absorbing any pressure increases.
ELECTRICAL SHOCK HAZARDS
• To reduce the risk of electric shock, unplug the power supply cord from the outlet before
attempting any maintenance or cleaning. Turning off controls will not reduce this risk.
• Do not operate the machine with a damaged cord or plug — replace the cord or plug
immediately. To reduce the risk of damage to electric plug and cord, disconnect the power
cord 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, electric shock and component damage. 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 the plug of the recycler.
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:
MOTION HAZARDS
• Engine parts that are in motion and unexpected movement of a vehicle can injure or kill.
When working near moving engine parts, wear snug fit clothing and keep hands and fingers
away from moving parts. Keep hoses and tools clear of moving parts. Always stay clear of
moving engine parts. Hoses and tools can be thrown through the air if not kept clear of
moving engine parts.
• The unexpected movement of a vehicle can injure or kill. When working on vehicles always
set the parking brake or block the wheels.
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. To remove R1234yf from the A/C system, use service equipment certified to meet the requirements
of SAE J2843--R1234yf recycling equipment. Additional health and safety information may be obtained from
refrigerant and lubricant manufacturers.
• Always perform vehicle service in a properly ventilated area. Never run an engine without proper ventilation for
its exhaust.
• Stop the recycling 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.
