Refrigerant: Service Precautions
CAUTION
REFRIGERANT
-
CFC-12 refrigerant cannot be used in a HFC-134a A/C system. HFC-134a refrigerant, also cannot be used in a CFC-12 A/C system.
-
If an incorrect or no refrigerant is used, it will result in poor lubrication and the compressor itself may be damaged.
HANDLING OF REFRIGERANT
-
The refrigerant boils at approx. -30 degrees C (22 degrees F). When handling it, be sure to wear protective goggles and protective gloves. Direct
contact of the refrigerant with skin may cause frostbite.
If the refrigerant gets into your eye, avoid rubbing your eyes with your hands. Wash your eye with plenty of water, and receive medical treatment
from an eye doctor.
-
Do not heat a service can. If a service can is directly heated, or put into boiling water, the inside pressure will become extremely high. This may
cause the can to explode. If a service can must be warmed up, use warm water of 40 degrees C (104 degrees F) or less.
-
Do not drop or subject a service can to impacts. (Observe the precautions and operation procedure described on the refrigerant can.)
-
When the engine is running, do not open the high-pressure valve of the manifold gauge. High-pressure gas can back-flow resulting in an explosion
of the can.
-
Provide good ventilation and do not work in a closed area.
-
In order to prevent global warming, avoid releasing HFC-134a into the atmosphere. Using a refrigerant recovery system, discharge and recycle the
gas.
