SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
! Recover and Recycle R12 or R134a refrigerant only.
! Wear safety glasses and protective gloves. Refrigerant has a very low boiling point and can
cause frostbite.
! Follow the TX600 operating procedures sequentially to avoid prematurely disconnecting hoses
or opening valves which may release refrigerant to the atmosphere.
! Do not expose the TX600 to moisture or operate in wet areas.
! Use the TX600 in locations with mechanical ventilation that provides at least four air changes
per hour or locate the unit 18 inches above the floor.
! Hoses used with the TX600 must have shutoff devices within 12 inches of the connection point
to the system being serviced to minimize the introduction of Non-condensable Gas (Air) into the
TX600 and the release of refrigerant when being disconnected.
! Disconnect power before performing any maintenance or service on the TX600.
! Avoid using an extension cord with the TX600. If necessary, use a good condition, UL listed,
3-wire grounded, #14 AWG extension cord of the shortest possible length.
! Connect the TX600 to a properly protected, grounded receptacle. Do not over load the circuit.
! Disconnect Power Cord from power source while connecting the OFP (Overfill Protection)
Device to avoid bodily injury due to electrical shock. Do not force plug into OFP Device.
Look at pins in plug and align them with sockets on OFP Device.
NEVER TURN THE CYLINDER UP-SIDE-DOWN.
DO NOT CONNECT THE TX600 TO THE LIQUID SIDE OF
ANY A/C SYSTEM WITH A CAPACITY GREATER THAN 4
LBS.
REFRIGERANT IN A/C SYSTEMS HAVING LARGER
CAPACITIES MUST BE RECOVERED FROM THE VAPOR
SIDE ONLY.
FAILURE TO FOLLOW THE ABOVE MAY CAUSE THE TX600
COMPRESSOR TO FAIL AND VOID THE WARRANTY.
