6.1 

Preparations for A/C service

 

!

The ACS 151 should not be used for servicing a vehi-
cle A/C system that has been repaired with a chemi-
cal sealant. The sealant could damage the ACS 151 
and the vehicle A/C system. Non-compliance invali-
dates the warranty.

 

!

Do not attempt to shut off the valves on the R134a 
tank when the ACS 151 is in operation.

Before servicing the vehicle A/C system, execute the 
following preparatory procedure:

1. 

Move the ACS 151 to a flat vibration-free surface 
close to the vehicle.

2. 

Apply the brakes to prevent the ACS 151 from rolling 
away.

Caution!

Hot engine parts can cause severe burns to 
the hands.

 

Allow the engine to cool down before 
work.

3. 

Connect the power cable to the mains supply.

4. 

Turn on the master switch.
