Changing User Options
The user can change the settings of some automatic
options that this unit offers. To change these options
do the following:
AUTO RECOVERY HOLD TIME
The unit comes pre-set from the factory to perform
the Recovery Hold Time. The Recovery Hold Time
automatically performs the hold times that are
recommended in the SAE J 2211 standard to insure
that all of the refrigerant is recovered from the auto-
mobiles A/C system. This process ensures that all
the refrigerant is removed from the A/C system and
also prevents overcharging the A/C system when
you recharge it.
To turn this feature off, perform the following steps:
1. Turn the unit off.
2. Hold the ENTER key down and turn on the main
power switch.
3. When the display reads “PRESS START FOR OP”
release the ENTER key.
4. Press the START key.
5. Press and release the START key until the display
reads “RECOVERY HOLD TIME”.
6. Press the ENTER key.
7. Press the INCREASE key until the display reads
“N”.
8. Press the ENTER key to set change.

nician or an authorized YELLOW JACKET® service
