MOTION HAZARDS

Engine parts that are in motion and unexpected movement of a vehicle can
•
injure or kill. When working near moving engine part, wear snug fit clothing and
keep hands and fingers away from moving parts. Keep hoses and tools clear of
moving part.
Always stay clear of moving engine parts.
through the air if not kept clear of moving engine parts.
• The unexpected movement of a vehicle can injure or kill. When working on vehicles
always set the parking brake or block the wheels.

FUME HAZARDS

FUMES, GASES, AND VAPORS CAN CAUSE DISCOMFORT, ILLNESS, AND
•
DEATH! To reduce the risk of discomfort, illness, or death, read, understand,
and follow the following safety instructions.
anyone that uses the equipment understands and follows these safety
instructions as well.
• Avoid breathing A/C refrigerant and lubricant vapor mist. Exposure may irritate eyes,
nose, and throat. To remove HFC-134a from the A/C system, use service equipment
certified to meet the requirements of SAE J2788--HFC-134a recycling equipment.
Additional health and safety information may be obtained from additional refrigerant and
lubricant manufacturers.
• Always perform vehicle service in a properly ventilated area. Never run an engine without
proper ventilation for its exhaust.
• Stop the recycling process if you develop momentary eye, nose, or throat irritation as this
indicates inadequate ventilation. Stop work and take necessary steps to improve
ventilation in the work area

HEAT/FREEZING HAZARDS

When under pressure, refrigerants become liquid. When accidentally released
•
from the liquid state they evaporate and become gaseous. As they evaporate,
they can freeze or frostbite tissue very rapidly. When these gases are breathed,
the lungs can be seriously damaged. If sufficient quantities are taken into the
lungs, death can result. If you believe you have exposed your lungs to released refrigerant,
seek immediate medical assistance.
• Refrigerants can cause frostbite and severe burns to exposed skin. Refrigerants are
under pressure and can be forcibly sprayed in all directions if carelessly handled. Avoid
contact with refrigerants and always wear hand coverings and make certain other exposed
skin is properly covered.
• Refrigerants can also severely injure or cause permanent blindness to unprotected eyes.
Refrigerants are under pressure and can be forcibly sprayed in all directions if carelessly
handled. Avoid contact with refrigerants and always wear safety goggles

EXPLOSION/FLAME HAZARDS

Never recover anything other than the approved refrigerants as specified on the
•
machine. Alternate refrigerants may contain flammables such as butane or
propane and can explode or cause a fire. Recovering alternate refrigerants will
also void the warranty on your machine.
• For general safety reasons, at the end of the working day or in between services (when
services do not immediately follow), see to it that all valves on hoses and bottles are
closed
