Service Station, Draining

CAUTION:
- When filling recycling containers (compressed-gas vessels), observe applicable regulations, technical rules and laws.
- Recycling containers are never to be overfilled (overfilled containers do not have a sufficient gas cushion to accommodate the liquid expansion caused by the effects of heat. There is a danger of rupture).
- To ensure safety, make exclusive use of recycling containers fitted with a safety valve.
- Recycling containers must be weighed on calibrated scales during the filling process. The maximum permissible capacity is 75% (charge factor 0.75) of the charge weight indicated on the recycling container (the possibility of refrigerant oil entering the recycling container along with the refrigerant cannot be ruled out).

NOTE:
- If it is necessary to evacuate the A/C service station (e.g. because contaminated refrigerant was extracted), always replace all filters and dryers. Remove filters and dryers from air-tight shipping packaging only immediately prior to installation to minimize moisture penetration as much as possible.
- Refrigerant containers filled with contaminated used refrigerant are referred to as "Recycling containers".
- Always evacuate recycling cylinders before first charging with refrigerant. Refrigerant cylinders in which there is air must not be filled with refrigerant.
- Different refrigerant types must not be mixed together. Refrigerant mixtures cannot be reprocessed but must be disposed of. If there is any doubt about the composition of the contents of the container, the refrigerant recycling company is to be informed accordingly.
