the recovery tank may cause a violent rupture resulting in severe injury or
even death. As a minimum, please use a scale to continuously monitor the
recovery tank weight.
DANGER:
ELECTRICAL SHOCK HAZARD: Always disconnect power source when
servicing this equipment.
WARNING: Do not use this equipment in the vicinity of spilled or open containers of
gasoline or other flammable substances.
WARNING: All hoses may contain liquid refrigerant under pressure. Contact with
refrigerant may cause frostbite or other related injuries. Wear proper
personal protective equipment such as safety goggles and gloves. When
disconnecting any hose, please use extreme caution.
WARNING: 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 10 awg minimum.
WARNING: Avoid breathing refrigerant vapors and lubricant vapor or mist.
Breathing high concentration levels may cause heart arrhythmia, loss of
consciousness, or even cause suffocation. Exposure may irritate eyes,
nose, throat and skin. Please read the manufacturer's Material Safety Data
Sheet for further safety information on refrigerants and lubricants.
WARNING: Make certain that all safety devices are functioning properly before
operating the equipment.
CAUTION: To avoid cross contamination of refrigerant and potential leakage to the
atmosphere, the proper hoses and fittings should be used and checked for
damage.
CAUTION: To avoid overfilling the refrigerant tank, read and follow the manufacturer's
recommended filling instructions for the refrigerant being recovered.
CAUTION: This equipment is intended for use of one refrigerant at a time until the
Self-Clearing feature is used. Mixing of different refrigerants will cause
your recovered supply of refrigerant to become contaminated. Note: It is
very expensive to destroy mixed or damaged refrigerants.
