Technician Safety Information

WARNING

- Automotive refrigerant containing CFC's is hazardous to the earth's atmosphere. To protect our environment, use an Underwriter's Laboratory (UL) approved refrigerant recovery/recycling unit such as Kent-Moore ACR3 or equivalent, whenever discharging an A/C system.

- The A/C system should be serviced only by trained personnel familiar with equipment use, related safety precautions and regulations governing the discharging/handling/disposal of automotive refrigerants.

- Always wear safety goggles when charging or discharging system. Use caution so that refrigerant does not come in contact with your skin or eyes. If refrigerant comes in contact with skin or eyes, do not rub, flush immediately with cool water, then seek medical attention.

- Keep refrigerant away from open flames, exposure to open flame will produce poisonous gas.
