2.0 SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

2.1 THIS EQUIPMENT MUST ALWAYS BE OPERATED BY A QUALIFIED TECHNICIAN WHO
IS FAMILIAR WITH REFRIGERANT SYSTEMS, REFRIGERANTS, REFRIGERANT SAFETY AND
LOCAL REQUIREMENTS.
2.2 READ THIS MANUAL and become familiar with the specifications and operation of this machine
prior to use.
2.3 WEAR APPROPRIATE SAFETY PROTECTION APPAREL such as gloves, eye protection and
foot protection when working on refrigeration systems.
2.4 REFRIGERANT VAPOUR CAN BE HAZARDOUS AND ITS BYPRODUCTS CAN BE LETHAL
- work only in well ventilated areas. When working indoors, ensure there is adequate airflow in the
workspace and install a separate circulation fan if necessary. DO NOT WORK IN AN ENCLOSED
AREA without special safety equipment as appropriate for the conditions.
2.5 KNOW THE PROPER SAFETY AND HANDLING REQUIREMENTS for the refrigerant being
recovered by reviewing the Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS) and the temperature - vapour
pressure information.
2.6 PERFORM LEAK DETECTION in accordance with recommended practice only. For best results
use only a refrigerant detector such as the JAVAC D-TEK or TEK- Mate. NEVER USE OXYGEN for
this process as it can become an explosive mixture in the presence of oil and pressure.
2.7 NEVER OVERFILL A STORAGE CONTAINER. The use of a refrigerant scale, such as the
JAVAC Pro-Charge, is required to prevent overfill. OVERFILLED CYLINDERS CAN RUPTURE
EXPLOSIVELY!
2.8 STORE REFRIGERANTS in a cool, dry place.
2.9 SEPARATE DIFFERENT REFRIGERANTS. Avoid mixing refrigerants by using sepa-rate storage
cylinders and filters for each type recovered.
2.10 OPEN SERVICE OR CYLINDER VALVES SLOWLY to ensure that all connections are tight and
there is no danger.
2.11 DISCONNECT POWER before moving or servicing the recovery unit. CAUTION - these units
should be opened only by a technically qualified person who has been trained in basic electronics
and refrigeration. The risk of ELECTRIC SHOCK and exposure to HOT compressor parts is possible
if the unit is opened.
2.12 WARNING - TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE, EXTENSION CORDS SHOULD NOT BE USED
with this equipment as the wiring can overheat under conditions of high current draw. If an extension
cord is absolutely necessary, its length should be as short as possible and it should contain size 16
AWG (1.291 mm) or larger wiring.
