Safety when servicing
Handling hazardous substances 99
In case of contact with escaping refrigerant, the following
actions must be taken:
Q The gases, which are formed when refrigerant is heated may
have seriously harmful effects on lungs and the nervous
system even at low concentrations and when no smell is
detectable. High concentrations have a narcotic effect. An
exposed person must be moved out of the danger area out into
the open air. Seek medical advice if there are remaining
symptoms.
Q In liquid form, the refrigerant may cause frostbite. Carefully
heat the injured area with lukewarm water or warm clothes.
Seek medical advice, if there are remaining symptoms.
Q Seek medical advice, if liquid refrigerant has come into contact
with someone's eyes.
Q If a leak is suspected, leave the dangerous area and contact an
accredited workshop to obtain information about what action
should be taken.
Batteries
Q Do not smoke near batteries, as these give off explosive gases.
Q Make sure that metal objects, e.g. tools, rings and watch straps,
do not come into contact with the battery pole studs.
Q Make sure that the battery pole stud protections always are in
place.
Q Do not tilt a battery in any direction. Battery electrolyte may
leak out.
Q Do not connect a discharged battery in series with a fully
charged battery. Risk of explosion.
Q When removing a battery, disconnect the ground cable first and
when installing, connect the ground cable last to reduce the risk
of sparks.
Q Discarded batteries must be taken care of according to current
national regulations.
Q Charging batteries, see page 123.
Q Starting with booster batteries, see page 124.
WARNING!
Batteries contains sulphuric acid, which is very corrosive
to skin.
