Safety regulations for extraction and filling systems

WARNING

Improper handling of the filling system for the air conditioning.

- Unnecessary damage to the environment due to emerging refrigerant.

-> 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 cross-sectional area of at least 2.5 mm 2 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.
