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.
