SAFETY PRECAUTIONS:

• Always wear safety goggles.
• Avoid skin contact with refrigerant or refrigerant oil.
• Work in a well ventilated area.
• Never release refrigerant into the atmosphere.
• Never expose refrigerant containers to direct heat or temperature in excess of 125°F.
• Never expose refrigerant to an open flame.
CAUTION: Do not remove protective caps from the accumulator until it is ready for

accumulator may absorb moisture, limiting its longevity. A poorly functioning accumulator may
cause damage to the air conditioning system.
