GENERAL INFORMATION55200010121
The heater system uses a two-way-flow full-air-mix
system that features high performance and low
operating noise, and includes an independent face
air blowing function and a cool air bypass function.The A/C system is basically the same as the
conventional system, but a new refrigerant system
has been adopted as a response to restrictions
on the use of chlorofluorocarbons.

Refrigerant and quantity gR-134a (HFC-134a), Approx. 550 ± 600
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
Because R-134a refrigerant is a hydrofluorocarbon
(HFC) which contains hydrogen atoms in place of
chlorine atoms, it will not cause damage to the
ozone layer.
Refrigerant R-134a is transparent and colourless
in both the liquid and vapour state. Since it has
a boiling point of ± 29.8
C, at atmospheric pressure,
it will be a vapour at all normal temperatures and
pressures. The vapour is heavier than air,
non-flammable, and nonexplosive. The following
precautions must be observed when handling
R-134a.Caution
Wear safety goggles when servicing the
refrigeration system.
R-134a evaporates so rapidly at normal
atmospheric pressures and temperatures that it
tends to freeze anything it contacts. For this reason,
extreme care must be taken to prevent any liquid
refrigerant from contacting the skin and especially
the eyes. Always wear safety goggles when
servicing the refrigeration part of the A/C system.
Keep a bottle of sterile mineral oil handy when
working on the refrigeration system. Should any
liquid refrigerant get into the eyes, use a few drops
of mineral oil to wash them out. R-134a is rapidly
absorbed by the oil. Next splash the eyes with
plenty of cold water. Call your doctor immediately
even though irritation has ceased after treatment.

AND VENTILATION ±55-4
Caution
Do not heat R-134a above 40
C
In most instances, moderate heat is required to
bring the pressure of the refrigerant in its container
above the pressure of the system when charging
or adding refrigerant.
A bucket or large pan of hot water not over 40
C
is all the heat required for this purpose. Do not
heat the refrigerant container with a blow torch
or any other means that would raise temperature
and pressure above this temperature. Do not weld
or steam clean on or near the system components
or refrigerant lines.
Caution
Keep R-134a containers upright when charging
the system.When metering R-134a into the refrigeration system
keep the supply tank or cans in an upright position.
If the refrigerant container is on its side or upside
down, liquid refrigerant will enter the system and
damage the compressor.
Caution
1. The leak detector for R-134a should be used
to check for refrigerant gas leaks.
2. Do not allow liquid refrigerant to touch bright
metal.
Refrigerant will tarnish bright metal and chrome
surfaces, and in combination with moisture can
severely corrode all metal surfaces.
