ALLOW ONLY QUALIFIED PERSONNEL TO OPERATE THE UNIT. Before operating the unit, read and follow
the instructions and warnings in this manual. The operator must be familiar with air conditioning and refrigeration
systems, refrigerants, and the dangers of pressurized components. If the operator cannot read this manual,
operating instructions and safety precautions must be read and discussed in the operator’s native language.
PRESSURIZED TANK CONTAINS LIQUID REFRIGERANT. Do not overfill the internal storage vessel, because
overfilling may cause explosion and personal injury or death. Do not recover refrigerants into nonrefillable
containers; use only federally authorized refillable containers (DOT spec. 4BW or 4BA).
HOSES MAY CONTAIN LIQUID REFRIGERANT UNDER PRESSURE. Contact with refrigerant may cause per-
sonal injury. Wear protective equipment, including safety goggles. Disconnect hoses using extreme caution.
DO NOT BREATHE REFRIGERANT AND LUBRICANT VAPOR OR MIST. Exposure may cause personal
injury, especially to the eyes, nose, throat, and lungs. Use the unit in locations with mechanical ventilation that
provides at least four air changes per hour, or position the unit 18 inches above the floor. If accidental system
discharge occurs, ventilate the work area before resuming service.
DO NOT USE AN EXTENSION CORD. An extension cord may overheat and cause fire. If you must use an
extension cord, use the shortest possible cord with a minimum size of 14 AWG.
TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE, do not use the unit in the vicinity of spilled or open containers of gasoline
or other flammable substances.
DO NOT USE COMPRESSED AIR TO PRESSURE TEST OR LEAK TEST THE UNIT OR HVAC/R SYSTEM.
Some mixtures of air and refrigerant are combustible at elevated pressures. These mixtures are potentially
dangerous and may result in fire or explosion causing personal injury or property damage.
USE THIS UNIT WITH ONLY THE FOLLOWING REFRIGERANTS: R-12, R-22, R-134a, R-401A, R-401B,
R-402A, R-402B, R-404A, R-407A, R-407B, R-407C, R-408A, R-409A, R-410A, R-500, R-502, R-507. The
unit is designed to only recover refrigerant. Do not attempt to adapt the unit for refrigerant that is not in this
list. Do not mix refrigerant types through a system or in the same container; mixing of refrigerants will cause
severe damage to the unit and the air conditioning system.
HIGH VOLTAGE ELECTRICITY INSIDE THE UNIT HAS A RISK OF ELECTRICAL SHOCK. Exposure may
cause personal injury. Disconnect the power before servicing the unit.
ADDITIONAL HEALTH AND SAFETY INFORMATION MAY BE OBTAINED FROM THE REFRIGERANT
AND LUBRICANT MANUFACTURERS.
This equipment has been certified by ARI to meet the EPA minimum requirements for recovery equipment
intended for use with all HCFC applicances and other high pressure applicances.
