If this system is filled with CFC-12 (R-12) refrigerant or serviced using compressor oils or parts that are not appropriate for HFC-134a (R-134a) refrigerant, refrigerant leakage and damage or other faulty conditions will occur in the A/C system. This will also cause damage to or faulty operation of the servicing equipment.

Use only HFC-134a (R-134a) refrigerant and also use only the specified compressor oil and replacement parts. Never use CFC-12 (R-12) refrigerant or compressor oil and parts intended for the use with CFC-12 (R-12) refrigerant.
