[    ]  4.  Check all the hose clamps for tightness.     
 
[    ]  5.  Check the neatness of the installation, sufficient service access, secure wiring, 
             and make sure tubing and hoses are supported to prevent damage and chafing. 
 
[    ]  6.  Check the service access.   The service access ports must allow  
             attachment of the connecting service valves. 
 
[    ]  7.  Check (after leak checking and testing) that the tubing is properly insulated.  
              
 
 
REFRIGERANT HANDLING AND SAFETY 
 
Do not
 proceed if you do not fully understand the procedure and know what results to 
expect.  Understand that pressure exists in refrigeration systems.  Be careful. 
 
DISCLAIMER 
 
The gauges, adapters, hoses and tools described in this manual are available from Sea 
Frost.  We are not familiar with all equipment and cannot be sure we are covering 
procedures that can be preformed without the same equipment.  Be certain you 
understand what you are doing and how each valve, check valve, can tap, adapter, and 
gauge set works before connecting to a charged system or a refrigerant supply. 
 
REFRIGERANT 
 
The SEA FROST DC 5000 is charged with REFRIGERANT 134a.  R-134a is a chemical 
compound called tetrafloroethane.  It is odorless.  Its boiling point is -15. degrees F. at 
sea level.  It is heavier than air.  It's label and container color is light blue.  R-134a is 
used in auto air conditioning systems and should be available in auto parts stores. 
 
GENERAL SAFETY   THIS IS IMPORTANT.   READ THIS! 
 
R-134a is safe if handled properly.  Avoid breathing vapors and prolonged skin 
exposure.  Avoid using in areas of open flames.  The vapor is heavier than air and may 
reduce oxygen available for breathing. Use with sufficient ventilation to keep exposure 
below recommended limits.  Do not mix with air for leak testing or use with air for 
any purpose above atmospheric pressure.
  Liquid R-134a will freeze skin.  It's 
especially dangerous to the irreparable tissues of the eyes. 
 
    --WEAR EYE PROTECTION-- 
Do not pressurize an empty system with R-134a without first evacuating the 
system with a vacuum pump.
