CAB AIR CONDITIONING SYSTEM
This section of the Manual describes the operation
and use of the Supercomfort cab, which is fitted with
an air conditioning system.
This system, in addition to ensuring optimum
temperatures inside the cab, reduces the air
humidity, which might otherwise be a nuisance to the
operator, compromising tractor handling safety.
The cab is also fitted with windows, which reduce the
effects of the sun beams inside the cab -- something
which, in hot weather, creates particularly
unpleasant conditions for the operator.
SAFETY RULES
The air conditioning system is safe and can be used
continuously without any risk. However, it is important
to observe a few simple precautions, listed below , to
avoid any risk of accident.
• We recommend that you should never personally
attempt to adjust the system; any work should
instead be carried out by the highly experienced
Company service network.
• Never allow naked flames near the air
conditioning system. If the refrigerant is leaking,
a lethal gas --phosgene-- could be produced.

• The oil and refrigerant mixture is pressurised
inside the air conditioning system. The loosening
of any connections or handling of tubing is
therefore strictly forbidden. For the same reason,
never unscrew the compressor oil level
inspection cap for any reason.

• The refrigerant can freeze the skin and
especially the eyes, and also cause permanent
serious injuries.
If an accident should occur, proceed as follows:
-- if refrigerant splashes into the eyes, wash
immediately with a few drops of mineral oil, then
continue to wash thoroughly with a solution of
boric acid and water (one teaspoon of acid in
1
/
4
of a cup of water) and consult a doctor
immediately;
-- the freezing caused by the refrigerant can be
treated by gradually unfreezing the damaged
area with cold water and then apply an oily
cream.
Consult a doctor promptly.
• Do not let the air conditioning system approach
any heat source too closely in order to prevent
any risk of explosion.
