PRESSURIZED TANK CONTAINS LIQUID REFRIGERANT. Do not overfill the internal storage vessel because
overfilling may cause explosion and serious personal injury or death. Do not recover or charge refrigerants into
non-refillable containers; use only federally authorized refillable containers.
ALL HOSES MAY CONTAIN LIQUID REFRIGERANT UNDER PRESSURE. Contact with refrigerant may cause
personal injury. Wear correct protective equipment, including safety goggles. Disconnect hoses with extreme
caution.
HIGH VOLTAGE ELECTRICITY INSIDE THE UNIT HAS A RISK OF ELECTRICAL SHOCK. Exposure may
cause personal injury. Refer to the instruction manual for correct procedure when disconnecting the power.
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. An extension cord may overheat and cause fire. If an extension cord is needed, use
the shortest possible cord with a minimum size of No. 14 AWG.
DO NOT BREATHE REFRIGERANT. Exposure may cause personal injury, especially to the eyes, nose, throat,
and lungs. Use this equipment in locations with mechanical ventilation that provides at least four air changes per
hour or locate the equipment at least 18 inches above the floor. To remove HFC-134a from the A/C system, use
service equipment certified to meet the requirements of SAE J2210 (HFC-134a recycling equipment). If accidental
system discharge occurs, ventilate the work area before resuming service.
USE THE UNIT WITH ONLY R-134a REFRIGERANT. The unit is for recovering, recycling, and recharging only
R-134a refrigerant! Do not attempt to adapt the unit for another refrigerant. 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 vehicle air
conditioning system.
DO NOT USE COMPRESSED AIR TO PRESSURE TEST OR LEAK TEST THE UNIT OR VEHICLE AIR
CONDITIONING SYSTEM. Some mixtures of air and R-134a refrigerant are combustible at elevated pressures.
These mixtures are potentially dangerous and may result in fire or explosion causing personal injury or property
damage.
Additional health and safety information may be obtained from refrigerant and lubricant manufacturers.
