64 50... Safety instructions for handling refrigerant oil (all X3 models, 2018-2022)

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).

Refrigerant oil is non-flammable and non-explosive at normal temperatures. 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 (CO_{) 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.
