G5TWIN OPERATION MANUAL

PREPARING FOR OPERATION

Every recovery procedure starts with the same ve basics:

• Remove any access valve cores from the AC/R System access ttings with a Valve Core Removal Tool;

• Remove any core depressors from the hose ttings. Do not use “quick disconnect” or “auto-shuto” hose

connections for refrigerant recovery, as this can bring the recovery to a halt. Use only ball valves for low-loss.

• Use the shortest length of 3/8”-diameter hoses possible on every connection. Even with 1/4” ttings, the

larger hose diameter can deliver better performance during recovery.

• Purge the hoses of non-condensables as you connect the hoses, as needed, using best practices to minimize

any refrigerant release (aka “de minimis”). Excess non-condensables can cause tank overheating, and may

contaminate recovered refrigerant.

• Connect the G5Twin to a grounded power source for the proper voltage of the machine (115v/230v). If using

an extension cord, follow the cord sizing guidelines on Page 4.
