PRECAUTION

1.

DO NOT HANDLE REFRIGERANT IN AN ENCLOSED
AREA OR NEAR AN OPEN FLAME

2.

ALWAYS WEAR EYE PROTECTION

3.

BE CAREFUL NOT TO GET LIQUID REFRIGERANT IN
YOUR EYES OR ON YOUR SKIN

If liquid refrigerant gets in your eyes or on your skin.
(a)

Wash the area with lots of cool water.

CAUTION:
Do not rub your eyes or skin.
(b)

Apply clean petroleum jelly to the skin.

(c)

Go immediately to a physician or hospital for professional
treatment.

4.

NEVER HEAT CONTAINER OR EXPOSE IT TO NAKED
FLAME

5.

BE CAREFUL NOT TO DROP CONTAINER AND NOT
TO APPL PHYSICAL SHOCKS TO IT

6.

DO NOT OPERATE COMPRESSOR WITHOUT
ENOUGH REFRIGERANT IN REFRIGERANT SYSTEM

If there is not enough refrigerant in the refrigerant system oil lu-
brication will be insufficient and compressor burnout may occur,
so that take care to avoid this, necessary care should be taken.
7.

DO NOT OPEN HIGH PRESSURE MANIFOLD VALVE
WHILE COMPRESSOR IS OPERATING

If the high pressure valve is opened, refrigerant flows in the re-
verse direction and could cause the charging cylinder to rup-
ture, so open and close the only low pressure valve.
8.

BE CAREFUL NOT TO OVERCHARGE SYSTEM WITH
REFRIGERANT

If refrigerant is overcharged, it causes problems such as insuffi-
cient cooling, poor fuel economy, engine overheating etc.

SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINT SYSTEM (SRS)

The Lexus ES300 is equipped an SRS (Supplemental Restraint
System) such as the driver and passenger air bag. Failure to
carry out service operations the correct sequence could cause
the SRS to unexpectedly deployed during servicing, possibly
leading to a serious accident. Further, if a mistake is made in
servicing the SRS, it is possible the SRS may fail to operate
when required. Before servicing (including removal or installa-
tion of parts, inspection or replacement), be sure to read the fol-
lowing item carefully, then follow the correct procedure de-
scribed in the repair manual.
