SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
! Recover, Recycle, and Charge only the refrigerants for which the machine is configured.
! Wear safety glasses and protective gloves. Refrigerant has a very low boiling point and can cause
frostbite.
! Follow the TC2670 operating procedures sequentially to avoid prematurely disconnecting hoses or
opening valves which may release refrigerant to the atmosphere.
! Do not expose the TC2670 to moisture or operate in wet areas.
! Use the TC2670 in locations with mechanical ventilation that provides at least four air changes per
hour.
! Hoses used with the TC2670 must have shutoff devices within 12 inches of the connection point to
the system being serviced to minimize the introduction of Non-condensable Gas (Air) into the TC2670
and the release of refrigerant when being disconnected.
! Disconnect power before performing any maintenance or service on the TC2670.
! Avoid using an extension cord with the TC2670. If necessary, use a good condition, UL listed, 3-
wire grounded, #14 AWG, or larger, extension cord of the shortest possible length.
! Connect the TC2670 to a properly grounded receptacle. Do not over load the circuit.
! Do not allow the TC2670 to remain unattended in the Charge Mode with power On. The Charge
Cylinder Heater will be energized creating a high pressure condition.
NEVER TURN THE CYLINDER UP-SIDE-DOWN.
DO NOT CONNECT THE TC2670 TO THE LIQUID SIDE OF ANY A/C
SYSTEM WITH A CAPACITY GREATER THAN 4 LBS.
REFRIGERANT IN A/C SYSTEMS HAVING LARGER CAPACITIES
MUST BE RECOVERED FROM THE VAPOR SIDE ONLY.
NEVER CONNECT THE TC2670 TO THE LIQUID PORT OF A
CYLINDER OF REFRIGERANT TO FILL THE TC2670 CHARGE CYLINDER.
FAILURE TO FOLLOW THE ABOVE MAY CAUSE THE TC2670 COMPRESSOR TO FAIL
AND VOID THE WARRANTY.
