Only technicians contracted to SKOPE hydrocarbon service policy
may service this cabinet.
SKOPE hydrocarbon refrigeration systems must only be serviced by
appropriately skilled refrigeration mechanics.
Servicing of sealed refrigeration system must be completed at a
hydrocarbon workshop/service area with dedicated hydrocarbon
equipment and suitable personal protective equipment.
All local hydrocarbon storage and handling regulations and
procedures must be adhered to at all times.
Ensure all electronic controller alarms diagnostics and refrigeration system
diagnostics are performed to confirm a refrigeration system fault is present.
Do

The main hydrocarbon safety hazards are:
Flammable refrigerant.
Venting of hydrocarbon and compressor oil.
Asphyxiation.
Refrigerant identification

cabinets to indicate the use of R290 refrigerant.
Personal Protective Equipment
Ensure all required P.P.E. is used correctly during servicing.
Service equipment
All refrigeration service tools must be hydrocarbon compliant and any
electrical equipment that could be exposed to the refrigerant must be
intrinsically safe. ONLY dedicated hydrocarbon service equipment may be
used.
In addition to standard tools for accessing and removing parts, specialist
tools are required when completing refrigeration system service tasks
detailed in this manual:
Intrinsically safe vacuum pump.
