Tech Tips Know how much refrigerant you expect to recover before starting. Ensure there’s enough room in the recovery cylinder to not General exceed 80% filled during the job, or monitor and have a second cylinder ready. Store in the self purge or recover position. Do not store in the CLOSED position as trapped air and refrigerant can expand and Always purge hoses before recovery.
