WARNING PRESSURIZED TANK CONTAINS LIQUID REFRIGERANT. OVERFILLING OF THE TANK MAY CAUSE VIOLENT EXPLOSION AND POSSIBLE INJURY OR DEATH. Safety devices requires the use of only authorized refillable refrigerant tanks. This includes Robinair Part Numbers 17506 and 34750 (50lb.) tank. Do not recover refrigerants into a non-refillable storage container! Federal regulations require refrigerant to be transported only in containers meeting DOT spec. 4BW or DOT spec. 4BA. ALL HOSES MAY CONTAIN LIQUID REFRIGERANT UNDER PRESSURE. Contact with refrigerant may cause injury. Wear proper protective equipment, including safety goggles. Disconnect hoses with extreme caution. HIGH VOLTAGE ELECTRICITY INSIDE PANELS. RISK OF ELECTRICAL SHOCK. Disconnect power before servicing unit. Refer to the operating manual.

TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE,

avoid the use of an extension cord because the extension cord may overheat. However, if you must use an extension cord, the cord shall be No. 14 AWG minimum and keep the cord as short as possible. Do not use this equipment in the vicinity of spilled or open containers of gasoline or other flammable substances. Use this equipment in locations with mechanical ventilation that provides at least four air changes per hour or locate the equipment at least 18 inches off the floor. Make certain that all safety devices are functioning properly before operating the unit. Before operating, read and follow the instructions and warnings in the operating manual. CAUTION: RISK OF INJURY. THIS EQUIPMENT SHOULD ONLY BE OPERATED BY CERTIFIED PERSONNEL. Operator must be familiar with A/C systems, refrigerants and the dangers of pressurized components. Use this unit only with R-12, R-134a, and ARI 98 Refrigerant Classes III and IV systems only. This unit is not designed for any other purpose than recovering or recycling refrigerants! Do not mix refrigerant types! Additional health and safety information may be obtained from refrigerant and lubricant manufacturers.

ATTENTION! Ce réservoir sous pression contient du frigorigène liquide. S’il est surchargé, ce réservoir peut exploser et causer des blessures ou la mort. ATTENTION. Débrancher avant la maintenance. ATTENTION. Pour réduire les risques d’incendie, ne pas utiliser de cordon prolongateur de section inférieure à 14 AWG de facon à éviter la surchauffe du cordon. ATTENTION. Utiliser seulement du frigorigène R-12 and R-134a.

OPERATING NOTES Drain the System Oil Separator at the end of each recovery. The display will indicate when a filter-drier and vacuum pump oil change are required except if you are recovering from a burnout system. Then the filterdrier should be changed at the completion of that job. When switching refrigerant types, the unit must always be self-cleared. Non-condensables can be purged from the refillable tank during the recycling procedure. Get the temperature of the refrigerant you are recycling from the air purge gauge. Look at the pressure-temperature chart to find what the pressure should be at that temperature and compare it to what the air purge gauge pressure is. If the pressure on the air purge gauge exceeds the desired pressure by more than 10 psi, open the gauge for 30 seconds, then close it and re-check the pressure. Continue as needed during the recycling procedure.
