The Following Precautions Must Be Observed

  1. When it is necessary to open the refrigeration system, have everything you will need to service the system ready so the system will not be left open any longer than necessary.
  2. Cap or plug all lines and fittings as soon as they are opened to prevent the entrance of dirt and moisture.
  3. All lines and components in parts stock should be capped or sealed until they are ready to be used.
  4. Never attempt to rebind formed lines to fit. Use the correct line for the installation you are servicing.
  5. All tools, including the refrigerant dispensing manifold, the gauge set manifold and test hoses, should be kept clean and dry.
  6. Carefully inspect refrigerant connections, joint seals and seal surfaces for signs of wear, deformation, contamination or damage after disassembly. Prior to disassembly, look for presence of refrigerant oil on adjacent surfaces that could be sign of a leak.
  7. Never reuse seals O-rings, but replace with all new parts.
  8. Ensure proper alignment of male female portions and seal so there is no misalignment and stress on the fitting connection.
