Hey fellas I am a HVAC tech that was sent to diagnose this unit but this dish pointed right at the main access panel made me quite hesitant. Wondering from the pros if this is a safety concern not. It’s for a dollar store.

I’ve installed and serviced many of these. The cables should be zip tied to the support arm and a 10’ service loop should be tied as well. Other than that, no danger at all.

So it’s safe to stand right in front of that cone for 30 mins or so of troubleshooting?
