IF A CYLINDER IS TURNED UP-SIDE-DOWN, THE TX600 WILL
OVERFILL WITH LIQUID REFRIGERANT. THIS OVER FILLS
THE SUCTION ACCUMULATOR WITH LIQUID.
FROST ON THE OIL DRAIN OR SUCTION ACCUMULATOR OF
THE TX600 IS A GOOD INDICATION OF THIS OCCURRENCE.
THIS SYMPTOM IS CAUSE FOR CONCERN AS LIQUID
REFRIGERANT WILL BE FORCED INTO THE COMPRESSOR.
THIS CAN DESTROY THE COMPRESSOR AND WILL VOID THE WARRANTY.
The safest method to remove the excess liquid which has collected in the Suction Accumulator is
to drain it from the Oil Drain on the front of the TX600 as follows:
Draw a deep vacuum (25 to 29 In. Hg.) on an empty cylinder and connect it to the Oil Drain
Valve. Open the cylinder valve and the Oil Drain valve.
Close the valves and disconnect the cylinder after the liquid has been drawn into the cylinder.
This refrigerant should now be recycled by the TX600 following normal recycling procedures.
