Refrigerant

______________________________
In consideration of our environment, Taylor proudly
uses only earth friendly HFC refrigerants. The HFC
refrigerant used in this unit is R404A. This
refrigerant is generally considered non-toxic and
non-flammable, with an Ozone Depleting Potential
(ODP) of zero (0).
However, any gas under pressure is potentially
hazardous and must be handled with caution.
NEVER fill any refrigerant cylinder completely with
liquid. Filling the cylinder to approximately 80% will
allow for normal expansion.
Refrigerant liquid sprayed onto the skin may
cause serious damage to tissue. Keep eyes and skin
protected. If refrigerant burns should occur, flush
immediately with cold water. If burns are severe,
apply ice packs and contact a physician
immediately.
Taylor reminds technicians to be cautious of
government laws regarding refrigerant recovery,
recycling, and reclaiming systems. If you have any
questions regarding these laws, please contact the
factory Service Department.
WARNING: R404A refrigerant used in
conjunction with polyolester oils is extremely
moisture absorbent. When opening a refrigeration
system, the maximum time the system is open must
not exceed 15 minutes. Cap all open tubing to
prevent humid air or water from being absorbed by
the oil.

Compressor Warranty Disclaimer
The refrigeration compressor(s) on this machine are
warranted for the term indicated on the warranty
card accompanying this machine. However, due to
the Montreal Protocol and the U.S. Clean Air Act
Amendments of 1990, many new refrigerants are
being tested and developed; thus seeking their way
into the service industry. Some of these new
refrigerants are being advertised as drop-in
replacements for numerous applications. It should
be noted that in the event of ordinary service to this
machine's refrigeration system, only the refrigerant
specified on the affixed data label should be used.
The unauthorized use of alternate refrigerants will
void your compressor warranty. It will be the owners'
responsibility to make this fact known to any
technicians they employ.
It should be noted that Taylor does not warrant the
refrigerant used in its equipment. For example, if the
refrigerant is lost during the course of ordinary
service to this machine, Taylor has no obligation to
either supply or provide its replacement, either at
billable or unbillable terms. Taylor does have the
obligation to recommend a suitable replacement if
the original refrigerant is banned, obsoleted, or no
longer available during the five year warranty of the
compressor.
Taylor will continue to monitor the industry and test
new alternate refrigerants as they are being
developed. Should a new alternate prove, through
our testing, that it would be accepted as a drop-in
replacement, then the above disclaimer would
become null and void. To find out the current status
of an alternate refrigerant as it relates to your
compressor, call the local Taylor Distributor or the
Taylor Factory. Be prepared to provide the
model/serial number of the unit in question.
