Refrigerant: Service Precautions

Refrigerant drums have a heavy metal cap. The cap protects the valve and safety plug from damage. For this reason, always replace the cap after each use.

Whenever a container of refrigerant must be carried in a vehicle, do not carry it in the passenger compartment. See the manufacturers guidelines for storage, transportation and the maximum temperature to which the container can be exposed.

When filling a small refrigerant drum from a large one, never fill the smaller drum completely. Always leave space for the liquid to expand.
