WORKPLACE:  The  station  can  work  with  both  R134a  and 
R1234yf  (the  two  refrigerants  cannot  be  stored  within  the 
station at the same time). 
Refrigerant R1234yf is defined as flammable refrigerant. 
Nonetheless,  although  refrigerant  R134a  is  not  defined  as 
flammable,  mixtures  of  air  or  oxygen  with  R134a  may 
become flammable under very particular conditions. 
The  equipment  must  be  operated  outdoor  or  in  a  well-
ventilated  location  (at  least  1  air  change  per  hour).  The 
workshop  has  to  be  equipped  with  ventilation  systems 
able  to  ensure  air  change  in  every  environment  area  or 
carry out periodical ventilation by opening the areas. 
Use  the  equipment  away  from  heat  sources  or  hot 
surfaces. The equipment must not be used in explosion risk 
environments  (potentially  explosive  atmospheres).  Before 
using it,  put  the  equipment  on  a  levelled  plane  and  secure 
position, blocking it with suitable wheel stops. 
Do not expose the tool to direct sunrays, heat sources, rain 
and  jets  of  water.  Do  not  smoke  near  the  equipment  and 
during operations (keep at a distance of at least 1 m). 
The work area must be monitored by the operator while the 
equipment is operating. 
 ATTENTION: 

R134a 

and/or 

R1234yf 

refrigerant 

fumes/gases are heavier than air and can gather on the floor 
or  inside  cavities/holes  and  cause  choke  by  reducing  the 
oxygen available for breathing. 
At high temperatures, the refrigerant breaks down releasing 
toxic  and  aggressive  substances,  harmful  for  the  operator 
and  the  environment.  Avoid  inhaling  the  system  coolants 
and oils. Exposure can irritate eyes and the respiratory tract. 
 

 

 
ELECTRICAL  CONNECTION:  Connect  the  power  cord 
solely  to  a  mains  supply  which  conforms  to  the  ratings  on 
the  machine's  nameplate  (mounted  on  its  side).  Make  sure 
the mains socket is grounded. 
Maximum impedance allowed in the point of connection to 
the  mains  shall  comply  with  standard  EN  61000-3-11. 
Starting currents can cause short voltage drops, which may 
affect  other  equipments  under  unfavourable  conditions.  If 
impedance  in  the  point  of  connection  to  the  mains  is  not 
compliant,  this  may  lead  to  interference  so  please  consult 
the electrical power network operator before connecting the 
equipment. 
Never use the service station with a defective power cord or 
a  different  one  from  that  supplied  with  the  machine.  If 
damaged,  immediately  have  it  replaced  with  an  original 
spare  part  or  equivalent  by  a  MAHLE  centre.  Before 
opening  the  service  station,  extract  completely  the  supply 
cable from the plug, or you can get an electric shock. 
Do  not  tamper  with  or  bypass  the  safety  equipment  and 
settings. 
Do not leave the machine powered up when not in use; shut 
off  the  power  supply  before  leaving  the  equipment  unused 

for  a  long  time.  Do  not  forget  that  the  tool  (pressure  tool)  must 
always be protected.  
 

 

 
REFRIGERANTS  AND  LUBRICANTS  -  PERSONAL  SAFETY 
EQUIPMENT  AND  PRECAUTIONS:  The  refrigerants  and  the 
pressure cylinders have to be handled with care, otherwise there will 
be possible health risks.  
The  operator  must  wear  safety  glasses,  gloves  and  protective 
clothing suitable to the work. Contact with the refrigerant can cause 
blindness  (eyes)  and  other  physical  damages  (freezing)  to  the 
operator.  Avoid  contact  with  the  skin;  the  refrigerant's  low  boiling 
point (approx. –26 °C for R134a and approx. -30 °C for R1234yf) can 
cause freezing burns.  
Further  information  about  safety  can  be  obtained  from  the  safety 
sheets of lubricant and refrigerant producers. 
Do  not  inhale  refrigerant  or  oil  vapour.  Keep  away  from  the  vent 
valves  and  ventilation  coupling,  especially  when  non-condensable 
gas is being vented. 
Never  direct  the  quick  couplings  (taps)  towards  your  face  or  other 
persons or animals.  
 

 

 
OTHER  PROHIBITIONS  AND  USE  LIMITATIONS:  Only  use  pure 
R134a  or  R1234yf  refrigerants,  refrain  from  using  on  vehicles 
containing  other  types  of  refrigerants  or  mixtures  of  the  two 
refrigerants  or  other  refrigerants.  Mixture  with  other  types  of 
refrigerant produces serious damage to the conditioning and cooling 
systems. Mixed refrigerants have to be disposed of according to 
the  current  regulations.  Never  use  ACX  equipment  with  systems 
containing compressed air; mixtures of R134a or R1234yf with air or 
oxygen may be potentially flammable. 
Do not modify calibration of safety devices. Do not remove seals of 
safety  valves  and  of  control  systems.  Do  not  use  external  tanks  or 
other  storage  containers  that  are  not  type-approved  or  without 
safety valves.  
Make  sure  the  equipment's  aeration  and  ventilation  ports  are  not 
obstructed or covered while the equipment is operating. 
 

 

 

HOSE CONNECTIONS: Hoses may contain pressurised refrigerant. 
Before  changing  the  service  couplers,  check  the  respective 
pressures in the hoses (pressure gauge).  
Before connection to a car A/C system, to an external tank/cylinder, 
check  that  the  quick  couplers  are  closed  (unscrewed  HP  and  LP 
valves).  
Scrupulously follow the instructions on the equipment's display.
