SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
! Recover, Recycle, and Charge only
the refrigerant for which this machine
is configured.
! Wear safety glasses and protective
gloves. Refrigerant has a very low
boiling point and can cause frostbite.
! Follow operation procedures
sequentially to avoid prematurely
disconnecting hoses or opening
valves which may release refrigerant
to the atmosphere.
! Do not expose the machine to
moisture or operate in wet areas.
! Use the machine in locations with
mechanical ventilation that provides at
least four air changes per hour.
! Hoses have shutoff devices within 30
mm of the connection point to the
system being serviced to minimize the
introduction of Non-condensable Gas
(Air) into the machine and the release
o f r e f r i g e r a n t w h e n b e i n g
disconnected.
! Disconnect machine from power
before performing any maintenance or
service.
! Avoid using an extension cord. If
necessary, use a good condition, 3-
wire grounded, 2.5 mm
2 extension
cord of the shortest possible length.
! Connect the machine to a properly
protected, grounded receptacle. Do
not over load the circuit.
! Do not allow the machine to remain
unattended in the Charge Mode with
power On. The Internal Cylinder
Heater will be energized creating a
high pressure condition.
