12) Use recommended accessories. Follow the
instructions that accompany all accessories.
Improper use may damage equipment or create
a hazard.
13) Use the RecoverXL/XLT only with the proper
refrigerants. (See specifications for a complete
list of compatible refrigerants.)
14) Operate the RecoverXL/XLT within the
design parameters only. The RecoverXL/XLT
was designed to operate within a temperature

RecoverXL Operating Guide
Direct Liquid/Vapor Recovery
The RecoverXL is used to pull liquid or vapor
refrigerant out of the system and transfer it into a
recovery cylinder.
Liquid recovery is accomplished by connecting to
the high pressure system discharge service port
(liquid port) side of the system being serviced with a
manifold (to regulate refrigerant flow).
Vapor recovery can be done by connecting to the
system suction service port (low pressure) side of
the system.
Because the RecoverXL is capable of recovering
liquid, it is more efficient to recover all of the liquid,
followed by the vapor.
Ensure you have the capacity to recover all the re-
frigerant in the system. In the USA the recovery
cylinders can only be filled to 80% capacity and in
the EU it is only 60% capacity.
Refer to the following instructions and the diagram
on page 4:
Liquid Recovery
1. Know the type and quantity of refrigerant pre-
sent before servicing any system.
2. Turn off power to the system being serviced.
Turn the selector knob to off.
3. Connect your manifold to the system being
serviced. High Side to liquid port and Low Side
to vapor port as shown in diagram on page 4.
4. Connect the Utility port of your manifold to the
1/4" SUCTION port of the RecoverXL.
5. Connect one hose from the recovery cylinder
(liquid side) to the 1/4" DISCHARGE port of
the RecoverXL.

C) to 120
F (49

and the RecoverXL/XLT should be handled as if
under high pressure. When opening a tank containing
refrigerant, open valves slowly to prevent release of
refrigerant, especially if the valves might be
damaged.
To prevent the risk of fire DO NOT use an extension
cord longer than 25' (7.6 m) and a minimum
2
AWG (1.276 mm
).
Note: Be sure to connect hose ends with shut-
off to suction and discharge ports of recovery
machine. (For best performance use 3/8"
hoses.)
6. Purge all hoses of non-condensables before
recovering refrigerant into recovery cylinder.
7. Open the liquid valve on the recovery tank.
8. Turn the RecoverXL on.
9. Turn the selector VALVE on the RecoverXL to
LIQUID RECOVERY position.
10. Open the High Side and Utility valves on your
manifold and use them to regulate the refriger-
ant pressure to 80 psi maximum.
11. The RecoverXL will recover the liquid refriger-
ant. When you have removed all the liquid in
the system switch to vapor recovery procedure
step 9 to reduce your recovery time.
Vapor Recovery
1. Know the type and quantity of refrigerant pre-
sent before servicing any system.
2. Turn off power to the system being serviced.
Turn the selector knob to off.
3. Connect your manifold to the system being
serviced. High Side to liquid port and Low Side
to vapor port as shown in diagram on page 4.

(liquid side) to the 1/4" DISCHARGE port of
the RecoverXL.
Note: Be sure to connect hose ends with shut-
of 16
