The refrigerant may cause severe burns resulting in frostbite. In
case of injuries proceed in the following manner:
- if the refrigerant hits your eyes, DO NOT rub eyes, it is necessary
to immediately wash them with some drops of mineral oil and after-
wards with a solution consisting of boric acid and water (one tea-
spoon of acid diluted in 1/4th a litre - 0.26 U.S. qt - of water). Seek
medical attention as soon as possible.
- If the refrigerant hits the skin causing it to become frostbitten, try
to warm up the injured area with cold water and subsequently ap-
ply some greasy cream.
WARNING - When working in very dusty areas and a greater cab
pressurization is required to prevent dust from entering the cab, it is
recommended closing the air recirculating outlets.
