5 SAFETY
The advanced technology adopted in the design and production of ALASKA PREMIUM/HFO makes this
unit extremely simple and reliable for the performance of all operations.
The user is therefore not exposed to any risk provided that the general safety rules indicated below are
followed and that the unit is properly used and maintained.
5.1 General safety rules
• This unit is intended for use by professionally trained operators only. Such operators must have
knowledge of refrigeration, refrigeration systems, refrigerants and the potential hazards that units
under high pressure can cause.
• To ensure safe and proper use of the unit, the user must read this manual carefully.
• Check that the type of refrigerant of the A/C system corresponds with the type of refrigerant
planned for the unit.
• Only use refrigerant of the type planned for the unit, ref. unit nameplate tted near main switch.
Mixing with other types of refrigerant will seriously damage the cooling and refrigeration systems, as
well as the service unit.
• Suitable protective equipment such as goggles and gloves MUST be worn. Contact with the
refrigerant can cause blindness and other physical injuries to the operator. Avoid contact with the
skin – the low boiling point of the refrigerant (approx. –30°C) can cause frost burns.
• Avoid inhalation of vapours from refrigerants.
• Ensure that all the valves are closed before making connections between the unit and an A/C
system or an external tank.
• Ensure that the phase has been completed and that all valves are closed before disconnecting the
unit. This will prevent release of the refrigerant into the atmosphere.
• Do not modify the safety valve or control system settings.
• Do not use external tanks or storage containers that have not been type-approved or that are not
tted with safety valves.
• Do not leave the unit connected to a power supply unless it is going to be used immediately. Switch
off the electrical power supply if the unit is to be out of use for prolonged periods.
• All the exible hoses may contain refrigerant at high pressure.
• Disconnect exible hoses with extreme caution.
• The service unit and A/C systems in vehicles containing refrigerants should not be tested with
compressed air. Some mixtures of air and refrigerant have proven to be combustible at high pressure
levels. These mixtures are potentially hazardous and there is a risk of re and explosion that can
cause damage to property and personal injury. Additional medical and safety information can be
obtained from the manufacturers of the lubricants and refrigerants used. Remember that the unit
must be supervised at all times.
• The unit must not be used in potentially explosive environments.
• Do not smoke near the unit.
