Robinair 178012K Recovery, Recycling, Recharging Unit - Manual (Page 2)

WARNING
PRESSURIZED TANK CONTAINS LIQUID REFRIGERANT. OVERFILLING OF THE TANK MAY CAUSE VIOLENT
EXPLOSION AND POSSIBLE INJURY OR DEATH. Safety devices require the use of only authorized refillable refrigerant
tanks. This includes Robinair part numbers 17506 and 34750 (50-lb. tanks). Do not recover refrigerants into a non-refillable
storage container! Federal regulations require refrigerant to be transported only in containers meeting DOT spec. 4BW or
DOT spec. 4BA.
ALL HOSES MAY CONTAIN LIQUID REFRIGERANT UNDER PRESSURE. Contact with refrigerant may cause injury.
Wear proper protective equipment, including safety goggles. Disconnect hoses with extreme caution.
HIGH VOLTAGE ELECTRICITY INSIDE PANELS. RISK OF ELECTRICAL SHOCK. Disconnect power before servicing
unit. Refer to the instruction manual.
TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE
,
avoid the use of an extension cord because the
extension cord may overheat. However, if you must use an extension cord, the cord shall be No. 14 AWG minimum and
keep the cord as short as possible. Do not use this equipment in the vicinity of spilled or open containers of gasoline or
other flammable substances.
For use in non-hazardous locations. Disconnect power before servicing.
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.
Make certain that all safety devices are functioning properly before operating the unit. Before operating, read and follow the
instructions and warnings in the operating manual.
CAUTION: SHOULD BE OPERATED BY QUALIFIED PERSONNEL. Operator must be familiar with air conditioning and
refrigeration systems, refrigerants and the dangers of pressurized components.
This equipment is not designed for any other purpose than recovering or recycling refrigerants!
Do not mix refrigerant types!
ATTENTION!
Ce réservoir sous pression contient du frigorigène liquide. S’il est surchargé, ce réservoir peut exploser et causer des
blessures ou la mort.
A utiliser dons des endroits non dangereux. Débrancher la prise de courant avant l’entretien.
ATTENTION. Débrancher avant la maintenance.
ATTENTION. Pour réduire les risques d’incendie, ne pas utiliser de cordon prolongateur de section inférieure à 14 AWG de
facon à éviter la surchauffe du cordon.
ATTENTION. Utiliser seulement du frigorigène R-12, R-134a, R-22, R-500 et R-502.
OPERATING NOTES
Drain the System Oil Separator at the end of each recovery. The display will indicate when a filter-drier and compressor oil
change are required except if you are recovering from a burn-out system. Then the filter-drier and compressor oil should
be changed at the completion of that job. When switching refrigerant types, the unit should always be self-cleared.
Non-condensables can be purged from the refillable tank during the recycling procedure. Get the temperature of the
refrigerant you are recycling from the air purge gauge. Look at the pressure-temperature chart to find what the pressure
should be at that temperature and compare it to what the air purge gauge pressure is. If the pressure on the air purge
gauge exceeds the desired pressure by more than 10 psi, open the gauge for 30 seconds, then close it and re-check the
pressure. Continue as needed during the recycling procedure.
R-134a WARNINGS!
Cross-contamination with other refrigerant types will cause severe damage to the A/C system and to service tools and
equipment. Do not mix refrigerant types through a system or in the same container!
Avoid breathing A/C refrigerant and lubricant vapor or mist. Exposure may irritate eyes, nose and throat. To remove
R-134a from the A/C system, use service equipment certified to meet the requirements of SAE J2210 (automotive R-134a
recycling equipment). If accidental system discharge occurs, ventilate work area before resuming service.
HFC-134a service equipment or vehicle A/C systems should not be pressure tested or leak tested with compressed air.
Some mixtures of air/HFC-134a have been shown to be combustible at elevated pressures. These mixtures are potentially
dangerous and may result in fire or explosion causing injury or property damage.
Additional health and safety information may be obtained from refrigerant and lubricant manufacturers.
