Safety Precautions When Working On A/C Systems

Ignition sources are extremely dangerous and pose a risk of explosion

Ignition sources near the A/C system and refrigerant containers are extremely dangerous and pose a risk of explosion. Leaking refrigerant can ignite and lead to an explosion. Death or serious bodily injury by explosion.

-- Never bring ignition sources near A/C systems and refrigerant containers.

-- Discharge electrostatic and prevent sparks resulting from striking tools and hot surfaces.

There is risk of destroying the refrigerant lines.

The refrigerant lines can be destroyed by ripping through the inner foil.

-- Never bend the refrigerant lines to a radius smaller than r = 100 mm.
