PRECAUTIONS ON MAINTENANCE
Cautions when servicing the air
conditioner
If the refrigerant comes in contact with eyes,
it damages your eyesight. If the refrigerant
comes in contact with skin, it may cause
frostbite. Never touch the refrigerant.
Handling of the accumulator
Be sure to handle the high-pressure nitrogen
gas enclosed in the accumulator with care. If
handled incorrectly, it could explode and
cause serious injury. Strictly observe the
following precautions:
• Do not disassemble.
• Do not allow flame near or throw it into a
fire.
• Do not drill, weld or fuse.
• Do not subject it to physical shock such as
hitting, rolling or dropping.
• Before disposing of the unit, the sealed gas
must be drained. Contact a Takeuchi
service agent for help.
