3. REFRIGERANT
Do not put CFC-12 refrigerant into a HFC-134a air condi-
tioning system. Also, do not put HFC-134a refrigerant into
a CFC-12 air conditioning system. If the wrong refrigerant
is used, poor lubrication will result and the compressor
itself may be destroyed.
G4M0979
4. HANDLING OF REFRIGERANT
Because refrigerant boils at approx. 30°C (22°F) at sea
level, it is cold enough to give you severe frostbite. Always
wear goggles to protect your eyes and gloves to protect
your hands. Also, even under the pressures normally found
in CFC-12 containers, refrigerant will boil with the addition
of heat. This could raise the pressure inside the container
to a dangerous level.
Never expose a can of HFC-134a to direct sunlight, or to
temperatures over 40°C (104°F). One more thing to
remember about HFC-134a is that when it is exposed to an
open flame or to hot metal, it forms phosgene, a deadly
gas. Do not discharge HFC-134a into the atmosphere on
purpose. Always read and follow the precautions on the
HFC-134a bottle.
