19. Working with a naked flame i.e. soldering or brazing is forbidden. Unless otherwise stated,
pipework connections must only be made using the Lokring coupling system.
20. Electronic leak detectors with high voltage tips must NOT be used with any Isobutane (R600a).
21. All equipment used for this activity must be checked regularly and maintained in a safe working
condition; parts must be replaced as required.
Information Regarding Isobutane Canisters
1.
The maximum quantity of Isobutane an engineer should hold or store at any one time is two 1kg
net aluminium canisters, supplied individually as Part Number 2602600.
2.
Canisters must be stored inside the aluminium case with the weighing scales for protection from
possible damage and heat. The aluminium case must NEVER be placed next to a heat source or
in direct sunlight.
3.
Isobutane must only be dispensed to the appliance from the 1kg net aluminium canister placed
in an upright position on the weighing scales provided.
4.
All used canisters must be a returned as scrap and therefore, left out for the driver to collect and
return for disposal.
5.
Canisters must not be punctured or the internal valve damaged.
6.
Before storing the canister it must have the extraction tap valve removed and the internal valve
of the canister checked for leakage using leak detector (Leak Detector: Part Number 5700043).
7.
All used canisters and those found to be leaking should be exhausted to atmosphere to ensure
they are emptied completely. Refer to the following paragraph.
8.
Refit the extraction tap if necessary, open the tap and then invert the canister.
This must be done outside in open air away from buildings and ignition sources and complying
with Item 18 on previous page.
THERMOSTAT REPLACEMENT
All replacement thermostats must have the capillary phial taped/insulated where it is routed past any
electrical terminations, in the same way as the original one fitted to the appliance.
Replacement thermostats will not have the insulating tape already fitted and this MUST be done
before the work is completed.
