Safety Precautions
WARNING : To prevent personal injury:
•
Study, understand, and follow all warnings in this manual before operating this
unit. If the operator cannot read these instructions, operating instructions and
safety precautions must be read and discussed in the operator’s native language.
— Si el operador no puede leer las instrucciones, las instrucciones de operación y
las precauciones de seguridad deberán leerse y comentarse en el idioma nativo
del operador.

•
The Identifier gives an alarm (audible and visual) should a sample be determined
to be potentially flammable.
•
Operate this unit with either R-12 or R-134a refrigerant. 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. 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 and
compressor must be turned OFF. This action prevents EMI/RFI problems as well
as eliminates potential user hazards from moving parts of the vehicle.
•
The air detection sensor is a chemical fuel cell sensor that will eventually
expire. The user must replace the air detection sensor whenever the instrument
indicates as such. Failure to replace the air detection sensor will result in non-
functionality of the instrument.
•
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.
•
To reduce the risk of electrical shock, do not open the instrument housing.
Do not use the instrument in wet or damp areas. Minimize the use of extension
cords.
