Welcome to the G5Twin Thank you for your purchase of the Appion G5Twin Refrigerant Recovery Machine. This machine was designed to deliver fast, reliable recovery of Class III, IV and V refrigerants. Use of this machine for any other purpose is done at your own risk.
This does not prevent overfilling of the storage container. (See Page 6) ACCESSORY EQUIPMENT Additional equipment may be used to connect the G5Twin to the system you are recovering refrigerant from. Verify operational details and safety information from the manufacturers of other equipment before use.
(aka “de minimis”). Excess non-condensables can cause tank overheating, and may contaminate recovered refrigerant. • Connect the G5Twin to a grounded power source for the proper voltage of the machine (115v/230v). If using an extension cord, follow the cord sizing guidelines on Page 4. ✪...
2. Close both valves on the Manifold Gauge Set. 3. Open both valves on the G5Twin, open the Valve Core Removal Tool ball valves at the system (if equipped), and open the Recovery Cylinder Vapor Port.
Preparing for Operation information on Page 8. 1. Setup the G5Twin as shown in Diagram 5 (below). Make sure that all connections are tight. A. Connect the AC/R System Liquid Port to the G5Twin input port.
2. Close both valves on the Manifold Gauge Set. Open both valves on the G5Twin, open both valves on the Recovery Cylinder, and open the VCRT ball valves at the AC/R System access ports (if equipped).
Make sure to completely open the Recovery Cylinder valves to prevent “output restrictions” (See Tip #1). 5. When all the liquid has been siphoned off, turn off the G5Twin and close all the valves. 6. You can now proceed to remove the remaining refrigerant vapor using the Standard Recovery Procedure (Page 9).
Appion refrigerant recovery machines are unique in that there is no refrigerant directly introduced into the compressor crankcase. This allows the G5Twin to easily and efficiently clear out refrigerant at the end of the recovery process. However, as with all recovery machines, trace refrigerant vapors may remain and should be cleared out when switching between different types of refrigerant.
Another common symptom of output restrictions is the recovery machine intermittently shutting off on high pressure, but resets on its own after the output pressure quickly drops in a short time. If the G5Twin shuts off on high pressure but the output pressure quickly drops, check for, and remove, any output restrictions.

Discard of used/worn hoses with deteriorating inner linings With a full flow of liquid refrigerant, the G5Twin will quickly fill the recovery cylinder with cool liquid. Once the liquid recovery is complete, the remaining vapor will be pumped into a cooler tank, resulting in lower final temperatures and faster overall recovery speeds.

B and C will contain high pressure refrigerant. To recover the residual refrigerant from the ECA: 1. Close the G5Twin output valve, Recovery Cylinder liquid valve, and the ball valve at the end of Hose “A”. 2. Disconnect the hoses from the G5Twin input/output.
SCREEN CLEANING AND REPLACEMENT The G5Twin is equipped with a debris screen inside the input fitting. This is the last line of defense for the recovery machine against any debris that might make it past an inline filter. For best results it is recommended to clean it before each use.
