side, the shafts are in perfect alignment. The change in opening is due entirely to coupling runout, as above, or to a burr or other damage to the coupling face. If the larger opening remains the same, and remains on the same side, the amount is entirely shaft (net) misalignment. If th[...]

    WEEKL Y MAINTENANCE Check the Lubrication System — Mark the oil level on the compressor reservoir sight glass, and observe the level each week while the chiller is shut down. If the level goes below the lower sight glass, the oil re- claim system will need to be checked for proper operation. If additional oil is required, add oil as follows: Oil [...]

    The lubricant should be drained while the gear is at op- erating temperature. The gear drive should be cleaned with a flushing oil. Used lubricant and flushing oil should be com- pletely removed from the system to avoid contaminating new oil. T o change the oil in the external gear: 1. Make sure that the compressor is of f and the disconnect for [...]

    CLEANLINESS — On open ventilated motors, screens and louvers over the inlet air openings should not be allowed to accumulate any build-up of dirt, lint, etc., that could restrict free air movement. Screens and louvers should never be cleaned or disturbed while the motor is in operation because any dis- lodged dirt or debris can be drawn directly [...]
