CAP. 4 - LAYOUT AND USE OF THE MANUAL 16 / 73 ENGLISH
4.4 GUIDELINES FOR HANDLING REFRIGERANT
4.4.1 Precautions for refrigerant storage
The refrigerant removed from the A/C system must be handled with care to prevent or minimise
the risk of mixing with other refrigerants.
The external canisters used to store the refrigerants must be clearly marked to prevent mixing
different refrigerants.
The canisters must be free of oil and other contaminants.
ATTENTION: when handling, using and storing R-134a gas and dealing with
emergency situations, MAKE SURE to refer to the product's safety sheet.
OBTAIN THE SAFETY SHEET FROM YOUR REFRIGERANT SUPPLIER AND
FOLLOW ITS INSTRUCTIONS
4.4.2 Refrigerant conditions
The condition of the refrigerant is critical to the operation of the vehicle's A/C system. Running
repairs properly following failure of damage safeguards the quality of the refrigerant itself
(particulates, acids and water).
4.4.3 Recycling capacity
The service equipment's filtering systems must be replaced regularly (see maintenance messages)
to ensure effective recycling.
