Vehicle Damage Warnings

CAUTION:
- The refrigerant identifier must be used before the system is evacuated, otherwise the service station may become contaminated. Contaminated refrigerant must be disposed of as special waste. The manufacturer's instructions must be followed when dealing with the service station.
- The A/C refrigerant Analyzer must be used before recovering, otherwise the refrigerant of the refrigerant center may contaminate. All contaminated A/C refrigerant must be disposed of as hazardous waste. For all equipment, follow the equipment manufacturers instructions.
- Suction accumulator, muffler, hoses, thermal expansion valve, and fixed orifice tube should be removed when flushing the A/C system. Internal plumbing of these devices makes it impossible to properly remove any residual flushing agent. Except for the hoses, these components are typically discarded after A/C system contamination. Hoses can normally be reused unless they are clogged with debris. The Ford A/C Flushing Solvent and filter used in A/C Flusher are intended for use on one vehicle only. They may be used to flush both the A/C condenser core and the A/C evaporator core on an individual vehicle, but under no circumstances should they be used on more than one vehicle.
- The air conditioning system must be evacuated for about 30 minutes before recharging it, to ensure that it operates correctly.
- If moisture was able to enter an open system over an extended period (several hours), install a new accumulator/dehydrator and increase the evacuation time to 2-3 hours.
- Only gaseous charging of the air conditioning system is done through the low-pressure connection.
- Follow all refrigerant system safety precautions.
