up with the correct quantity of oil. Before connecting the MACHINE,
check that voltage and frequency of main electrical supply match the
value shown into the data plate.
Never fill the bottle to more than 80% of maximum capacity in
order to leave an expansion chamber for absorbing any
pressure increases.
Never touch the valves on the refrigerant bottle installed on-board
the MACHINE. Dispose of the oil extracted from the A/C system and
from the vacuum pump in suitable containers for used oils. Replace
the filters punctually at the prescribed replacement times. Use only
filters recommended by the manufacturer. Use only the oils
recommended by the manufacturer. Take care never to use the
vacuum pump oil in the A/C system, or vice-versa. Failure to observe
any of the above safety precautions will invalidate all forms of
guarantee on the MACHINE.
PRECAUTINS FR HANDLING AND USE F REFRIGERANT
FLUIDS
Refrigerant fluids expand to the gaseous state in standard
environmental conditions. In order that they may be shipped and
used they must be compressed into suitable bottles. We therefore
recommend observing all the general precautions applicable to
handling of pressurized containers. In the case of R134a in particular,
we suggest the following special precautions: Avoid inhaling highly
concentrated vapors even for short periods of time, since such
vapors can cause loss of consciousness or death. R134a is not
flammable, but if the vapor is exposed to open flames or
incandescent surfaces it may undergo thermal decomposition and
form acid substances. The acrid and pungent odor of these products
of decomposition is sufficient to signal their presence. We therefore
recommend avoiding use of R134a near open flames and
incandescent elements. There exists no evidence of risks deriving
from transdermal absorption of R134a. Nevertheless, due to the low
boiling point of the liquid, it is advisable to wear protective garments
such as to ensure that no jets of liquid or gas can come into contact
with the skin. The use of goggles to avoid contact with the eyes is
especially recommended, since the refrigerant liquid or gas can
cause freezing of the ocular fluids. Moreover, we strongly advise
