WARNING : To prevent personal injury,
ALLOW ONLY QUALIFIED PERSONNEL TO OPERATE THE MACHINE. Before operating the machine,
read and follow the instructions and warnings in this manual. The operator must be familiar with air
conditioning and refrigeration systems, refrigerants, and the dangers of pressurized components. If the
operator cannot read this manual, operating instructions and safety precautions must be read and discussed
in the operator's native language.
USE THE BAC 4100A AS OUTLINED IN THIS MANUAL. Using the machine in a manner for which it was
not designed will compromise the machine and nullify the protections provided.
PRESSURIZED TANK CONTAINS LIQUID REFRIGERANT. Do not overfill the internal storage vessel (ISV),
because overfilling may cause explosion resulting in personal injury or death. Do not recover refrigerants
into nonrefillable containers; use only type-approved refillable containers that have pressure relief valves.
HOSES MAY CONTAIN LIQUID REFRIGERANT UNDER PRESSURE. Contact with refrigerant may
cause personal injury, including blindness and frozen skin. Wear protective equipment, including
goggles and gloves. Disconnect hoses using extreme caution. Ensure the phase has been completed
before disconnecting the machine to prevent the release of refrigeration to the atmosphere.
DO NOT BREATHE REFRIGERANT AND LUBRICANT VAPOR OR MIST. R134a reduces the oxygen
available for breathing, resulting in drowsiness and dizziness. Exposure to high concentrations of R134a
causes asphyxiation, injury to the eyes, nose, throat, and lungs, and can affect the central nervous system.
Use the machine in locations with mechanical ventilation that provides at least one air change per hour. If
accidental system discharge occurs, ventilate the work area before resuming service.
DO NOT DISPERSE REFRIGERANT INTO THE ENVIRONMENT. Such a precaution is necessary to prevent
the possible presence of refrigerant in the working environment.
TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE, do not use the machine in the vicinity of spilled or open containers of
gasoline or other flammable substances.
TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE, do not use an extension cord. An extension cord may overheat and cause
fire. If you must use an extension cord, use the shortest possible cord with a minimum size of 14 AWG.
TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE, do not use the machine in the vicinity of flames and hot surfaces.
Refrigerant can decompose at high temperatures and can free toxic substances to the environment which
can be noxious to the user.
TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE, do not use the machine in environments containing explosive gases or
vapors.
TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE, do not use this machine in ATEX classified zones or areas. Protect the
machine from conditions that may cause electrical failure or other hazards relating to ambient interaction.
DO NOT USE COMPRESSED AIR TO PRESSURE TEST OR LEAK TEST THE MACHINE OR VEHICLE
AIR CONDITIONING SYSTEM. Mixtures of air and R134a refrigerant can be combustible at elevated
pressures. These mixtures are potentially dangerous and may result in fire or explosion causing personal
injury and / or property damage.
HIGH VOLTAGE ELECTRICITY INSIDE THE MACHINE HAS A RISK OF ELECTRICAL SHOCK. Exposure
may cause personal injury. Disconnect the power before servicing the machine.
NEVER LEAVE THE MACHINE LIVE IF AN IMMEDIATE USE IS NOT SCHEDULED. Disconnect the
electrical supply before a long period of inactivity or before internal maintenance is performed. To ensure
that unauthorized personnel cannot run the machine, use the Lockout / Tag Out feature.
DO NOT MODIFY THE PRESSURE RELIEF VALVE OR CHANGE THE CONTROL SYSTEM SETTINGS.
Using the machine in a manner for which it was not designed will compromise the machine and nullify the
protections provided.
