•
Operate this unit with R-134a refrigerant only. Cross-
contamination with other refrigerant types causes
severe damage to the A/C system, to service tools,
and equipment. Do NOT attempt to adapt the unit for
another refrigerant. Do NOT mix refrigerant types
through a system or in the same container.
•
Do not breathe refrigerant and lubricant vapor or
mist. Exposure may irritate eyes, nose, and throat.
Use recycling equipment certified to meet SAE
J2788 requirements to remove refrigerant from the
A/C system. If accidental system discharge occurs,
immediately ventilate the work area. There must be
adequate ventilation in the vehicle servicing area.
•
When testing vehicle air conditioning systems, the
vehicle ignition must be turned OFF. This action
prevents EMI / RFI problems, as well as eliminates
potential user hazards from moving parts of the vehicle.
•
Wear eye and skin protection when working with
refrigerants. Escaping refrigerant vapors can freeze
upon contact. Do NOT direct refrigerant escaping from
the sample hose toward exposed skin or toward the face.
•
Connection to power sources greater than 14V DC
could cause “out-of-warranty” damage. Connection to
a battery which is not fully charged, or is smaller than a
typical vehicle battery, may cause errors in reading.
•
To reduce the risk of battery explosion due to spark
generation : First connect the RED clip to the positive
12-volt battery terminal; then connect the BLACK clip to
a metal ground location away from the battery.
