Personal injury can result from contact with refrigerant.This system is under pressure at all times, even if the engine is not running. Heat should never be applied to a charged system.Contact with refrigerant can cause frost bite. Keep face and hands away to help prevent injury.Protective goggles must always be worn when refrigerant lines are opened, even if the gauges indicate the system is empty of refrigerant.Always use caution when a fitting is removed. Slowly loosen the fitting. If the system is still under pressure, evacuate the system recovering the refrigerant before removing the fitting.Personal injury or death can result from inhaling refrigerant through a lit cigarette.Inhaling air conditioner refrigerant gas through a lit cigarette or other smoking method or inhaling fumes released from a flame contacting air conditioner refrigerant gas, can cause bodily harm or death.Do not smoke when servicing air conditioners or wherever refrigerant gas may be present.Before any checks of the air conditioning and heating system are made, move the machine to a smooth horizontal surface. Lower all implements to the ground. Make sure the transmission is in neutral or park and that the parking brake is engaged. Keep all other personnel away from the machine or where they can be seen.
Personal injury can result from hot coolant. Any contact with hot coolant or with steam can cause severe burns. Allow cooling system components to cool before the cooling system is drained.
If service work is required on an air conditioning system, the refrigerant must be recovered first before components are removed or installed. Use the following procedure:
Use the refrigerant identifier. The refrigerant identifier will detect refrigerants that are not R134a. The refrigerant identifier will prevent the refrigerants from contaminating the tools for recovery and the tools for charging. The refrigerant identifier will also detect the percentage of air that may be in the system.

Install the manifold gauge set (6). Make sure that both valves are closed. Turn the valves clockwise to close the valves. Refer to theTesting and Adjusting, "Manifold Gauge Set (Refrigerant) - Install" section.Note: Do not operate the engine.
Attach charging hose (3) of the Manifold gauge set to the inlet (8) on the refrigerant service unit.
Slowly open valves (1) and (2) to release the air from the charging hose. Ensure that the valves on the refrigerant tank (13) are open. One valve is for vapor and the other valve is for liquid.
Plug the recovery station into an electrical outlet and turn the power switch ON. This switch is located on the control panel (7).
Press the "Compressor Start". The amber "Compressor On" light will come on
