Introduction
General Description
The AC375C recovers, recycles, and recharges vehicle refrigerant in one
hookup. It is compatible with existing service equipment and standard service
procedures.
The AC375C may be configured to recover, recycle, and recharge either
R-134a or R-12 refrigerant. Once configured to R-12 or R-134a, the unit
should be used only with the refrigerant for which it was initially
configured.
The AC375C is equipped with a power receptacle; the user provides the
power cord, depending on the electrical power connection in the region where
the unit is being used.
Throughout this manual metric measurements are used with U.S. equivalents
in parentheses.
