Safety Precautions When Working On A/C Systems

Risk of explosion from ignition sources

There is a risk explosions due to ignition sources near the A/C system and refrigerant cylinders. Leaking refrigerant can ignite and cause an explosion. Severe bodily injury or death due to explosions is possible.

-- Do not bring ignition sources near A/C systems and refrigerant cylinders.

There is risk of destroying the refrigerant lines.

The refrigerant lines can be destroyed by ripping through the inner foil.

-- Never bend the refrigerant lines to a radius smaller than r = 100 mm.
