Read, understand, and follow this entire
manual, with special attention given to Warning
and Caution statements before operating this
machine.
For use only by qualified and certified
technicians in the safe use, handling, and
transporting of refrigerants. This machine is
designed to recover most CFC, HFC, HCFC,
and some HFO refrigerants that have an A1 or
A2L flammability rating only. Please refer to
flammable refrigerant safety guides, regional
codes and legislation for more information.
WARNING
FAILURE TO HEED THESE HAZARDS AND ACTIONS CAN RESULT IN
SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH:
• Do not operate in a wet location as electrical shock risk.
• Machine is only rated for use on 110VAC mains power
• Always use a grounded outlet
• Always wear Proper Protective Equipment (PPE), which includes gloves
and safety glasses and earplugs
• Know proper safety and handling requirements of the refrigerant in the
Safety Data Sheet (SDS)
• Avoid breathing refrigerant and oil vapors
• Handle hoses and equipment carefully as refrigerant is under high
pressure and can cause frost bite
• Do not operate in or near explosive atmospheres
• Do not use with hydrocarbons (HC)
• Perform leak detection in accordance with recommended practice to
verify working environment is free from leaking refrigerant as it can be
toxic and or flammable
• Only work in well-ventilated areas (at least 4 air exchanges per hour)
• Ensure power and extension cords are in good working condition to
prevent shock and spark hazards
• Prevent motor overheating by using 14AWG minimum and 50AWG
maximum cord size
ADDITIONAL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR RECOVERING A2L
REFRIGERANTS (e.g. R-32, R-1234yf, R-1234ze):
• Adhere to local occupational safety codes and possess detailed
knowledge and skills when handling mildly flammable refrigerants
• Have emergency, evacuation, and fire protection plans
• Designate and monitor a Temporary Flammable Zone with a 3-meter
perimeter
• Identify and disable all possible ignition sources within this zone
• Monitor air with a flammable refrigerant leak detector within this zone
• Ensure at least 5 air exchanges per hour within this zone
