PRECAUTIONS — Precautions for the Handling of Refrigerant
HA-2prose procedurePrecautions for the Handling of Refrigerant
IMPORTANT
Do not release refrigerant into the air. Use your refrigerant recycling equipment to capture the refrigerant every time you need to discharge an air conditioning system.
The release of refrigerant into the air can cause damage to the Earth's ozone layer.
WARNING
Always wear eye protection when working around the system.
Always be careful that refrigerant does not come in contact with your skin.
Keep refrigerant containers stored below 40°C (104°F) and never drop from high places.
Work in well-ventilated area because refrigerant gas evaporates quickly and breathing may become difficult due to the lack of oxygen.
Keep refrigerant away from open flames because poisonous gas will be produced if it burns.
Do not increase can temperature beyond 40°C (104°F) in charging.
Do not heat refrigerant container with an open flame. There is a danger that container will explode.
CAUTION
Do not use steam to clean surface of condenser or evaporator. Be sure to use cold water or compressed air.
Do not use compressed air to clean out a contaminated A/C tube or hose. Shake the line over a clean, white paper towel. If it contains obvious moisture or contaminants, replace it. Do not blow out the line with refrigerant.
Do not use manifold gauge set whose press point shape is different from that shown. Otherwise, insufficient evacuating may occur.
Do not over-tighten service valve cap.
Follow the manufacturer's instructions for discharging into your refrigerant recycling equipment.
