Page 4: Safety
Safety CAUTION! Before operating this unit, please read this manual in its entirety. It is important that you have a thorough understanding of the procedures outlined in this manual. Failure to follow these procedures could void all manufacturer warranties. WARNING! This unit is capable of over-pressurizing a DOT recovery cylinder. - Page 5 WARNING: Before starting the unit you MUST OPEN the outlet port on the Stinger and open the port to the recovery tank. Read entire operating instruction manual before use. Failure to open the outlet port will cause permanent damage to the unit and void the warranty.
- Page 6 Learn the application and limitations as well as the specific potential hazards of your equipment. Ground all equipment: Stinger is equipped with a three-pronged grounded power cord. Use the proper extension cord: Keep extension cord length to a minimum.

Use weight (charging) scale: A scale (P/N 2010-0000) must be used to indicate when the recovery tank is 80% full when the STINGER does not have the 80% Shutoff Kit option installed. Avoid dangerous environments: Although the unit can be used outdoors, we do not recommend operation in the rain, or in wet locations. - Page 8 Specification Description R-12, R-22, R-114, R-134a, R-401A, R-401B, R-401C, R-402A, R-402B, R-404A, Compatible R-406A, R-407A, R-407B, R-407C, R-407D, Refrigerants R-408A, R-409A, R-410A, R-411A, R-411B, R-412A, R-500, R-502, R-507, R-509 (See ‡ 9$& 1 Phase, 50/60 Hz, 8 A label on Power ‡...

Stinger Rear View NOTE: If the “Tank Full” Shutoff Cord option is installed, the STINGER will not operate unless it is connected to a recovery cylinder with a compatible level-float switch. If the recovery cylinder doesn’t have a float switch, a shorting cap must be installed on the shutoff cord.

Page 13: Vapor/Liquid Recovery Operations
Make proper hose connections. Connect refrigerant hoses to recovery cylinder, STINGER, and A/C system as shown on page 15. When possible, use a manifold-gauge set to recover refrigerant from both the high- and low- side service ports. This will speed up the recovery rates. -
Page 14: Standard Recovery Hose Connections
Proceed with the recovery process until the system pressure shows a vacuum. Turn OFF the STINGER for a minimum of 5 minutes; after which, determine the amount of refrigerant remaining in the system. Repeat this step until system pressure is below mandatory EPA levels. - Page 15 2090-0217 Rev 6...

Page 16: Liquid Push-Pull Recovery Operations
A scale or liquid-sight glass can be used to determine when all the liquid is recovered. The STINGER will not pull a vacuum using the liquid push-pull recovery operation. To finish the recovery operation, you must perform vapor recovery operations as described on page 13. - Page 17 Open both the vapor and liquid valves on the DOT recovery tank. Turn ON the STINGER. The compressor will begin to “pull” vapors from the cylinder and “push” the liquid out of the system and into the recovery cylinder.

Page 19: Liquid-Pull Recovery / Charging Method
Liquid-Pull Recovery / Charging Method The Stinger can be used for pumping virgin refrigerant on an intermittent basis. Unlike recovered refrigerant, virgin refrigerant does not contain oil. CAUTION: Routinely pumping virgin refrigerant through the STINGER can remove lubrication from the compressor, resulting in premature failure. -

WHEN RECOVERING VAPOR: If the STINGER sounds like it is overloaded either by slowing down or by making a “knocking” sound, reduce the inlet pressure by closing or “throttling” the inlet valve until the STINGER begins to run normally. WHEN RECOVERING LIQUID:... - Page 21 2090-0217 Rev 6...

3. Turn OFF the STINGER and then turn the outlet valve (red knob right side) to its “CLOSED” position. 4. Close the Vapor and Liquid valves on the DOT recovery tank. -
Page 23: Dot Recovery Cylinder Safety
It is recommended that you use this cord for added safety. If your STINGER is not equipped with an 80% tank full shutoff cord, or if you are using a recovery cylinder that does not have a float switch, then you must use a scale to prevent overfilling the cylinder. - Page 24 If the 80% tank full shutoff cord is present, but not being used, then a shorting cap must be installed on the shutoff cord in order for the STINGER to operate. Bacharach uses and recommends the Air Conditioning and Refrigeration Institute's (ARI) Guideline K for the safe filling and handling of used refrigerant.

Use an agency approved in-line filter (P/N 07-1700) to prevent contaminants from entering the STINGER. x If the STINGER has the optional 80% tank full shutoff cord installed, connect this cord to the recovery cylinder’s float switch. If the cylinder does not have a float switch, then be sure to install a shorting cap on the shutoff cord;... - Page 26 2090-0217 Rev 6...
