Refrigerant: Service Precautions
General Refrigerant Precaution
PRECAUTIONS
General Refrigerant Precaution
WARNING:
-
Avoid breathing A/C refrigerant and oil vapor or mist. Exposure may irritate eyes, nose and throat. Use only approved
recovery/recycling equipment to discharge HFC-134a (R-134a) refrigerant. If accidental system discharge occurs, ventilate work area
before resuming service. Additional health and safety information may be obtained from refrigerant and oil manufacturers.
-
Do not release refrigerant into the air. Use approved recovery/recycling equipment to capture the refrigerant every time an air
conditioning system is discharged.
-
Always wear eye and hand protection (goggles and gloves) when working with any refrigerant or air conditioning system.
-
Do not store or heat refrigerant containers above 52°C (126° F).
-
Do not heat a refrigerant container with an open flame; if container warming is required, place the bottom of the container in a warm
pail of water.
-
Do not intentionally drop, puncture, or incinerate refrigerant containers.
-
Keep refrigerant away from open flames: poisonous gas will be produced if refrigerant burns.
-
Refrigerant will displace oxygen, therefore be certain to work in well ventilated areas to prevent suffocation.
-
Do not pressure test or leak test HFC-134a (R-134a) service equipment and/or vehicle air conditioning systems with compressed air
during repair. Some mixtures of air and HFC-134a (R-134a) have been shown to be combustible at elevated pressures. These mixtures, if
ignited, may cause injury or property damage. Additional health and safety information may be obtained from refrigerant
manufacturers.
