SAFETY PRECAUTIONS ON SERVICING

WARNING: Any person who is involved with working on or breaking into a refrigerant circuit should hold a current valid certificate from an industry-accredited assessment authority, which authorizes their competence to handle refrigerants safely by an industry-recognized assessment specification.

WARNING: Servicing shall only be performed as recommended by the equipment manufacturer. Maintenance and repair requiring the assistance of other skilled personnel shall be carried out under the supervision of the person competent in the use of flammable refrigerants.

WARNING: If you don’t understand something or need help, please contact Sealey.

CHECKS TO THE AREA
Before beginning working on systems containing flammable refrigerants, safety checks are necessary to ensure that the risk of ignition is minimized. For repair to the refrigerating system, the following precautions shall be complied with before conducting work on the system.

WORK PROCEDURE
Work shall be undertaken under a controlled procedure to minimize the risk of flammable gas or vapor being present while the work is being performed.

GENERAL WORK AREA
All maintenance staff and others working in the local area shall be instructed on the nature of wthe work being carried out. Work in confined spaces shall be avoided. The area around the workspace shall be sectioned off. Ensure that the conditions within the area have been made safe by control of flammable material.

CHECKING FOR THE PRESENCE OF REFRIGERANT
The area shall be checked with an appropriate refrigerant detector before and during work, to ensure the technician is aware of potentially flammable atmospheres. Ensure that the leak detection equipment being used is suitable for use with flammable
refrigerants, i.e. no sparking, adequately sealed, or intrinsically safe.

PRESENCE OF FIRE EXTINGUISHER
If any hot work is to be conducted on the refrigeration equipment or any associated parts, appropriate fire extinguishing equipment shall be available to hand. Have a dry powder or CO2 fire extinguisher adjacent to the charging area.

NO IGNITION SOURCES
No person carrying out work about a refrigeration system that involves exposing any pipe work that contains or has contained flammable refrigerant shall use any sources of ignition in such a manner that it may lead to the risk of fire or explosion. All possible ignition sources, including cigarette smoking, should be kept sufficiently far away from the site of installation, repair, removal, and disposal, during which flammable refrigerant can be released into the surrounding space. Before work takes place, the area around the equipment is to be surveyed to make sure that there are no flammable hazards or ignition risks. “No Smoking” signs shall be displayed.

VENTILATED AREA
Ensure that the area is in the open or that it is adequately ventilated before breaking into the system or conducting any hot work. A degree of ventilation shall continue during the period that the work is carried out. The ventilation should safely disperse any released refrigerant and preferably expel it externally into the atmosphere.

CHECKS TO THE REFRIGERATION EQUIPMENT
Where electrical components are being changed, they shall be fit for the purpose and to the correct specification. At all times the 1.3.7. VENTILATED AREA Ensure that the area is in the open or that it is adequately ventilated before breaking into the system or conducting any hot work. A degree of ventilation shall continue during the period that the work is carried out. The ventilation should safely disperse any released refrigerant and preferably expel it externally into the atmosphere.

CHECKS TO THE REFRIGERATION EQUIPMENT
Where electrical components are being changed, they shall be fit for the purpose and to the correct specification. At all times the manufacturer’s maintenance and service guidelines shall be followed. If in doubt consult the manufacturer’s technical department for assistance.

The following checks shall be applied to installations using flammable refrigerants:

The charge size is the room size within which the refrigerant-containing parts are installed.
The ventilation machinery and outlets are operating adequately and are not obstructed.

If an indirect refrigerating circuit is being used, the secondary circuit shall be checked for the presence of refrigerant.
Marking the equipment continues to be visible and legible. Markings and signs that are illegible shall be corrected.
Refrigeration pipes or components are installed in a position where they are unlikely to be exposed to any substance which may corroderefrigerant-containingg components unless the components are constructed of materials that are inherently resistant to being corroded or are suitably protected against being so corroded.

CHECKS TO ELECTRICAL DEVICES
Repair and maintenance of electrical components shall include initial safety checks and component inspection procedures. If a fault exists that could compromise safety, then no electrical supply shall be connected to the circuit until it is satisfactorily dealt with. If the fault cannot be corrected immediately but it is necessary to continue operation, an adequate temporary solution shall be used. This shall be reported to the owner of the equipment so all parties are advised.

Initial safety checks shall include

Those capacitors are discharged: this shall be done safely to avoid the possibility of sparking.

That no live electrical components and wiring are exposed while charging, recovering, or purging the system.
That there is continuity of earth bonding.

MAINTENANCE

WARNING! Switch the machine off and unplug from the mains before carrying out any maintenance or cleaning.

FILTER CLEANING

It is recommended that the air filter is cleaned every two weeks maximum.
To remove the filter, remove the air tank and gently pull down the exposed tab of the filter.
The filter may only be washed with water.

DO NOT use hot water. Leave to dry naturally.
DO NOT use solvent cleaners nor use heat to dry the filter.

Once dry, replace the filter by snapping it back into place, making sure that the lower edge fits behind the casing locations and that all the lugs are sprung gently into place thus holding the filter up inside the casing.

CLEANING THE CASING
The casing may be cleaned by rubbing over with a damp cloth.

DO NOT use detergents, abrasive, or solvent cleaners as these will damage the surface finish.
DO NOT allow the control panel to become wet.
