Use care to prevent refrigerant from touching your skin or eyes. 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.
Refrigerant R-134a is odorless. As a result, all of it may leak away and not be noticed until system stops cool-
ing. All vehicle refrigerant systems lose some refrigerant depending on condition of system. Higher loss rates
signal a need to locate and repair leaks.
Leaks are most often found at compressor hose connections and at various fittings and joints in system. If unap-
proved replacement hoses are installed, refrigerant can be lost through hose permeation.
