Vortex Operating Manual
2.2 Warranty
INFICON warrants your Vortex Refrigerant Recovery Machine to be free from
defects of materials or workmanship for one year from the date of purchase.
INFICON does not warrant any machine that has been subjected to misuse,
negligence, or accident, or has been repaired or altered by anyone other than
INFICON.
The Compressor is warranted for a period of one year by the manufacturer. To
keep this WARRANTY in force it is required that a standard filter or filter drier
be used on the Inlet Port or Hose at all times to prevent particulates from
entering the compressor. FAILURE TO USE A FILTER WILL VOID THE
COMPRESSOR WARRANTY.
INFICON’s liability is limited to machines returned to INFICON, transportation
prepaid, not later than thirty (30) days after the warranty period expires, and
which INFICON judges to have malfunctioned because of defective materials
or workmanship. INFICON’s liability is limited to, at its option, repairing or
replacing the defective machine or part.
This WARRANTY is in lieu of all other warranties, express or implied, whether
of MERCHANTABILITY or of FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE or
otherwise. All such other warranties are expressly disclaimed.
INFICON shall have no liability in excess of the price paid to INFICON for the
machine plus return transportation charges prepaid. INFICON shall have no
liability for any incidental or consequential damages. All such liabilities are
EXCLUDED.
3.0 Setup and Operation
3.1 Getting Started
Only personnel who have been properly trained in the use and
operation of Refrigeration Systems, Refrigerants and Service Equipment
should operate this equipment. Failure to follow proper safety
precautions could result in personal injury or death.
Review the full contents of this Manual before attempting to use
the Vortex in actual service.
Identify the refrigerant to be recovered and prepare the Vortex for use by
installing an approved filter, hoses and optional shutoff cable per the diagram
below.
Connect the AC Power cord to a circuit that is protected by a 15 amp breaker.
Use an extension cord only when absolutely necessary to perform the service
— be sure it is the minimum length required, that it contains a safety ground
wire and that it contains wires sized 16 AWG or larger.
