Safety Precautions When Working On A/C Systems
WARNING: This page is about a different variant/trim than selected.
CAUTION:
There is a risk of getting frostbite from the refrigerant.
Refrigerant can come out under pressure when working on the A/C system. Frostbite on the skin and other parts of the body is possible.
-- Wear safety gloves.
-- Wear protective eyewear.
-- Extract refrigerant and open the refrigerant circuit immediately.
-- If more than 10 minutes elapse after extracting the refrigerant and the refrigerant circuit was not opened, extract the refrigerant again. Pressure can develop in the refrigerant circuit due to evaporation.
CAUTION:
There is risk of destroying the refrigerant lines.
The refrigerant lines can be destroyed by cracks in the inner foil.
-- Never bend the refrigerant lines to a radius smaller than r = 100 mm.
