Attention.
- It is allowed to use only those lubricants that are recommended for air conditioning systems -134a (R-134a) and parts of air conditioning systems -134a (R-134a).
- The use of lubricants other than those recommended may cause damage to the compressor.
- Recommended for HFC-134a (R-l34a) Lubricants quickly absorb moisture from the atmosphere. When servicing the air conditioner, the following precautions must be observed:
- When dismantling parts of the system from the vehicle, immediately close them with plugs (seals) to reduce the penetration of atmospheric moisture into parts.
- When installing parts of the air conditioner on the car, do not remove the plugs (seals), until other parts are connected. Connect all parts of the air conditioning circuit as quickly as possible to reduce the penetration of moisture into the system.
- Use only recommended grease in unopened containers. Close the grease container immediately after use. Loosely sealed grease will become saturated with moisture and cannot be used in the future.
- Avoid getting grease (oils type S for Nissan air conditioning systems) on foam parts. This may damage them.
General Precautions When Handling Refrigerant
Attention.
- Avoid open venting of the air conditioning circuit and do not expose the oil to steam or moisture. The fumes may cause irritation to the eyes, nose and throat. For venting HFC-134a refrigerant system (R-134a) Use only approved refrigerant recycling/replacement equipment. If a refrigerant leak occurs, thoroughly ventilate the area before proceeding. Additional health and safety information is available from refrigerant and lubricant manufacturers.
- Do not release refrigerant into the atmosphere. Use approved refrigerant recovery/replacement equipment to capture refrigerant while it is being discharged from the system.
- When working with any refrigerants or any air conditioning systems, always wear safety goggles and gloves to protect your eyes and hands.
- Do not heat the refrigerant container (including storage) to temperatures above 52'C.
- Do not expose the refrigerant container to an open flame; if the container needs to be heated, place the bottom of the container in a bucket of hot water.
- Do not intentionally throw, pierce or burn the refrigerant container.
- Keep refrigerant away from open flame. Combustion of the refrigerant produces poisonous gas.
- The refrigerant displaces oxygen and must be handled in a well-ventilated area to prevent asphyxiation.
- During the repair work performed, do not check the tightness of the service equipment and (or) vehicle air conditioning systems, as well as checking for HFC-134a refrigerant leaks (R-134a) using compressed air. In some proportions, a mixture of air and refrigerant HFC-134a (R-134a) becomes combustible at high pressure. If ignited, this mixture can cause injury and serious damage. Additional health and safety information can be obtained from refrigerant manufacturers.
