Refrigerant: Service Precautions
HANDLING REFRIGERANT-12
Air conditioning systems contain Refrigerant-12, a chemical which requires special handling to avoid personal injury.
Always wear goggles and wrap a clean cloth around fittings, valves and connections when opening the system. Work in a ventilated area and do not weld
or steam clean near air conditioning lines or components.
Refrigerant.12 drums are shipped with a metal screw cap that protects the valve and safety plug from damage. Replace the cap after each use.
WARNINGS:
-
Do not carry a container of Refrigerant-12 in the passenger compartment of a vehicle.
-
Never subject any container to high temperatures.
-
Do not breathe the smoke or fumes produced by burning Refrigerant-12.
If Refrigerant-12 touches exposed flesh do the following:
^
Treat the area as if it were frost bitten or frozen.
^
Call a-doctor or eye specialist and obtain treatment.
^
DO NOT RUB THE EYE. Splash the area with cold water to raise temperature above the freezing point.
^
Use an antiseptic oil to provide a protective film over the eyeball to reduce the possibility of infection.
