TIF RG5410A Refrigerant Recovery Machine - Manual (Page 6)

NOTE: If there is no liquid in the recovery tank, then
the cooling method will not work. In this case, use an
empty tank that has been fully evacuated to achieve
the final vacuum level required.
14. If the tank pressure exceeds 300 psi, use the tank
cooling procedure to reduce the tank pressure.
(See Pages 13 & 14)
15. To maximize recovery rates, use the shortest
possible length of 3/8" or larger hose.
A hose no longer than 3 feet is recom-
mended.
16.For maximum throughput, always remove all
unnecessary hose core depressors and the
Schrader valves from port connections.
17.Deformed rubber seals and core depressors in
hoses and faulty or unnecessary Schrader
valves can restrict flow up to 90%.
OPERATING GUIDELINES - cont.
6
1. USE of a filter/dryer at the inlet is mandatory. A fil-
ter/dryer must always be used between the recov-
ery machine and the inlet hose.
2. Special care should be taken when recovering
from a "burned-out" system. Use two high acid
capacity filters, in series. (Alco type EK-162-F or
Sporlan type C-162-F are recommended )When
you have finished recovering from the system,
flush your RG5410A with a small amount of
clean refrigerant and refrigerant oil to purge off
any foreign substances left in the unit.
3. Always empty refrigerant from the RG5410A
into a storage tank; see Self-Purge/Auto Evacuate
procedure on Page 12. Liquid refrigerant left in
theRG5410A’s condenser may expand,causing
damage to components.

Warning! Whenever you perform any type of
maintenance work on your RG5410A, insure
that it is disconnected from the power supply
before you begin.
5. If the unit is to be stored or not used for any
length of time, we recommend that it be com-
plenty evacuated of any residual refrigerant and
purged with dry nitrogen.
