3.1.2
Personal safety information
The MAHLE ACX 150/250 A/C service
station is particularly simple and reliable
due to its adjustments and functions.
When used correctly it presents no
hazard for the operator, provided he
observes the following general safety
instructions and that the service station is
regularly serviced (incorrect
maintenance/use compromise the
equipment's safety). Before operating the
service station for the first time, read
these instructions carefully. If any part of
the instructions is unclear, contact your
reseller or MAHLE.
This service station may be used by only
one equipment operator, familiar with A/C
and refrigeration systems and the hazards
associated with refrigerants and high
pressure equipment.
WORKPLACE: The station can work with
both R134a and R1234yf (the two
refrigerants cannot be stored within the
station at the same time).
Refrigerant R1234yf is defined as
flammable refrigerant.
Nonetheless, although refrigerant R134a
is not defined as flammable, mixtures of
air or oxygen with R134a may become
flammable under very particular
conditions.
The equipment must be operated
outdoor or in a well-ventilated location
(at least 1 air change per hour). The
workshop has to be equipped with
ventilation systems able to ensure air
change in every environment area or
carry out periodical ventilation by
opening the areas.
Use the equipment away from heat
sources or hot surfaces. The equipment
must not be used in explosion risk
environments (potentially explosive
atmospheres). Before using it, put the
equipment on a levelled plane and secure
position, blocking it with suitable wheel
stops.
Do not expose the tool to direct sunrays,
heat sources, rain and jets of water. Do
not smoke near the equipment and during
operations (keep at a distance of at least
1 m).
