Safety Precautions
ALLOW ONLY QUALIFIED PERSONNEL TO OPERATE THE MACHINE. Beforeoperatingthemachine,
readandfollowtheinstructionsandwarningsinthismanual.Theoperatormustbefamiliarwithair
conditioningandrefrigerationsystems,refrigerants,andthedangersofpressurizedcomponents.Ifthe
operatorcannotreadthismanual,operatinginstructionsandsafetyprecautionsmustbereadanddiscussed
intheoperator’snativelanguage.
USE THE BAC 5100YF AS OUTLINED IN THIS MANUAL.Usingthemachineinamannerforwhichitwas
notdesignedwillcompromisethemachineandnullifytheprotectionsprovided.
PRESSURIZED TANK CONTAINS LIQUID REFRIGERANT.Donotoverlltheinternalstoragevessel(ISV),
becauseoverllingmaycauseexplosionresultinginpersonalinjuryordeath.Donotrecoverrefrigerants
intononrellablecontainers;useonlytype-approvedrellablecontainersthathavepressurereliefvalves.
HOSES MAY CONTAIN LIQUID REFRIGERANT UNDER PRESSURE. Contactwithrefrigerantmay
causepersonalinjury,includingblindnessandfrozenskin.Wearprotectiveequipment,including
gogglesandgloves.Disconnecthosesusingextremecaution.Ensurethephasehasbeencompleted
beforedisconnectingthemachinetopreventthereleaseofrefrigerationtotheatmosphere.
DO NOT BREATHE REFRIGERANT AND LUBRICANT VAPOR OR MIST.R1234yfreducestheoxygen
availableforbreathing,resultingindrowsinessanddizziness.ExposuretohighconcentrationsofR1234yf
causesasphyxiation,injurytotheeyes,nose,throat,andlungs,andcanaffectthecentralnervoussystem.
Usethemachineinlocationswithmechanicalventilationthatprovidesatleastoneairchangeperhour.If
accidentalsystemdischargeoccurs,ventilatetheworkareabeforeresumingservice.
DO NOT DISPERSE REFRIGERANT INTO THE ENVIRONMENT.Suchaprecautionisnecessarytoprevent
thepossiblepresenceofrefrigerantintheworkingenvironment.
TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE,donotusethemachineinthevicinityofspilledoropencontainersof
gasolineorotherammablesubstances.
TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE, donotuseanextensioncord. Anextensioncordmayoverheatandcause
re.Ifyoumustuseanextensioncord,usetheshortestpossiblecordwithaminimumsizeof14AWG.
TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE,donotusethemachineinthevicinityofamesandhotsurfaces.
Refrigerantcandecomposeathightemperaturesandcanfreetoxicsubstancestotheenvironmentwhich
canbenoxioustotheuser.
TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE,donotusethemachineinenvironmentscontainingexplosivegasesor
vapors.
TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE,donotusethismachineinATEXclassiedzonesorareas.Protectthe
machinefromconditionsthatmaycauseelectricalfailureorotherhazardsrelatingtoambientinteraction.
DO NOT USE COMPRESSED AIR TO PRESSURE TEST OR LEAK TEST THE MACHINE OR VEHICLE
AIR CONDITIONING SYSTEM.MixturesofairandR1234yfrefrigerantcanbecombustibleatelevated
pressures.Thesemixturesarepotentiallydangerousandmayresultinreorexplosioncausingpersonal
injuryand/orpropertydamage.
HIGH VOLTAGE ELECTRICITY INSIDE THE MACHINE HAS A RISK OF ELECTRICAL SHOCK. Exposure
maycausepersonalinjury.Disconnectthepowerbeforeservicingthemachine.
NEVER LEAVE THE MACHINE LIVE IF AN IMMEDIATE USE IS NOT SCHEDULED.Disconnectthe
electricalsupplybeforealongperiodofinactivityorbeforeinternalmaintenanceisperformed.Toensure
thatunauthorizedpersonnelcannotrunthemachine,usetheLockout/TagOutfeature.
DO NOT MODIFY THE PRESSURE RELIEF VALVE OR CHANGE THE CONTROL SYSTEM SETTINGS.
Usingthemachineinamannerforwhichitwasnotdesignedwillcompromisethemachineandnullifythe
protectionsprovided.
WARNING : To prevent personal injury,
