Vehicle Damage Warnings

CAUTION:
- Follow all refrigerant system safety precautions.
- The refrigerant identifier must be used before the system is evacuated, otherwise the service station may become contaminated. Contaminated refrigerant must be disposed of as special waste. The manufacturer's instructions must be followed when dealing with the service station.
- The A/C refrigerant Analyzer must be used before recovering, otherwise the refrigerant of the refrigerant centre may contaminate. All contaminated A/C refrigerant must be disposed of as hazardous waste. For all equipment, follow the equipment manufacturers instructions.
- Suction accumulator, muffler, hoses, thermal expansion valve, and fixed orifice tube should be removed when flushing the A/C system. Internal plumbing of these devices makes it impossible to properly remove any residual flushing agent. Except for the hoses, these components are typically discarded after A/C system contamination. Hoses can normally be reused unless they are clogged with debris. The Ford A/C Flushing Solvent and filter used in A/C Flusher are intended for use on one vehicle only. They may be used to flush both the A/C condenser core and the A/C evaporator core on an individual vehicle, but under no circumstances should they be used on more than one vehicle.
- The air conditioning system must always be evacuated before filling.
- Only gaseous filling of the air conditioning system is carried out through the low-pressure connection.
- The maximum pressure of 13.5 bar must not be exceeded.

NOTE: Only A/C Flushing Kit, which includes A/C Flusher, A/C Flusher Fitting Kit and Ford A/C System Flushing Solvent, is approved for use on Ford vehicles. No other flushing device or solvent is approved for flushing heat exchangers. Use of any other flusher or solvent may cause damage to the A/C system and the flushing unit.

Failure to successfully remove all residual solvent within the A/C components can result in system damage when reconnected and operated.

CAUTION: Make sure that the air conditioning system is filled, otherwise it will be irreparably damaged.
