CAP. 3 - SAFETY CONDITIONS 8 / 74 ENGLISH
ClimFill Maxi
REFRIGERANTS AND LUBRICANTS – PERSONAL PROTECTION EQUIPMENT AND
PRECAUTIONS: The refrigerants and the pressure vessels have to be handled with care,
otherwise there will be possible health risks.
The operator must wear safety glasses, gloves and protective clothing suitable to the
work. Contact with the refrigerant can cause blindness (eyes) and other physical
damage (freezing) to the operator. Avoid contact with the skin; the low boiling
temperature (about –26 °C for R134a) may cause burns.
Further information about safety can be obtained from the safety sheets of lubricant
and refrigerant producers.
Do not inhale refrigerant or oil vapour. Keep away from the vent valves and ventilation
coupling, especially when non-condensable gas is being vented.
Never direct the quick couplings (taps) towards your face or other persons or animals.
OTHER PROHIBITIONS AND USE LIMITATIONS: Use only pure R134a refrigerant, and do not
use it on vehicles containing other types of refrigerants. The mixture with other types of
refrigerant produces serious damage to the conditioning and cooling systems. Mixed
gases have to be disposed of according to current regulations. Do not use the ClimFill
®
Maxi station with compressed air systems, R134a and air mixtures can be potentially
explosive.
Do not modify calibration of safety devices. Do not remove seals of safety valves and
of control systems. Do not use external tanks or other storage containers that are not
type-approved or without safety valves.
Make sure the equipment's aeration and ventilation ports are not obstructed or
covered while the equipment is operating.
