Refrigerant: Service Precautions
WARNING:
-
Under no circumstances should refrigerant hoses be disconnected without first discharging the system.
-
Always wear safety goggles when opening refrigerant connections.
FIRST AID: If refrigerant should contact the eyes or skin, splash the eyes or affected area with cold water for several minutes. Do not rub. As soon as
possible thereafter, obtain treatment from a doctor or eye specialist.
The following precautions in handling Refrigerant 12 should be observed at all times.
DO NOT:
-
Leave refrigerant container open to atmosphere.
-
Carry refrigerant container inside a vehicle.
-
Subject refrigerant containers to high temperature.
-
Weld or steam clean near an air conditioning system.
-
Expose eyes to liquid refrigerant, ALWAYS wear goggles.
-
Discharge refrigerant vapor into an area with an exposed flame or into an engine intake. Heavy concentrations of refrigerant in contact with
naked flame produce a toxic gas, phosgene.
-
Allow liquid refrigerant to contact bright metal, it will tarnish metal and chrome surfaces, and combined with moisture can seriously corrode
all metal surfaces.
