Technical data

working on the A/C system and the best possible evacuation (at least 30 minutes dehumidification from

refrigerant circuit) before each filling of the A/C system.

R 134a absorbs moisture very easily. Therefore seal off opened pipes, condenser, evaporator, compressor and

drier bottle immediately with plugs.

With replacement parts, the plugs may only be removed immediately before the lines are connected.

In the event of warranty claims, the old parts must be provided with plugs to be able to determine the cause of

the damage.

If an A/C system has been completely drained by leakage, accident or repair, the drier element must be replace

as excessive moisture may have entered the system. Refer to 64 53 510 REMOVING AND INSTALLING /

REPLACING DRIER BOTTLE FOR AIR CONDITIONER.

Store filled pressurized refrigerant bottles in such a way that they are not exposed to direct sunlight or other heat

sources (max. 45° C). Also avoid exposing them to mechanical stress (e.g. by dropping).

In the event of fire, carbon dioxide (CO2), extinguishant powder and a sprayed water jet are deemed to be

suitable extinguishants. Cool reservoirs at risk with a sprayed water jet (risk of bursting!).

64 50 ... SAFETY PRECAUTIONS WHEN HANDLING REFRIGERANT OIL (FOR REFRIGERANT

R 134A)

Action to be taken after contact with refrigerant oil:

 After contact with eyes, rinse thoroughly with plenty of water and take out contact lenses (if worn). Then

seek immediate medical attention.

 After contact with the skin, wash body parts affected with plenty of soap and water.

 Do not induce vomiting if oil is swallowed, seek immediate medical attention.

 If inhaled, introduce the person affected to fresh air. Seek medical attention if problems persist.

CAUTION: After each refill of an A/C system, check that protective caps of filling

valves are hand-tight. They serve as additional seals.

WARNING: Observe the following points when handling refrigerant oil:

 Wear protective goggles.

 Wear gloves made from impermeable plastic.

 Do not swallow.

 Do not inhale.

WARNING: Refrigerant oil is non-combustible and non-explosive at normal

temperatures. In spite of this, the following precautions must be
