Safety Precautions (continued)
Refrigerant
First Aid
• FROST BITE: In the event of frost bite, the objectives of First Aid are
to protect the frozen area from further injury, to warm the affected area
rapidly and to maintain respiration.
• EYES: For contact with liquid, immediately flush eyes with large
amounts of water and get prompt medical attention.
• SKIN: Flush area with large amounts of lukewarm water. Do not apply
heat. Remove contaminated clothing and shoes. Wrap burns with dry,
sterile, bulky dressing to protect from infection/injury. Get medical
attention. Wash contaminated clothing before reuse.
• INHALATION: Move victim to fresh air and use CPR or
mouth-to-mouth ventilation, if necessary. Stay with victim until arrival
of emergency medical personnel.
Refrigeration Oil
First Aid
In case of eye contact, immediately flush with plenty of water for at least
15 minutes. CALL A PHYSICIAN. Wash skin with soap and water.
WARNING: When using ladders to install or service refrigeration
systems, always observe the ladder manufacturer’s safety labels and
warnings. A work platform is the recommended method for
installations.
WARNING: Exposed coil fins are very sharp and can cause painful
lacerations.
WARNING: Control circuits used in the refrigeration unit are low
voltage. This voltage potential is not considered dangerous, but the
large amount of current available can cause severe burns if shorted
to ground.
WARNING: Do not wear jewelry, watches, or rings. These items
can short out electrical circuits and cause severe burns to the wearer.
CAUTION: Use tools with insulated handles that are in good
condition.
WARNING:
Although fluorocarbon refrigerants are classified as safe
refrigerants, certain precautions must be observed when handling them
or servicing a unit in which they are used. When released to the
atmosphere in the liquid state, fluorocarbon refrigerants evaporate
rapidly, freezing anything they contact
CAUTION:
Avoid refrigeration oil contact with the eyes. Avoid
prolonged or repeated contact of refrigeration oil with skin or clothing.
Wash thoroughly after handling refrigeration oil to prevent irritation.
