IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Cylinders shall be complete with pressure relief valve and associated shut-off valves in
good working order. Empty recovery cylinders are evacuated and, if possible, cooled
before recovery occurs. The recovery equipment shall be in good working order with a
set of instructions concerning the equipment that is at hand and shall be suitable for the
recovery of flammable refrigerants. In addition, a set of calibrated weighing scales shall
be available and in good working order. Hoses shall be complete with leak-free disconnect
couplings and in good condition. Before using the recovery machine, check that it is in
satisfactory working order, has been properly maintained and that any associated
electrical components are sealed to prevent ignition in the event of a refrigerant release.
Consult manufacturer if in doubt. The recovered refrigerant shall be returned to the
refrigerant supplier in the correct recovery cylinder, and the relevant Waste Transfer
Note arranged. Do not mix refrigerants in recovery units and especially not in cylinders.
If compressors or compressor oils are to be removed, ensure that they have been
evacuated to an acceptable level to make certain that flammable refrigerant does not
remain within the lubricant. The evacuation process shall be carried out prior to
returning the compressor to the suppliers. Only electric heating to the compressor body
shall be employed to accelerate this process. When oil is drained from a system, it shall be
carried out safely.
Gentle Reminder
Check the appliance regularly and refer to TROUBLESHOOTING or contact our customer
support if it shows any of the following signs:
- Power cord or plug is damaged.
- Loud noise, unusual smell or excessive heat.
