reduce the risk of damage to electric plug and cord, disconnect recovery machine by pulling on the plug
rather than the cord.
An extension cord should not be used unless absolutely necessary. Use of an improper extension cord could result in a
risk of fire and electric shock. If extension cord must be used, make sure:
a. That pins on plug of extension cord are the same number, size, and shape as those on machine recovery plug.
b. That extension cord is properly wired and in good electrical condition; and
c. That the wire size is large enough for the length of cord as specified below:
Length of cord in feet:
AWG size of cord:
FUME HAZARDS
• FUMES, GASES, AND VAPORS CAN CAUSE DISCOMFORT, ILLNESS, AND DEATH! To reduce the risk of
discomfort, illness, or death, read, understand, and follow the following safety instructions. In addition,
make certain that anyone that uses the equipment understands and follows these safety instructions as
well.
• Avoid breathing A/C refrigerant and lubricant vapor mist. Exposure may irritate eyes, nose, and throat.
• Stop the recovery process if you develop momentary eye, nose, or throat irritation as this indicates inadequate
ventilation. Stop work and take necessary steps to improve ventilation in the work area.
HEAT/FREEZING HAZARDS
• When under pressure, refrigerants become liquid. When accidentally released from the liquid state they
evaporate and become gaseous. As they evaporate, they can freeze tissue very rapidly. When these gases
are breathed in, the lungs can be seriously damaged. If sufficient quantities are taken into the lungs,
death can result. If you believe you have exposed your lungs to released refrigerant, seek immediate
medical assistance.
• Refrigerants can cause frostbite and severe burns to exposed skin. Refrigerants are under pressure and
can be forcibly sprayed in all directions if carelessly handled. Avoid contact with refrigerants and always
wear protective gloves and make certain other exposed skin is properly covered.
• Refrigerants can also severely injure or cause permanent blindness to unprotected eyes. Refrigerants are under
pressure and can be forcibly sprayed in all directions if carelessly handled. AVOID CONTACT WITH REFRIGERANTS
AND ALWAYS WEAR SAFETY GOGGLES.

CAUTION: This equipment should be used in locations with mechanical ventilation that provides at least four
air changes per hour or the equipment should be located at least 18 inches (457 mm) above the floor," or the
equivalent.
Attention: Technicians using this equipment must be certified under EPA Section 609 (Environmental Protection Agency).
The manufacturer shall not be responsible for any additional costs associated with a product failure including,
but not limited to, loss of work time, loss of refrigerant, cross contamination of refrigerant, and unauthorized
shipping and/or labor charges.
All hoses used for interconnecting system should have a shut off valve or ball valve on one end. Treat all hoses and con-
nections with caution. Check the hose gaskets for damage that could cause leaks before each use. Hoses or connections
will contain liquid refrigerant or gas under pressure. Connect and disconnect the fittings with caution. For general safety
reasons, at the end of the working day or in between services (when services do not immediately follow), make sure all
of the valves on the hoses and tank are closed.
The Recovery System includes a fine screen filter at the inlet port. Screen should be checked often or whenever
contamination prevents proper operation of recovery system.
