2.5 Safety Precautions to follow when using the Refrigerants
Certain mixtures of air and R134a have proved to be flammable at high
pressures.
These mixtures are potentially hazardous and can cause fires and
explosions, causing personal injuries and damage to objects.
Further safety and medical information can be obtained from lubricant
and refrigerant manufacturers.
Safety Measures:
• Do not use external tanks or other storage systems that have not been approved
and/or that are not equipped with safety valves.
•
Do not test the devices or the vehicle A/C system containing R134a with
compressed air.
The refrigerant R1234yf has been classified as inflammable.
Safety Measures:
•
Consult the safety sheet of this refrigerant in order to store it correctly.
2.6 Workplace Safety
The device is designed to work at a maximum altitude of 1000 m above
sea level, with an operating temperature between 5 °C and 40 °C and
a maximum humidity of 50% at 50 °C.
Safety Measures:
•
Never, under any circumstance, use the device in an environment where there is
risk of an explosion.
• Keep the device in environments with temperatures that do not exceed 50 °C.
• Only use the device in open or well-ventilated environments (at least 4 air
changes per hour).
• Make sure the workplace is well-lit (average operating illuminance, for mechanic
workshops and assembly on work benches for precision work, is 500-750-1000
lux).
