Safety regulations

Always carefully read and observe all the safety
regulations before using the Bosch product.
Avoid all skin contact with the refrigerant.
The low boiling point of the refrigerant
(approx. -30 °C) can lead to frostbites.
Should it nevertheless come into contact
with the skin, remove any moistened clothing
immediately and rinse the affected skin with
copious amounts of water.
R
Avoid all skin contact with the UV dye. Should
it nevertheless come into contact with the skin,
remove any moistened clothing immediately and
rinse the affected skin with copious amounts of
water.
R
R134a is colorless, has a weak intrinsic odor and
is heavier than air. It displaces oxygen and may
flow into repair pits. Should refrigerant escape
(malfunction), always ensure adequate ventilation
and air extraction (especially in pits). Exit the
workshop.
Never inhale refrigerant, dye and oil vapors.
The vapors can irritate the eyes, nose and
respiratory system. If liquid refrigerant or UV
dye comes into contact with the eyes, rinse
them thoroughly with water for 15 minutes.
Then obtain medical help even if no pain is
felt.
R
Never swallow UV dye. If swallowed inadvertently,
never attempt to induce vomiting. Drink copious
amounts of water and obtain medical help.
R
Before connecting the ACS 611 to a vehicle air
conditioner or an external refrigerant cylinder, make
sure the quick-release couplings are not leaking.
Only ever use external refrigerant cylinders provided
with safety valves and certified in line with the
applicable standards.
R
Before switching off the ACS 611, make sure all
filling and drainage operations have been completed.
This prevents refrigerant escaping into the
environment.

Never use compressed air with R134a.
Certain mixtures of air and R134a are highly
flammable. Such mixtures are a potential
hazard and may lead to fire or explosions
and thus cause damage or injury.
R
Refrigerant extracted from a vehicle air conditioner
may be contaminated with moisture, lubricant, dirt
and traces of other gases.
R
R134a is not to be used in areas in which there is a
danger of explosion. Fire, naked flames and smoking
are prohibited. Welding and soldering are not
permitted.
R
High temperatures and UV radiation may chemically
separate the R134a. The resultant products cause
coughing and nausea.
R
R134a is not to be mixed with other refrigerants.
The mixing of refrigerants could damage the vehicle
air conditioner.
If high-voltage components or high-voltage
wires are inappropriately handled, there is a
risk of fatal injury from high voltages and the
possible transmission of current through the
body.
R
De-energization is only to be performed by a
qualified electrician, a qualified electrician for
specific tasks (hybrid), or a power systems engineer.
R
Work on vehicles with high-voltage components is
only ever to be performed in a safe, de-energized
condition by persons with the minimum qualification
"Trained to perform electrical work".
R
Even after deactivating the high-voltage vehicle
electrical system, the high-voltage battery may still
be live.
R
The operating condition cannot be established from
any running noise, as the electric machine is silent
when stationary.
R
In gear positions "P" and "N" the engine or electric
motor may start spontaneously depending on the
charge of the high-voltage battery.
R
Never open or damage high-voltage batteries.
R
On accident vehicles, never touch high-voltage
components or exposed high-voltage wires before
deactivating the high-voltage vehicle electrical
system.
