Operating Tips

Replacing the Filter-Drier
The filter-drier on this unit is designed to trap acid and
particulates, and to remove water from refrigerant.
Change the filter-drier after every 150 lbs. (68 kg) of
refrigerant has been recycled to ensure adequate
moisture and contaminant removal. (The unit will
prompt the user to change the filter-drier after 150 lbs.
of refrigerant has been recycled.)
