Initial Setup

Operating Guidelines

Connect a 1/4 in. external air fitting (not included) to the air inlet located on
the unit’s rear panel.

Setup

Before operating this unit, read and follow the instructions and warnings
in this manual. Verify all safety devices are functioning correctly before
beginning a procedure.

Required: One gallon of solvent is needed for the flushing procedure.

Use only Robinair 17565 Power Flush Solvent. Other solvents may not be
effective, may be hazardous, and may damage the equipment and void the
warranty. Also, an adapter fitting kit may be necessary for connecting to some
flusher service couplers. See ACCESSORIES.

Fill to Mark: Do not overfill the flushing tank. Fill to only the full mark on

the solvent level indicator.

Solvent Reuse: Follow solvent manufacturer’s suggestions regarding the

number of times solvent may be used before replacement. The flusher will
perform its functions even if the solvent is too diluted to remove contaminants
from the A/C system. See REPLACEMENT PARTS.

Filter Replacement: The flusher is equipped with a replaceable particle

filter to clean the solvent during the flush operation. The particle filter is a
non-bypass filter and must be replaced every time fresh solvent is installed in
the flusher. See REPLACEMENT PARTS.

Activated Carbon Filter: This unit contains an activated carbon filter that

limits emissions and odors during the flushing and purging operations. The
filter element can be replaced if odors become noticeably stronger during
operation of the unit. See REPLACEMENT PARTS.
