AirConServiceCenter Safety
Each time you start up the unit or top up the AirCon Service Center, first
check whether the unit and all the service hoses are undamaged and that
all valves are closed.
Always position the unit on level ground and secure the front wheels.
Only use approved refrigerant vessels with safety valves to refill the Air-
Con Service Center.
Drain the service hoses before you undo the connections.
Only use R-1234yf refrigerant. If other refrigerants are mixed in, this can
damage the AirCon Service Center and the vehicle air conditioning sys-
tem.
Only use WAECO UV additive. If you use other UV additives, it could
cause damage to the AirCon Service Center. This will invalidate any war-
ranty.
Before you shut down the AirCon Service Center, make sure that the se-
lected programme has ended and that all valves are shut. Otherwise re-
frigerant can leak.
Always use the main switch of the AirCon Service Center to switch it on
and off. Do not leave the unit unattended when it is switched on.
Maintenance and repairs to the unit may only be performed by qualified
and approved personnel from suitable and certified specialist companies.
Do not pump compressed air into the refrigerant lines of the AirCon Ser-
vice Center or the vehicle air conditioning system. A mixture of com-
pressed air and refrigerant can be flammable or explosive.
2.3 Handling refrigerant safely
Maintenance must not be carried out on the vehicle air conditioner when
the engine is at operating temperature.
When performing maintenance on the vehicle air conditioner the surface
temperature of attachment parts or surrounding parts must be less than
405 °C.
Wear personal safety equipment (safety goggles and protective gloves)
and avoid coming into contact with the refrigerant. Contact with the refrig-
erant draws out body heat and the affected areas can freeze.
Make sure that refrigerant is not able to escape and leak into the environ-
ment during operation, when filling or draining refrigerant or during repair
and service work.
This adheres to environmental protection laws. It also avoids the difficulty
or impossibility of detecting leaks in the vehicle or in the unit due to the
presence of refrigerant in the vicinity of the unit.
Do not inhale refrigerant vapour. Although the vapour is non-toxic, it dis-
places the oxygen you need to breathe.
