Section 4 Service Caution & Notice - Geely CK Series 2007 Workshop Manual

I. Service Caution
Refrigerant Treatment
•
During the treatment, the operator shall be careful not to inhale A/C refrigerant or lubricant vapor. Long-
term exposure to the A/C environment will cause the operator's eye, nose and throat liable to stimulation.
In addition, based on the consideration on the environment influence, when discharging the HFC-134a
from the A/C system, we suggest using the recyclable and rechargeable devices. If sudden system fault
occurs, it is recommended to place the device on a ventilated place before starting service.
•
For HFC-134a service equipment, it is recommended not to perform the pressurization check or leakage
inspection. If these mixture combust, it may result in severe human injury or property loss.
•
Please be noticed not to let the refrigerant leak near the spark or other hot objects. If the refrigerant gas
contacts the spark or similar heat source (e.g. cigarette or heater), it may generate poisonous gas. The
refrigerant is extremely liable to leakage during the transportation. In this case, please eliminate or remove
the heat source mentioned above and keep good ventilation.
•
It is very dangerous to handle the liquid refrigerant. Only a drop of refrigerant can result in local frostbite
on skin if dropped on the skin of the operator. Therefore, it is specified that the operator shall always
wear glove and eye protection during the handling of the liquid refrigerant. If liquid refrigerant gets in
your eyes or on your skin, Wash the area with much cool water. Go immediately to hospital for professional
treatment.
Refrigerant Preservation
•
Refrigerant preservation container is a high pressure resistant equipment. If it is put in hot treatment, the
explosion may arise, and the resulting metal fragments and the splashed liquid refrigerant will result in
severe human injury. It is recommended to preserve the refrigerant below 40°C.
II. Service Notice
Insufficient Refrigerant Handling
•
If the refrigerant is founded to be insufficient during the fault diagnosis, it is recommended not to add
refrigerant because of the following facts: the pressure readings indicated by different pressure gauge
are different, thus you will be unable to determine the exact amount of the refrigerant to be added, and
excessive or insufficient refrigerant may cause a series of chained negative effects such as damaged
refrigerant circulation parts or deteriorated refrigeration effect. Therefore, if the refrigerant is found to
be insufficient, it is recommended to drain the refrigerant from the refrigerant circulation pipeline and fill
specified amount of the refrigerant.
Compressor Oil Handling
•
For this type of vehicle, it is recommended to use SW-100 type compressor oil. Use of PAG compressor
oil other than the SW-100 type may cause the A/C compressor to be damaged.
•
During the operation, please be noticed not to splash the SW-100 type compressor oil onto the vehicle
surface. Therefore, if this happens, please wipe it off immediately, otherwise the compressor oil will
damage the paint on the vehicle surface.
