Introduction
The 34700Z model is used on R-134a vehicles; the 17700Z model is used on R-12 vehicles. Both
models are designed to be compatible with existing service equipment and standard service procedures.
Both models are UL-listed, single-pass systems that meet SAE specifications for recycled refrigerant.
Follow the SAE-J2210 recommended service procedure for the containment of R-134a; follow the
SAE-J1991 recommended service procedure for the containment of R-12.
The unit includes a 6 cfm (142 l/m) Robinair high vacuum pump for fast thorough evacuation. The
recovery compressor is not a vacuum pump. The compressor pulls the A/C system to a partial vacuum
only; use the unit’s vacuum cycle to remove moisture from the A/C system. (We recommend a
minimum 15-minute vacuum, or follow the vehicle manufacturer’s recommendation.)
Note : R-134a systems require special oils. Refer to the A/C system manufacturer’s service manual for
oil specifications.
Digital Display – the visual
interface between the operator
and the machine.
Main Power Switch –

power to the unit.
High-Side Manifold Gauge –
connects to vehicle A/C system and
shows system’s high-side pressure.
Low-Side Manifold Gauge –
connects to vehicle A/C
system and shows system’s
low-side pressure.
High-Side Flow Indicator – an illuminated
red light indicates high-side flow from the
vehicle A/C system through the unit.
Low-Side Flow Indicator –
an illuminated blue light
indicates low-side flow from
the vehicle A/C system
through the unit.
