CAUTION  
Risk of explosion from overfilling refrigeranreservoirs.  
Refrigerancan expand and cause reservoirs to bursif they are  
overfilled.  
– Use a refrigerantank with safety valve.  
– Never exceed the permissible fill level of the refrigerantank.  
Note  
Depending on the version of air conditioner service station and  
the measures to be performed, there is a minimum volume of re‐  
frigerant, refrigeranoil and UV leak detection additive thamus 
be in the respective supply tank of the air conditioner service sta‐  
tion ⇒ Operating instructions air conditioner service station

Emptying air conditioner service station  
Note  
If iis necessary to discharge the air conditioner service station  
lk  
(e.g. because contaminated refrigeranwas extracted), all fil‐  
ters and dryers musbe renewed (do noremove filter and  
dryer from the air-tightransporpackage until immediately  
before installation to keep absorption of moisture as low as  
possible).  
If iis necessary to empty the air conditioner service station  
(e.g. because certain measures have to be performed on the  
air conditioner service station and the refrigeranthahas been  
or is to be extracted from the air conditioner service station  
complies with the specifications (is nocontaminated), ican  
be filled into a recycling cylinder, if necessary, and then reused

or “R cylinders”.  
Always evacuate recycling cylinders before the firsfilling (re‐

Flushing air conditioner compressor  
Note  
On an electrical air conditioning compressor, the refrigeranoil  
cannobe poured ou(as there is no oil drain plug), i.e. the  
design makes no allowance for the drainage of oil  
With an electrical air conditioning compressor, the refrigeran 
oil is to be removed in the direction of flow by flushing (flushing  
in the opposite direction of flow is nopossible due to the in‐  
tegrated valves).  
The air conditioner compressor musbe positioned for flushing  
so thathe connection for the refrigeranline on the high pres‐  
sure side is athe lowespoinpossible.
