RECOVERY
WAR N I N G
Use care to prevent refrigerant from touching your skin or eyes; wear protective gloggles and nonleather gloves
when servicing Air Conditioning systems. Liquid refrigerant, when exposed to air,quickly evaporates and will
freeze skin or eye tissues. Serious injury or blindness may result if you come in contact with liquid refrigerant.
Refrigerant R-134a A/C systems should not be pressure tested or leak tested with compressed air. Combustible
mixtures of air and R-134a may form, resulting in a fire or explosion, which could cause personnel injury or
death.
