WARNING: Do not operate the detector in a combustible atmosphere since its sensor operates at high temperatures or personal injury and/or damage to the equipment may result.

Ensure that the vehicle has at least 0.45 kg (1 lb) of refrigerant in the A/C refrigeration system in order to perform a leak test. Refer to Refrigerant Recovery and Recharging  for recharging the A/C system.

Important  : Halogen leak detectors are sensitive to the following items:

Clean and dry all surfaces in order to prevent a false warning. Liquids will damage the detector.

Important  : Follow a continuous path in order to ensure that you will not miss any possible leaks. Test all areas of the system for leaks.
