SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
! The TX200 is designed to recover most common refrigerants, including, but not limited to R12,
R22, R134a and R502. Do not use the TX200 to recover high pressure refrigerants which have
working pressures above 400 PSIG (27 Bar) at 120
0 F (49 0 C).
! Wear safety glasses and protective gloves. Refrigerant has a very low boiling point and can
cause frostbite.
! Follow the TX200 operating procedures sequentially to avoid prematurely disconnecting hoses
or opening valves which may release refrigerant to the atmosphere.
! Do not expose the TX200 to moisture or operate in wet areas.
! Use the TX200 in locations with mechanical ventilation that provides at least four air changes per
hour.
! Hoses used with the TX200 must have shutoff devices within 12 inches (30 cm) of the connection
point to the cooling system being serviced to minimize the release of refrigerant when being
disconnected.
! Disconnect power before performing any maintenance or service on the TX200.
! Avoid using an extension cord with the TX200. If necessary, use a good condition, 3-wire
grounded, 14 AWG (2.5 mm
2 ) extension cord of the shortest possible length.
! Connect the TX200 to a properly protected, grounded receptacle. Do not over load the circuit.
