For Z13DT Engine Model
WARNING:
• Your eyes should not be exposed to refrigerant (liquid).
Any liquid HFC-134a (R-134a) escaping by accident shows a temperature as low as approximately
–6 °C (21 °F) below freezing point. Should liquid HFC-134a (R-134a) get into your eyes, it may cause
a serious injury. To protect your eyes against such accident, it is necessary to always wear gog-
gles. Should it occur that HFC-134a (R-134a) strikes your eyes, consult a doctor immediately.
– Do not use your hand to rub the affected eye(s). Instead, use quantities of fresh cold water to
splash it over the affected area to gradually raise temperature of such area above freezing point.
– Obtain proper treatment as soon as possible from a doctor or eye specialist.
• Should the HFC-134a (R-134a) liquid come into contact with your skin, the affected area should be
treated in the same manner as when skin is frostbitten or frozen.
• Refrigerant must not be handled near where welding or steam cleaning is performed.
• Refrigerant should be kept at a cold and dark place. It should never be stored where a high temper-
ature is anticipated, e.g. where exposed to direct sun light, close to fire or inside vehicle (including
trunk room).
• Avoid breathing fumes produced when HFC-134a (R-134a) is burned. Such fumes may be hazard-
ous to health.
