CAUTION  
Risk of freezing injury caused by escaping pressurised refrig‐  
erant.  
There is a risk of injury to the skin and parts of the body due to  
freezing.  
– Wear protective gloves.  
– Wear protective goggles.  
– If, when detaching the pressure sender, refrigerant escapes  
from the refrigerant line for longer than 1 second, tighten the  
pressure sender and renew the non-return valve that is de‐  
fective.  
– Extract refrigerant and open the refrigerant circuit immedi‐  
ately afterwards.  
– If more than 10 minutes have passed since the refrigerant  
was extracted, repeat the extraction process before opening  
the refrigerant circuit. Pressure could build up in the refrig‐  
erant circuit from continued evaporation.  
– Counterhold refrigerant line using a suitable tool.  
CAUTION  
Risk of freezing injury caused by escaping pressurised refrig‐  
erant. If handled incorrectly, union could break off and refriger‐  
ant could escape.  
There is a risk of injury to the skin and parts of the body due to  
freezing.  
– Wear protective gloves.  
– Wear protective goggles.  
– Counterhold refrigerant lines using a suitable tool.  
– For any further work, immediately seal open lines and con‐  
nections with clean plugs from engine bung set - VAS 6122- .  
– While doing so, detach pressure sender for refrigerant circuit  
- G805- -1- using socket, 24 mm - T40284- .  
Installing  
Install in reverse order of removal, observing the following:  
– Renew seal for pressure sender for refrigerant circuit - G805-  
-1-.
