Information from the refrigerant manufacturer
Any special instructions on servicing vehicle air conditioning systems
which apply at your company
Only use the device for its intended purpose.
Only use R 134a refrigerant. If other refrigerants are mixed in, it can
damage the AirConServiceCenter and the vehicle air conditioning system.
Only use WAECO UV additive. If you use other UV additives, it can
damage the AirConServiceCenter.
Wear personal safety equipment (safety goggles and protective gloves)
and avoid coming into contact with the refrigerant. Contact with the
refrigerant draws out body heat and the affected areas can freeze.
Do not inhale refrigerant vapour. Although the vapour is non-toxic,
it displaces the oxygen you need to breathe.
Do not make modifications to the AirConServiceCenter.
Each time you start up the device or top up the AirConServiceCenter,
first check whether the device and all the service hoses are undamaged
and that all valves are closed.
Do not start up the AirConServiceCenter if it is damaged.
Only used approved refrigerant bottles with safety valves to refill the
AirConServiceCenter.
Drain the service hoses before you release connections.
Do not operate the AirConServiceCenter in areas where there is a risk of
explosions (for example battery charging rooms or spraying booths).
Always use the main switch of the AirConServiceCenter to switch the station
on and off. Do not leave the device unattended when it is switched on.
