RT 120 - RTH 120
ENGLISH
BEFORE INSTALLING THE CONDITIONER OR CARRYING OUT MAINTENANCE, DISCONNECT ALL THE
CONNECTIONS TO THE VEHICLE BATTERY AND TO EVERY OTHER POWER SOURCE. FAILURE TO
OBSERVE THIS INSTRUCTION WILL EXPOSE THE FITTER TO A RISK OF ELECTROCUTION AND
PHYSICAL DAMAGE DUE TO THE MOVEMENT OF MECHANICAL PARTS (PULLEYS, BELTS, ELECTRIC
FANS).
If the electrical wires have to pass through walls with sharp edges, use protective pipes or specific channels.
Securely fasten the electrical wires, paying special attention to their route along metal walls that conduct
electricity; also avoid contact with sharp elements.
CHECK THE POSSIBLE NEED TO REPLACE THE VEHICLE'S ALTERNATOR WITH A MORE POWERFUL
ONE TO COMPENSATE FOR THE ELECTRIC ABSORPTION OF THE SYSTEM.
Connect the conditioner to the vehicle power supply protecting the system with a fuse.
Close or open the connections of the cooling circuit, using two spanners to balance the tightening torque.
When working near to the batteries (evaporator and/or condenser) pay attention not to cut yourself on the
edges of the fins.
During operations that implicate the handling of cooling fluid, remember that:
- when it is close to a source of heat it produces an unpleasant smelling gas which irritates the eyes and the
respiratory system
- a circuit containing cooling fluid must never be heated with a flame, because it is easily inflammable
- in its liquid state, cooling fluid evaporates when it comes into contact with the atmosphere and freezes
everything it comes into contact with.
If it freezes:
- plunge the frozen part immediately into COLD water. If there is no water available, gently wrap the frozen
part in a clean cloth.
If the cooling fluid has come into contact with the eyes, rinse them thoroughly with clean water and see a doctor.
Avoid contact with synthetic oils. Wash carefully after contact.
The oil contained in the system is inflammable.
BEFORE OPERATING ON THE COOLING CIRCUIT WITH FLAMES, ENSURE THAT THERE ARE NO
TRACES OF COOLANT LEFT INSIDE THE SYSTEM.
Perform the recovery and open the system; wait for the remaining coolant to come out.
ATTENTION: SOME PARTS OF THE SYSTEM MAY CONTAIN OIL THAT CAN IGNITE EVEN IN THE
ABSENCE OF COOLANT.
Dispose of the packing materials as required by the standards in force, separating them if a separate waste
disposal system is available.
