Precautions - New Holland T8010 Manual

Precautions

WARNING: Do NOT use solvent containing
alcohol, lacquer thinner, brake cleaner or
other non-approved solvents. Use only New
!
Holland approved flushing solvent. Other
flushing agents or solvents may damage A/C
system components.
New Holland A/C flushing solvent is a hazardous
material. Read all warnings on the flushing solvent
container prior to use and observe these safety
precautions:
1. The flushing solvent is combustible. Avoid heat,
sparks and open flame.
2. Use only in a well ventilated area. Mechanical
exhaust and an appropriate respirator may be
needed in warm and confined areas to protect
your safety.
3. Avoid breathing mist and vapor.
4. Wear chemical splash safety goggles.
5. Wear rubber gloves and a rubber apron when
handling the solvent or flushing components.
6. Observe all local, state and federal regulations
regarding the safe disposal of used flushing
solvent.
The goal of flushing is to remove contaminants from
the A/C system. Your shop air must be properly
filtered and dried with coalescing filter, or you will
simply replace one source of contamination with
another using dirty, moisture saturated air.
T h e c o m pr e s s o r, r e c ei ve r - dr i er a nd th e r m al
expansion valve must be bypassed (removed) when
performing circuit flushing. The compressor and
receiver-drier may never be flushed; the thermal
expansion valve can be back flushed.
Keep the lid on the flushing recovery bucket closed
when flushing to minimize the circulation of solvent
vapors.
Never allow the flushing solvent to remain in or on
t h e h o s e s fo r a n ex t e n d e d p e r i o d o f t i m e .
Overexposure of the hoses to the solvent, especially
the exterior, may cause hose swelling.
Do not open the fill cap on the flush reservoir when
the reservoir is under pressure. Release pressure
before removing cap.
