Safety regulations
2.4.1
ACX2180H
Always carefully study and follow all the safety regulations before using the
MAHLE product.
Avoid all skin contact with the refrigerant. The low
boiling point of the refrigerant (approx. -30° C) can
lead to frostbite. Should refrigerant come into contact
with the skin, remove any moistened clothing
immediately and rinse the area of skin affected with
generous amounts of water.
Avoid all skin contact with the UV dye. Should UV dye
come into contact with the skin, remove any moistened
clothing immediately and rinse the area affected with
generous amounts of water.
R134a is colorless, with weak characteristic smell and
heavier than air. It may flow into repair pits. Should
refrigerant escape, Provide for sufficient ventilation
(particularly in repair pits) and leave the workshop.
Never inhale refrigerant, dye and oil vapors. The
vapors can irritate the eyes, nose and respiratory
system. If liquid refrigerant or UV dye comes into
contact with the eyes, rinse them thoroughly with
water for 15 minutes. Then obtain medical attention
even if no pain is felt
Never swallow UV dye. Should it be swallowed inadvertently,
never attempt to induce vomiting. Drink generous amounts of
water and obtain medical attention.
Before connecting the ACX2180H to a vehicle air conditioning
system or an external refrigerant bottle, make sure the quick-
release couplings are not leaking. Only ever use external
refrigerant bottles provided with safety valves and certified
in line with applicable standards.
Before switching off the ACX2180H, make sure all charging
and drainage operations have been completed. This
prevents damage to the unit and reduces the risk of
refrigerant escaping into the environment.
Never use compressed air with R134a. Certain
mixtures of air and R134a are highly flammable.
Such mixtures are a potential hazard and may lead
to fire or explosions and thus cause damage or
injury.
Refrigerant extracted from a vehicle air conditioning system
may be contaminated with moisture, lubricant, dirt and traces of
other gases.
If the refrigerant has been contaminated by being
mixed with other gases, remove the contaminated
refrigerant and add fresh R134a before using the
ACX2180H for A/C service.
R134a is not to be used in areas in which there is a
danger of explosion. Fire, open flames and smoking
are prohibited.
The ACX2180H unit should not be exposed to
excess moisture or be operated in wet areas
R134a is not to be mixed with other refrigerants. The
mixing of refrigerants could damage the vehicle air
conditioning system.
De-energizing is only to be performed by a qualified
electrician, a qualified electrician for specific tasks (hybrid) or
a power systems engineer.
Work on vehicles with high-voltage components is only ever
to be performed in a safe de-energized condition by persons
with the minimum qualification “Trained to perform electrical
work”.
Even after deactivating a high-voltage vehicle electrical
system, the high-voltage battery may still be live.
Operating condition cannot be established from any running
noise, as the electric machine is silent when stationary.
In gear positions "P" and "N" the engine or electric motor
may start spontaneously depending on the charge of the
high-voltage battery.
Never open or damage high-voltage batteries.
On vehicles that have been in an accident, never touch high-
voltage components or exposed high-voltage wires before
deactivating the high-voltage vehicle electrical system.
The ACX2180H must be constantly monitored when in
operation. Never leave the ACX2180H unattended when in
operation. Vehicle A/C service using the ACX2180H must be
prepared and implemented such that the vehicle air
conditioning system circuit does not have to be opened (for
example by removing the radiator or engine).
Position the ACX2180H on all four wheels on a flat,
vibration- proof surface so that proper operation of the
scales is guaranteed
Vehicle A/C service using the ACX2180H must be prepared
and implemented such that the vehicle air conditioning
system circuit does not have to be opened (for example by
removing the radiator or engine).
The ACX2180H can be secured in position by locking
the caster brake.
If high-voltage components or high-voltage wires are
handled incorrectly, there is a risk of fatal injury from
high voltage and the possible transmission of current
through the body.
