PREPARATION


Sealant or/and Lubricant


HFC-134a (R-134a) Service Tool and Equipment
- Never mix HFC-134a (R-134a) refrigerant and/or its specified lubricant with CFC-12 (R-12) refrigerant and/ or its lubricant.
- Separate and non-interchangeable service equipment must be used for handling each type of refrigerant/lubricant.
- Refrigerant container fittings, service hose fittings and service equipment fittings (equipment which handles refrigerant and/or lubricant) are different between CFC-12 (R-12) and HFC-134a (R-134a). This is to avoid mixed use of the refrigerants/lubricant.
- Never use adapters that convert one size fitting to another: refrigerant/lubricant contamination occurs and compressor malfunction may result.
