Page 10: General Rules
• Disposal of the equipment: removal of the refrigerant destined to be stored in order to be disposed of later (destroyed or transferred to waste disposal plants). • Vacuum: the evacuation of non-condensable gases and humidity from the A/C system exclusively through a vacuum pump.
Page 11 Safety Measures: • The operator must avoid inhaling the vapors of the refrigerant liquids; use appropriate protection when required. • The operator is required to wear appropriate safety glasses and gloves that prevent direct contact with the refrigerants. • Do not use the equipment near open flames, sparks, hot surfaces: the refrigerant decomposes at high temperatures, letting off toxic chemical substances that are harmful to people and the environment.
Page 12: Device Safety
4.5 Device Safety The equipment was designed in compliance with the regulations on pressure equipment and assemblies, evaluating and reducing the risk where present and making appropriate considerations. However, vibrations, pressure variations or excessive temperatures, especially if cyclic, should be avoided. Safety Measures: •...

Page 14: Safety Precautions To Follow When Using The Refrigerants
4.7 Safety Precautions to follow when using the Refrigerants The refrigerant R1234yf has been classified as flammable. Safety Measures: • See the safety sheet of this refrigerant to store it correctly. 4.8 Workplace Safety The equipment is designed to work at a maximum altitude of 1000 m / 3281 ft above sea level, with an operating temperature between 5 °C / 41 °F and 40 °C / 104 °F and a maximum humidity of 50% at 50 °C / 122 °F.
Page 15: Recycling Capacity
If the history of the system is not known, the refrigerant recovered must at least be recycled before it is reused. When the contamination level is not known, you may carry out some preliminary checks with the kit specifically for acidity and humidity measurements. 4.9.3 Recycling Capacity The filtering systems of the device must be replaced regularly in order to guarantee device efficiency.
Page 16: Additional Safety Rules
