Working On The Refrigerant Circuit

CAUTION:

Work on refrigerant system should only be performed in a ventilated rooms (workshops).

  • Ensure that there are no workshop pits, basement staircases or shafts within a five meter circumference. Turn on the existing ventilation systems.
  • The refrigerant emerging is not only colorless and odorless, but also heavier than air and thus displaces oxygen. If refrigerant gas does escape even though all the safety precautions have been followed, there is a risk of suffocating in poorly ventilated areas and in shop pits - even if it is not noticeable.
WARNING:

Risk of injury due to excess pressure in the A/C system during heating.

  • Exposure to heat creates considerable pressure in the A/C system, which could cause it to burst.
  • Do not weld or hard- or soft-solder on sections of the A/C system when filled. This pertains also for welding and soldering work on the vehicle, in the event that parts of the climate control system may heat up
  • Replace damaged or leaking A/C system parts.
CAUTION:

Malfunctions due to moisture entering the A/C system.

  • When servicing the A/C system, all open components and pipe connections are to be immediately re-sealed.
  • If the A/C system was open for a longer period of time, check the components for corrosion damage and replace as needed.
