RECLAMATION - Safety Guidelines 1. Only fill cylinders which are currently DOT approved for fluorocarbon refrigerants. Always inspect the 1. cylinder for pressure rating and latest hydrostatic test date. DO NOT FILL A CYLINDER THAT DOES 1. NOT HAVE A CURRENT HYDROSTATIC TEST DATE. Be sure to thoroughly check each cylinder 1. and drum for dents, gouges, bulges, cuts or other imperfections which may render it unsafe to hold 1. refrigerant for storage or transportation. 2. It is highly recommended to read the Air-Conditioning and Refrigeration Institute "Guideline 1. K-Guideline for Containers for Recovered Fluorocarbon Refrigerants." 3. Be sure all connections are made tight before transferring refrigerant into containers. Be sure all 1. closures are made tight on the container immediately after filling. Be sure to replace valve outlet caps 1. on cylinders. 4. Always use a scale when filling any cylinder. DO NOT OVERFILL. 5. CAUTION: Liquid refrigerant can cause frostbite if skin contact occurs. Be aware that the 1. refrigerant/oil being removed from a system may contain contaminants which may be harmful to 1. breath or contact with the skin. Always provide fresh air when working in enclosed areas. Avoid 1. breathing vapors. Always wear safety glasses and gloves (cold resistant for pressurized refrigerants 1. and rubber-type for R-11, R-113 or R123). Avoid contact with clothing.
