SAFETY PRECAUTION
4- Safety Precaution
1- Personal Protection:
Air conditioning systems offers chemic, mechanic and
electric risks.
It is mandatory to wear IPE (Individual Protection
Equipment), picture 1 to protect yourself from
refrigerant gas, refrigerant oil, battery acid, waste
launched, engine high temperature and noise.
2- High Pressure:
The refrigerant in liquid state and high pressure causes a
potential risk. When the refrigerant is sprayed to natural air, it

Check if manometer hoses are in good conditions, when
holding them; stay far from belts, pulleys and hot surfaces.
4- Hot Surface:
The compressor discharges, exhaust pipes and other engine
components can be extremely hot.

5- Rotation Components:
The fans, pulleys and belts are not visible under certain
conditions. Special care must be taken when putting your hands
near them.
6- Welding:
Welding must be done carefully; it causes burns and spray toxic
gases out. Provide ventilated places to do it.
7- Toxic Gases:
The refrigerant gas along with flame becomes into toxic gases
and can cause very serious breathing illness. Take special care in
closed places, if gases scape somehow (leakage) and then it can
cause no toxygen in the air.
Other Care:
•
When handling and going up and down stairs, ladders and platforms, you can
slide or they can break.
•
Wear a seat belt always when working over 1.5m high.
•
Never apply heat in recipients or pressured lines.
•
Never operate the equipment if discharge service valve is closed.
•
The refrigeration oil can cause irritation to your skin and eyes.
•
Check if every screw are long enough and right tight.
•
Components that are not in good conditions must be replaced by new
ones due to safety reasons.
