2007 Lexus GX470 Service & Repair Manual Software

2007 HVAC Air Conditioning - GX 470 AIR CONDITIONING SYSTEM PRECAUTION 1. DO NOT HANDLE REFRIGERANT IN AN ENCLOSED AREA OR NEAR AN OPEN FLAME. 2. ALWAYS WEAR EYE PROTECTION Fig. 1: Identifying Precautions For Wearing Eye Protection Courtesy of TOYOTA MOTOR SALES, U.S.A., INC. 3. BE CAREFUL NOT TO GET LIQUID REFRIGERANT IN YOUR EYES OR ON YOUR SKIN Fig. 2: Identifying Precautions For Getting Liquid Refrigerant In Your Eyes Or On Your Skin Courtesy of TOYOTA MOTOR SALES, U.S.A., INC. If liquid refrigerant gets in your eyes or on your skin: a. Wash the area with lots of cold water. NOTE: Because the compressor operates at high voltages, wear electric insulated gloves and pull out the service plug to cut the high-voltage circuit before inspection. CAUTION: Do not rub your eyes or skin. 2007 Lexus GX 470 2007 HVAC Air Conditioning - GX 470

b. Apply clean petroleum jelly to the skin. c. Go immediately to a hospital or see a physician for professional treatment. 4. NEVER HEAT CONTAINER OR EXPOSE IT TO OPEN FLAME 5. BE CAREFUL NOT TO DROP CONTAINER OR APPLY PHYSICAL SHOCKS TO IT 6. DO NOT OPERATE COMPRESSOR WITHOUT ENOUGH REFRIGERANT IN REFRIGERANT SYSTEM If there is not enough refrigerant in the A/C system, oil lubrication will be insufficient and the compressor may be damaged. Necessary care should be taken to avoid this. 7. DO NOT OPEN HIGH PRESSURE MANIFOLD VALVE WHILE COMPRESSOR IS OPERATING Open and close only the low pressure valve. If the high pressure values are opened, refrigerant flows in the reverse direction causing the charging cylinder to rupture. If the high pressure valve is opened, refrigerant flows in the reverse direction causing the charging cylinder to rupture.

BE CAREFUL NOT TO OVERCHARGE SYSTEM WITH REFRIGERANT If refrigerant is overcharged, it causes problems such as insufficient cooling, poor fuel economy, engine overheating, etc. 9. GENERAL PRECAUTION a. While using the battery during inspection, do not bring the positive and negative tester probes too close to each other as a short circuit may occur.
