mixtures of air and R134a have been shown to be combustible at elevated pressures. These mixtures, if ignited, may cause injury or
property damage. Additional health and safety information may be obtained from refrigerant manufacturers.
ATTENTION: Technicians using this equipment must be certified under EPA Section 609 (Environmental Protection Agency).
WARNING: There is the possibility of refrigerant contamination in the refrigerant container or the mobile A/C system being serviced or
refrigerant container. Before recycling use proper equipment such as a refrigerant identifier, if necessary.
NOTE: Use only new refrigerant oil to replace the amount removed during the recycling process. Used oil should be discarded per
applicable federal, state, and local requirements.
The manufacturer shall not be responsible for any additional costs associated with a product failure including, but not limited to, loss of
work time, loss of refrigerant, cross contamination of refrigerant, and unauthorized shipping and/or labor charges.
IMPORTANT: R134a systems have special fittings (per SAE specifications) to avoid cross-contamination with R12 systems. DO NOT adapt
your unit for a different refrigerant — system failure will result.
PERIODICALLY INSPECT AND MAINTAIN REFRIGERANT HOSES AND SEALS TO ENSURE THAT HOSES AND SEALS PREVENT THE ADDITION OF
EXCESS AIR, DUE TO LEAKS, DURING THE RECOVERY PROCESS, WHICH WOULD INCREASE THE NCG LEVEL IN THE RECOVERED REFRIGERANT.
CERTIFICATION
All technicians opening the refrigeration circuit in automotive air conditioning systems must now be certified in refrigerant recovery and recycling
procedures to be in compliance with Section 609 of the Clean Air Act Amendments of 1990. For information on certification call MACS Worldwide at
