ACS 561 Service Manual
WARNINGS: To prevent personal injury,
ALLOW ONLY QUALIFIED PERSONNEL TO OPERATE THE MACHINE. Before operating
the machine, read and follow the instructions and warnings in this manual. The operator
must be familiar with air conditioning and refrigeration systems, refrigerants, and the
dangers of pressurized components. If the operator cannot read this manual, operating
instructions and safety precautions must be read and discussed in the operator's native
language.
USE THE MACHINE AS OUTLINED IN THIS MANUAL. Using the machine in a manner for
which it was not designed will compromise the machine and nullify the protections provided.
PRESSURIZED TANK CONTAINS LIQUID REFRIGERANT. Do not overfill the internal
storage vessel (ISV), because overfilling may cause explosion resulting in personal injury
or death. Do not recover refrigerants into nonrefillable containers; use only type-approved
refillable containers that have pressure relief valves.
HOSES MAY CONTAIN LIQUID REFRIGERANT UNDER PRESSURE. Contact with
refrigerant may cause personal injury, including blindness and frozen skin. Wear protective
equipment, including goggles and gloves. Disconnect hoses using extreme caution. Ensure
the phase has been completed before disconnecting the machine to prevent the release
of refrigeration to the atmosphere.
DO NOT BREATHE REFRIGERANT AND LUBRICANT VAPOR OR MIST. Refrigerant
reduces the oxygen available for breathing, resulting in drowsiness and dizziness. Exposure
to high concentrations of refrigerant causes asphyxiation, injury to the eyes, nose, throat,
and lungs, and can affect the central nervous system. Use the machine in locations with
mechanical ventilation that provides at least one air change per hour. If accidental system
discharge occurs, ventilate the work area before resuming service.
DO NOT DISPERSE THE REFRIGERANT INTO THE ENVIRONMENT. Such a precaution
is necessary to prevent the possible presence of refrigerant in the working environment.
TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE, do not use an extension cord. An extension cord may
overheat and cause fire. If you must use an extension cord, use the shortest possible cord
with a minimum size of 14 AWG.
TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE, do not use the machine in the vicinity of spilled or open
containers of gasoline or other flammable substances.
TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE, do not use the machine in the vicinity of flames and
hot surfaces. Refrigerant decomposes at high temperatures, freeing toxic substances to
the environment which are noxious to the user.
TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE, do not use the machine in environments containing
explosive gases or vapors.
