NOTE:

If it is necessary to drain the A/C service station(for example due to extraction of contaminated refrigerant), all filters and dryers must always be replaced (do not remove filter and dryer from the air-tight shipping packaging until before installation to minimize moisture absorption).

It is necessary to empty the A/C service station (for example because specific procedures must be performed on the A/C service station that correspond to the refrigerant which was or will be extracted from the A/C service station) it can be filled in recycling container and then reused. The requirement for this the it is not contaminated. Refer to the A/C service station Owner's Manual.

Refrigerant containers filled with contaminated or used refrigerant are referred to as "Recycling containers" or "R containers".

Thoroughly evacuate the recycling containers prior to initial filling with refrigerant (if there is air in a refrigerant container it is not to be filled with refrigerant).

Different types of refrigerant may not be mixed together (refrigerant mixtures cannot be recycled and are to be disposed of). If the contains of the container are not clear, share this with the gas preparator/gas disposer. Refer to CONTAMINATED REFRIGERANT, FILLING IN RECYCLING CONTAINER FOR ANALYSIS, PROCESSING, OR DISPOSAL and RETURN OF CONTAMINATED REFRIGERANT R1234YF FOR ANALYSIS, PREPARATION OR DISPOSAL .

CAUTION:

Risk of explosion due to overfilling the refrigerant vessels.

Refrigerant can expand and the refrigerant vessel can explode due to overfilling.

- Use a refrigerant vessel with safety valve.

- Never exceed the permitted capacity of the refrigerant vessel.

There are different possibilities for discharging the A/C service station. Pay attention to the A/C service station Owner's Manual. Refer to the A/C service station Owner's Manual.
