The 178002K/17802KA is a complete A/C-R service center. It recovers, recycles
and recharges a wide range of refrigerants—from existing refrigerants to new
substitutes and blends. With its multi-refrigerant capabilities, it is ideal for trucks,
buses and refrigerated trailers, as well as in-plant maintenance and other accessible
installations.
The built-in manifold means the entire service procedure can be done with just one
hook-up. A microprocessor controls the unit’s functions; evacuation time and the amount
of refrigerant to be recharged can be programmed at the beginning of the job. Prompts
lead you through programming and alert you when the filter, vacuum pump oil and
compressor oil need to be changed.
This unit is UL-listed and meets the SAE specifications for recycled refrigerant. It is also
designed to be compatible with existing service equipment and standard service proce-
dures.
This unit is simple to operate and has many user-friendly features:
• A built-in 6 cfm vacuum pump for quick, thorough evacuation.
• An electronic scale that weighs recovered refrigerant and recharges by weight for
greatest accuracy.
• A pressure/temperature chart mounted directly above the gauges—with just
a quick glance you can tell the temperatures in the system.
• A built-in shroud that keeps the tank from falling off the platform.
• Large diameter wheels that make it easy to move the unit.
• A handy storage shelf located below the control panel to hold fittings, adapters
and other tools.
IMPORTANT! To validate your warranty, complete the warranty card attached to
your unit and return it within ten days from date of purchase.
