THE SAFE WAY IS THE ONLY WAY!
NOTE! If you are not a qualified refrigerant service technician,
1. The technician should always wear goggles and gloves when working on
refrigeration systems.
2. Be sure that any room where you are working is thoroughly ventilated,
3. Always think before acting. Familiarity breeds carelessness and carelessness can
be harmful to your health or, worse, result in death.
4. Read the Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS) on all compounds with which you
are likely to come in contact. Read MSDS on refrigerant and refrigerant oil. Obtain
MSDS sheets from your refrigerant supplier.
5. Never use oxygen when testing for leaks. Any oil in contact with oxygen under
pressure will form an explosive mixture.
6. Refrigerant systems are generally electrically driven and controlled. Be sure to
disconnect the unit from the power source before servicing it.
7. Always store refrigerant containers in a cool, dry place.
8. Always open service and cylinder valves slowly. This allows quick control of the flow
of gasses if there is any danger. Once it is determined that there is no danger, the
valves may be opened fully.
9. Do not mix refrigerant in a system, a tank or anywhere else. Each type of refrigerant
must have its own tank, filters, etc.
10. If moisture enters the refrigerant system, it is likely to cause considerable damage.
Keep everything connected with the refrigeration system thoroughly dry and clean.
11. To reduce the risk of fire, avoid the use of extension cords as they may overheat. If
you must use an extension cord it should be a minimum of 14 AWG and not longer
than 7,5m (25ft).
This equipment should be used in locations with mechanical ventilation providing at
least four air changes per hour, or the equipment should be located at least 45cm (18")
above the floor. Do not use this equipment in the vicinity of spilled or open containers of
