1.SAFETY PROCEDURES.
This safety alert symbol indicates important safety messages in this manual. when
you see this symbol, carefully read the message that follows and be alert to the
possibility of personal injury or death
Warning
Refrigerant R134a is the most stable and easiest to
work with refrigerants now in use in air conditioner
systems. Refrigerant R134a does not contain any
chlorofluorocarbons (CFC’s) which are harmful to
the earth’s ozone layer.
Safety procedures must be followed when working
with Refrigerant R134a to prevent possible personal
injury.
1.Always wear safety goggles when doing any
service work near an air conditioner system.
Liquid refrigerant getting into the eyes can cause
serious injury. Do the following if you get
refrigerant near or in your eyes.
A.Flush your eyes with water for 15 minutes.
B. See a physician immediately.
2. A drop of liquid refrigerant on your skin will
cause frostbite. Open the fittings carefully and
slowly when it is necessary to service the air
conditioner system.
Your skin must be treated for frostbite or a
physician must be seen if you get refrigerant on
your skin.
3.Keep refrigerant containers in the correct
upright position. Always keep refrigerant
containers away from heat or sunlight.
The pressure in a container will increase
with heat.
4.Always reclaim refrigerant from the
system, if you are going to weld or steam
clean near the air conditioner system.
5.Always check the temperature and pressure
of the air conditioner system before
reclaiming the refrigerant and when you
test the system.
6.Never leak test the system using a flame
tester. Dangerous gas can form when
refrigerant comes in contact with an open
flame. Never permit fumes to be inhaled.
7. Never leak or pressure test the system
with compressed air or oxygen.
Refrigerant R134a in the presence of air
or oxygen above atmospheric pressure can
form a combustible gas.
Never operate the engine in a closed building. Proper ventilation is required under all
circumstances.
Caution
Never touch liquid refrigerant, since even a small drop on your skin will cause severe
and painful frostbite. Always wear protective gloves.
Caution
Always wear safety goggles when working with liquid refrigerant.
Liquid refrigerant in your eyes could cause blindness.
Caution
DO NOT use steam to clean any air conditioner system parts while the system is
charged. The heat may cause the refrigerant to rise in pressure that can cause the
system to explode
