RECOVERY, RECYCLING, EVACUATION
AND CHARGING
Handling Refrigerant-134a (HFC-134a)
Air conditioning systems contain HFC-134a.
This is a chemical mixture which requires special handling
procedures to avoid personal injury.
Always wear safety goggles and protective gloves.
Always work in a well-ventilated area. Do not weld or steam
clean on or near any vehicle-installed air conditioning lines
or components.
If HFC-134a should come in contact with any part of the
body, flush the exposed area with cold water and
immediately seek medical help.
If it is necessary to transport or carry any container of HFC-
134a in a vehicle, do not carry it in the passenger
compartment.
If it is necessary to fill a small HFC-134a container from a
large one, never fill the container completely. Space should
always be allowed above the liquid for expansion.
Keep HFC-134a containers stored below 40
C (104
F).
WARNING
SHOULD HFC-134a CONTACT YOUR EYE(S), CONSULT
A DOCTOR IMMEDIATELY.
DO NOT RUB THE AFFECTED EYE(S). INSTEAD,
SPLASH QUANTITIES OF FRESH COLD WATER OVER
THE AFFECTED AREA TO GRADUALLY RAISE THE
TEMPERATURE OF THE REFRIGERANT ABOVE THE
FREEZING POINT.
OBTAIN PROPER MEDICAL TREATMENT AS SOON AS
POSSIBLE. SHOULD THE HFC-134a TOUCH THE SKIN,
THE INJURY MUST BE TREATED THE SAME AS SKIN
WHICH HAS BEEN FROSTBITTEN OR FROZEN.
F06R300012
REFRIGERANT RECOVERY
The refrigerant must be discharged and recovered by using
ACR4 (HFC-134a Refrigerant Recovery/Recycling/Recharging/
System) or equivalent before removing or installing air
conditioning parts.
ACR
4 (115V 60Hz) :5-8840-0629-0 (J-39500-A)
ACR4 (220-240V 50/60Hz)
: 5-8840-0630-0 (J-39500-220A)
ACR
4 (220-240V 50/60Hz Australian model)
: 5-8840-0631-0 (J-39500-220ANZ)
1) Connect the high and low charging hoses of the ACR
4 (or
equivalent) as shown.
2) Recover the refrigerant by following the ACR
4
Manufacturer's Instructions.
3) When a part is removed, put a cap or a plug on the
connecting portion so that dust, dirt or moisture cannot get
into it.
