2. Important Safety Information's_ This unit is extremely simple and reliable in selecting and performing all its functions. Therefore, the user is not exposed to any risk, if the general safety guidelines reported below are followed, in association with proper use and maintenance of the unit (improper use and maintenance will reduce the safety of the unit).
3. Technical Features Refrigerant ........R134 a Electronic refrigerant scale ....+/- 10 g resolution Load cell .......... 2 x 60kg with 150% overload capacity LP and HP gauges ......AI-D 68 mm kl.1.0 Recovery cylinder ......45 kg Recovery pump ........ 26cm with liquid and thermal protection Recovery rate ........
4. Main Parts & Features 1. Analog Gauges - Two large analogue gauges display suction and discharge pressures, which are mounted on the front panel for easy viewing by the operator. Pressures are displayed in Bar & PSI and temperatures in degrees Celsius. 2.

7. New Oil Storage Reservoir - A vessel of 250ml (8.75oz) is mounted on the left rear of the unit to allow the operator to inject oil into air conditioning system automatically. 8. Refrigerant Cylinder - 27 kg capacity, secured with the strap on the platform 9.
5. Preparing the machine for the first use Perform the following steps to prepare the unit before the first use. 1. Remove the nylon wrapped and styrofoam insert behind the cylinder (8). 2. Check to ensure that all of the accessory components are present: 3.
6. Display descriptions After switching ON the machine, numerical display shows CYL WEIGHT (the amount of the refrigerant in the cylinder) in KG or LB (upon the unit set up). R134a should be selected also. HIgH PrES - Excess pressure in refrigerant cylinder TArE - Calibrating the weight display to read -0.00 with an empty cylinder on platform.
7. Refrigerant Cylinder Filling Procedure The cylinder (12) may be filled with refrigerant by following procedures. Using refillable cylinder procedure Have cylinder sitting upright, connect the suction (blue) service hose (5) to storage cylinder liquid valve by using the refrigerant cylinder adapter (12) supplied, open liquid valve on storage cylinder, open service hose quick coupling (5) and console blue hand valve (4) ...
8. Connecting to the Automotive A/C System Use the service hose (5) quick couplings to connect the hoses to the A/C system service ports, bearing in mind that BLUE must be connected to the low-pressure (suction) side and RED to high pressure (discharge).
9. Recovery & Recycling Mode The purpose of the Recovery & Recycling mode is to recover refrigerant from the air conditioning system, which will condense, purify and store the liquid refrigerant in the unit cylinder ready for re-use. To initiate the Recovery mode, press the 'UP' key once, followed by 'START' on the console. Display shows (- - - -).

If at the end of Recovery process a sufficient vacuum has been maintained, the unit will stop, the display (2) will indicate 'done' and the amount of refrigerant recovered will be displayed in (kg or lb) depending on the operator’s selection. Press 'STOP' on the console, the unit will display "busy"...
10. Evacuation Mode In the evacuation mode the air and moisture in the air conditioning system is removed and exhausted to the atmosphere. The evacuation mode runs for a predetermined time selected by the operator. To initiate evacuation mode, press the 'UP' key twice, followed by the 'START' key. Select the desired evacuation duration by pressing the 'UP' key to increase or 'DOWN' key to decrease time duration.
11. New Oil and/or UV dye Injection Mode The purpose of the oil injection mode is to batch a user-defined quantity of refrigerant oil (or UV dye) from the graduate reservoir on the unit to the vehicle air-conditioning system. Important: The unit requires that the air conditioning system has previously been evacuated to a maximum vacuum before this function can be carried out.
12. Refrigerant Charge Mode The purpose of the refrigerant charge mode is to batch a user- defined weight of refrigerant into the air-conditioning system. To initiate charging mode, press the 'UP' key three times (or DOWN once), followed by the 'START' key.
13. Cylinder Air Purge Air is not good for A/C system because it is a noncondensable gas. It is possible to get inside the cylinder during the proces of recovery of contaminated a/c system (system which leaks or not properly evacuated). To check the cylinder for air contamination, a technician should read the pressure on the refrigerant in storage cylinder to see if it exceeds the maximum allowable pressure for a given ambient temperature.
