ƽ IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION ƽ
SAFETY COMES FIRST! Read all safety, operating
guidelines and instructions before operating your
25175B.
1. CAUTION: ONLY A QUALIFIED TECHNICIAN
SHOULD OPERATE THIS RECOVERY UNIT.
The operator must be familiar with air conditioning
and refrigeration systems, refrigerants and the
dangers of pressurized components.
2. Always think before acting, familiarity breeds care-
lessness and carelessness can be harmful to your
health or, worse, result in death.
3.
ƽ
WARNING Always wear safety goggles and
protective gloves when working with refrigerants.
Contact with refrigerant may cause injury.
Disconnect hoses with extreme caution! All hoses
may contain liquid refrigerant under pressure.

PRESSURIZED TANK CONTAINS LIQUID
REFRIGERANT. NEVER OVERFILL STORAGE
TANKS. OVERFILLING OF THE TANK MAY
CAUSE A VIOLENT EXPLOSIONANDPOSSIBLE
INJURY OR DEATH.DONOT: Exceed theworking
pressure of Recovery Tank cylinder.
5.
ƽ
Warning: DO NOT: Exceed the working pres-
sure of each cylinder. Recovery cylinders are
designed for different pressures. Your 25175B is
not supplied with a recovery tank, it requires the
use of tanks with a minimum of 350 psi working
pressure and ROBINAIR strongly recommends
the use of 400 psi tanks.
NOTE: The use of a 400 psi tank is mandatory
when recovering R410A.
See ROBINAIR Recovery Tanks under Parts and
Accessories section on Page 15.

ƽ
A scale must be used to avoid overfilling the
storage tank. DO NOT OVERFILL. Tank is full at
80% volume. Tank may explode if filled more than
80% due to liquid expansion.
7. Use ONLY authorized refillable refrigerant tanks.
NEVER use a standard disposable 30lb. tank (the
type of container in which virgin refrigerant is
sold) to recover refrigerant.
8. Read all safety information regarding the safe
handling of refrigerant and refrigerant oil, includ-
ing the Material Safety Data Sheet. MSDS
sheets can be obtained from your refrigerant
supplier.
9. If you expect temperatures in excess of 135° F,
contact the refrigerant supplier.
10. Be sure that any room where you are working is
thoroughly ventilated, especially if a leak is sus-
pected. Refrigerant vapor is hazardous to your
health and can cause death.
