Maintenance precautions

Working Area

As  the  components  of  air  conditioners  are 
particularly  sensitive  to  moisture,  dirt  and  rust, 
always observe the following:

Work indoors whenever possible.

Select a flat ground work area.

Keep the work area clean.

Select a work area with adequate ventilation.

Keep  open  flame  and  inflammables  away  from 
the  vehicle  in  which  the  air  conditioner  is  being 
installed.  (Fire  is  particularly  dangerous  during 
the gas leak inspection following installation).

CAUTION!

Refrigerant itself is not harmful but excessive 
accumulation  in  a  closed  area  can  cause 
oxygen deficiency.

WARNING!

Contact with flame and high temperatures can 
generate toxic gases.
