DANGER Risk of fire  due to ignition of R1234yf refrigerant on hot components. Risk of poisoning  caused by inhaling overheated refrigerant vapors. Risk of injury  to skin and eyes caused by contact with escaped R1234yf refrigerant and when working on pressurized parts. Risk of explosion  due to formation of ignitable refrigerant/air mixtures Never perform welding work on or near a closed air conditioning system. No smoking or open flames. Wear safety glasses and protective gloves. Work only in well ventilated rooms. Carry out repair work on the air conditioning system circuit only after the system has been evacuated.

REFER TO SPECIAL TOOLS 000 588 37 21 00 Leak tester   WS83.00-P-0067B 
4 Check evaporator for leaks using forming gas Model 117, 156, 172, 176, 190, 231, 242, 246  
    IMPORTANT The system pressure must be maintained for at least 4 h.
IMPORTANT The leak tester operator's manual must be observed.
IMPORTANT Temperature changes during the pressure test can cause pressure surges, e. g. due to weather changes, transition from day to night, cooling down of engine compartment. Ensure that the ambient conditions are identical.
If a pressure drop is determined
