Safety Precautions
0-0-8 Workshop Manual Issue 5, January 2010
Tools and Equipment
• Do not leave tools, equipment, spilt oil, etc. around or on the work area.
• Ensure that tools and equipment used are in good condition; do not use damaged or defective tools or
equipment.
• Do not apply heat in an attempt to free stiff nuts or fittings; as well as causing damage to protective coatings, the stray
heat may damage electronic equipment, harnesses and
brake lines.
• Use the recommended service tool where instructed to do so.
Used Engine Oil
Prolonged and repeated contact with mineral oil will result
in the removal of natural fats from the skin, leading to
dryness, irritation and dermatitis. In addition, used engine
oil contains potentially harmful contaminants which may
cause skin cancer. Adequate means of skin protection and
washing facilities should be provided.
Health protection precautions
• Avoid prolonged and repeated contact with oils, particularly used engine oil.
• Wear protective clothing , including impervious gloves where practicable.
• Do not put oily rags in pockets.
• Avoid contaminating clothes with oil.
• Overalls must be cleaned regularly. Discard un-washable clothes and oil impregnated footwear.
• First aid treatment should be obtained immediately for open cuts or wounds.
• Use barrier creams, apply before each work period to help the removal of oil from the skin.
• Wash with soap and water to ensure all oil is removed. Preparations containing lanolin replace the natural skin
oils which have been removed.
• Do not use petrol, kerosene, diesel fuel, gas oil, thinners or solvents for washing skin.
• If skin disorders develop, obtain medical advice.
• Where practicable, degrease components prior to handling .
• Where there is a risk of eye contact, eye protection should
be worn. In addition, an ey e wash facility should be
provided.
Environmental Protection
It is illegal to pour used oil on the ground, down sewers or
drains, or into water courses. The burning of used engine oil
in small space heaters or boilers is not recommended unless
emission control equipment is in stalled; in case of doubt,
contact the Local Authority for ad vice on disposal facilities.

Leaks
Faults associated with low refrigerant charge weight and low pressure may be caused by leakage. Leaks traced to
mechanical connections may be caused by torque relaxation or joint face contamination. Evidence of oil around such
areas is an indicator of leakage.
Leak Detection
Fluorescent Tracer Dye - A fluorescent tracer dye is incorporated into th e refrigeration system and can be checked for
non-apparent leaks by scanning with a high intensity ultraviolet lamp. The location of leaks can be pinpointed by the bright
yellow glow of the tracer dye.
Automatic Refrigerant Leak Detector - (various manufacturers) Hand-held, portable, battery operated leak detector.
Place in and around A/C system to detect refrigerant leaks.
System Pressure Fault Classification
This table should be used in conjunction with the graphical representations of 'High side' pressure / ambient temperature
and 'Low side' pressure / evaporator temperature. Caution
Observe ALL safety precautions associ ated with ultraviolet equipment.
If erratic or unusual gauge movements occur, check the equipment against known Recovery / Recycling / Recharging unit
gauges.
