Safety Regulations For Extraction and Filling Systems



Safety Regulations For Extraction And Filling Systems

General warning notes

WARNING: Danger of material damage and damage to health when handling extraction and filling systems.

- Before connecting the filling system to the air-conditioning, make sure that the manual shut-off valves are closed.
- Before disconnecting the filling system from the air-conditioning, make sure that the process is complete so that no refrigerant can escape into the atmosphere.
- After the purified refrigerant has been filled into an external compressed gas bottle from the filling system, the manual shut-off valves on the bottle and on the filling system should be closed.
- Do not expose the filling system to moisture or use in a damp environment. Shut off the power supply at the filling system before carrying out maintenance work.
- An extension cable with a cross-sectional area of at least 2.5 sq.mm
should be used only when absolutely necessary.
- In the case of fire, the external bottle should be removed.
- Fill the oil extracted from the air-conditioning system into a suitable closable container (the refrigerant oil contains small quantities of refrigerant).
- The filling system must be secured to prevent rolling.
