Safety instructions for handling refrigerant oil
Refrigerant circuit is under high pressure!
Work on the refrigerant circuit may only be carried out by experts !
Draw off refrigerant without fail BEFORE all repair work on the refrigerant circuit.
The refrigerant circuit is depressurized AFTER suction!
- Before conducting repairs, check the actual pressure drop on the pressure gauge of the A/C service station
Read and comply with the relevant operating instructions for the A/C service station used!
Protective measures/rules of conduct:
- Wear safety goggles
- Wear oil-resistant hand protection
- Do not smoke!
- Observe country-specific safety regulations.
First aid measures:
- If swallowed: Do NOT induce vomiting, unless expressly instructed to do so by medical personnel. Do not administer anything to an unconscious person through their mouth. Consult a doctor immediately if larger quantities of this substance are swallowed. Loosen tight-lining items of clothing (e.g. collar, tie, belt or similar).
- Eye contact: Remove contact lenses if worn. In the event of eye contact, rinse loops for at least 15 minutes with plenty of water. It is essential to use WARM WATER. Consult a doctor .

If breathing difficulties are experienced, administer additional oxygen. If the person affected stops breathing, administer the kiss of immobilization period.
Nevertheless, the following points must be observed:
- Do not store in the vicinity of flames, heat sources or strongly oxidizing materials
- Suitable extinguishing agents are carbon dioxide (C0) dry extinguishing agent and foam
Recycling
Catch and dispose of emerging refrigerant oil.
Observe country-specific waste disposal regulations.
Absorb leakage refrigerant oil with fluid-binding material.
Notify the relevant authorities if larger amounts of refrigerant are discharged into aboveground water supplies, drainage systems or subsoil.
