Refrigerant: Service Precautions

The air conditioning system in this vehicle contains Refrigerant-134a (R-134a). This chemical mixture requires special handling procedures to avoid
personal injury. Always wear goggles and wrap a clean cloth around fittings, valves, and connections when performing work that involves opening the
refrigerant system. Always work in a well ventilated area and avoid breathing any refrigerant fumes. Do not weld or steam clean on or near any
vehicle-installed air conditioning lines or components.

If R-134a should come in contact with any part of the body, flush the exposed area with water and immediately seek medical attention.

Before attempting any service which requires opening refrigeration system lines or components. Carefully follow the instructions for refrigerant recovery
and recycling, adding oil, evacuating, and recharging the refrigeration system.

All Refrigerant-134a disposable (colored blue) containers are shipped with a heavy metal screw cap to protect the valve and safety plug of the container
from damage. It is good practice to replace the cap after each use of the container to continue protection.
