Service Manual
1 Servicing Hydrocarbon
Overview
This cabinet uses hydrocarbon (HC) R290 as its refrigerant. R290 is a natural refrigerant that
has a very low environmental impact.
Special service requirements are needed as R290 is a flammable refrigerant.
Safety hazards
The main R290 safety hazards are:
• Flammable refrigerant.
• Venting of R290 and compressor oil.
• Asphyxiation.
SKOPE does not recommend performing hazardous activities on the refrigeration system.
See “Refrigeration System” on page 29 for more information including examples of hazardous
activities.

(Refrigerant License NZ)
xMUST – Adhere to all on-site (workplace) Health and Safety requirements
xMUST – Not modify or alter the design of SKOPE equipment in any way
xMUST – In cases where the refrigeration system is not readily removable from the cabinet; then the
entire cabinet MUST be sent to the Hydrocarbon workshop for repair.
xMUST – ONLY use SKOPE OEM Spare Parts; or identical replacement parts. Any variation in
replacement part may render the system non-compliant and unsafe.
xMUST – Follow all best practice work activities for servicing hydrocarbon refrigerants (SKOPE
recommend attending specific hydrocarbon refrigeration handling training courses). Nitrogen must
be used for purging system before commencing “Hot Work” – brazing.
xMUST – Adhere to relevant SKOPE Service Manual. If any contradiction, the local Regulations take
precedence over SKOPE requirements
xMUST – Work only in suitable, safe and compliant work spaces. Personal Protective Equipment
must always be used when working on Hydrocarbon equipment.
xMUST – Service people diagnosing refrigeration faults must always carry and utilise Flammable Gas
detectors when working on Hydrocarbon equipment.
xMUST – Prior to any service work; know where and how to safely and quickly isolate power supply
to cabinet
xMUST – Not perform any Hot Work (brazing etc.) in the field. These are to be completed in a suitable
service depot / workshop (in a dedicated specific Hazardous Work Area compliant to local
flammable gas regulations)
xMUST – Not transport a refrigeration system with a known active leak. If there is an active leak the
refrigerant must be safely removed (with use of Bullet Piercing Valve or Line Tap valves) before
transporting. Valves must be removed at the hydrocarbon service depot once repair is completed.
xMUST – All hydrocarbon workshop areas must have emergency plans; that includes suitable
evacuation and fire control plans and equipment.
xMUST – Only use refrigerant grade hydrocarbon, to precise mass specified on removable
refrigeration system serial label.
xMUST – Be accurate refrigerant charge; The refrigerant mass is ultra-low charge and must only be
measured in by accurate scales to +/- 1.0gram. Refrigerant MUST not be overcharged; or added to
an already charged system.
xMUST – Use identical drier replacement; as any change will affect gas charge volume; and effect
reliability compliance and safety.
xMUST – Any pipework replacement, must be identical to genuine SKOPE parts.
xMUST – Not introduce a sparking device inside a cabinet or inside a removable refrigeration system.
Battery drills should not be used.
xMUST – Not perform any activity that could stress a refrigeration pipe (unless in a workshop).
xMUST – Get customer authorisation to permanently swap a removable refrigeration system.
xMUST – Have the Wellington Drive SCS Field app installed on a Bluetooth enabled device carried by
the service technician (exception is for cabinets that do not utilise the Wellington Drive Controller).
The app should be utilised for safe, accurate diagnosis of the system and it is required to complete
a controller replacement in the field.
xRECOMMENDED – Have the Wellington Drive SCS Track app installed on a Bluetooth enabled device
carried by the service technician. This passive app collects system data from the Wellington Drive
SCS Connect Controller and transmit it to the cloud.
xLogistics companies may be used to transport a complete refrigerator where no separation of the
refrigeration system occurs. Logistics companies are not required to be contracted to this SKOPE
Service Policy.

• The cabinet rating label (located in the upper inside of the cabinet) states the refrigerant
type.
• Warning labels are fitted to hydrocarbon refrigeration cabinets to indicate the use of
hydrocarbon refrigerant.
Personal protective equipment (PPE)
Correctly wear or use all PPE required by local regulations and procedures during servicing.
Service equipment
Only use dedicated hydrocarbon service equipment which is hydrocarbon-compliant.
Electrical equipment that could be exposed to the refrigerant must be intrinsically safe.
In addition to standard tools for accessing and removing parts, specialist tools are required for
completing the refrigeration system service tasks in this manual:
• Intrinsically safe refrigeration vacuum pump, rated by the manufacturer as suitable for use
with hydrocarbon refrigerant
• Dedicated hydrocarbon gauge set
• Flammable gas detector to warn if flammable refrigerant is present
• Charging scales, rated by the manufacturer as suitable for use with hydrocarbon
refrigerant, accurate to 1.0 gm
Leak detector
A leak detector is used to track and locate the source of hydrocarbon gas leaks. It is:
• recommended for servicing hydrocarbon units on-site.
• required for servicing hydrocarbon units off-site.
Service vehicle
• Must be suitable for transporting flammable gas.
• Vehicle cargo area:
▪ Must be well ventilated to outside the vehicle only.
▪ Must have no ignition sources, nor any areas where the gas may pool.
• Must be able to transport swap units.
• Should carry minimum SKOPE hydrocarbon service parts.
On-site Work The service technician must have required knowledge, skills, qualifications, and tools before
beginning any on-site work on the refrigeration sealed system.
IMPORTANT
Use only dedicated hydrocarbon SKOPE OEM spare parts.
DO NOT use alternative parts.
For safety compliance, use only SKOPE-supplied components
specified for the appliance.

Refrigeration
Cartridge
Assembly
The refrigeration cartridge is a top-mounted, electronically controlled, removable cartridge.
For safety and compliance, only repair the cabinet with SKOPE-supplied parts made
specifically for this appliance may be used for repairs. Other parts may appear to be suitable,
but may not be approved or safe for use in an appliance with hydrocarbon refrigerant.
The cartridge must only be used on a SKOPE hydrocarbon-compliant cabinet. Refer to the
cabinet rating label to determine if the cabinet is suitable for use with a hydrocarbon cartridge.
The rating label must state refrigerant as R290. If the label states a different refrigerant, or
does not state a refrigerant, it is not suitable for a hydrocarbon cartridge.
For servicing or transportation, the refrigeration cartridge unplugs and lifts off the cabinet.
Some minor servicing can be performed without removing the refrigeration cartridge.
WARNING
The hydrocarbon cartridge must only be used on an
hydrocarbon-compliant cabinet.
