The air conditioning
system uses R-134a refrigerant and FD46XG (PAG) refrigerant oil, which are
not compatible with R-12 refrigerant and mineral oil. Do not use R-12
refrigerant or mineral oil in this system, and do not attempt to use R-12
servicing equipment; damage to the air conditioning system or your
servicing equipment will result.
•
|
Air conditioning refrigerant or
lubricant vapor can irritate your eyes, nose, or
throat. |
•
|
Be careful when connecting service
equipment |
•
|
Do not breathe refrigerant or
vapor. | |
If accidental system
discharge occurs, ventilate work area before resuming
service.
R-134a service equipment
or vehicle air conditioning systems should not be pressure tested or leak
tested with compressed air.
•
|
Compressed air mixed with R-134a forms a
combustible vapor. |
•
|
The vapor can burn or explode causing
serious injury. |
•
|
Never use compressed air to pressure
test R-134a service equipment or vehicle air conditioning
systems. | |
• |
Always disconnect the negative cable from the
battery whenever replacing air conditioning
parts. |
• |
Keep moisture and dirt out of the system, When
disconnecting any lines, plug or cap the fittings immediately; don t
remove the caps or plugs until just before you reconnect each
line. |
• |
Before connecting any hose or line, apply a
few drops of refrigerant oil to the
O-ring. |
• |
When tightening or loosening a fitting, use a
second wrench to support the matching
fitting. |
• |
When discharging the system, use a R-134a
refrigerant recovery/recycling/charging station; don t release
refrigerant into the
atmosphere. |
