DANGER - the recovery tank contains liquid 
refrigerant. Overfilling of the recovery tank may
cause a violent explosion resulting in severe injury
or even death. As a minimum use a scale to 
continuously monitor the recovery tank weight.

servicing this equipment.

DANGER - EXPLOSION RISK. Do not recover
flammable refrigerants.

CAUTION - all hoses may contain liquid refrigerant
under pressure. Contact with refrigerant may
cause frostbite or other related injuries. Wear 
proper personal protective equipment such as
safety goggles and gloves. When disconnecting
any hose, please use extreme caution.

CAUTION - avoid breathing refrigerant vapors
and/or lubricant mist. Exposure may irritate eyes,
nose, throat, and skin. Please read the 
manufacturers Material Safety Data Sheet for 
further safety information on refrigerants and
lubricants.

CAUTION - to reduce the risk of fire, avoid the use
of extension cords thinner than NO. 14 awg.
(1,5mm2) to prevent the overheating of this cord
please keep length to a minimum.

CAUTION - do not use this equipment in the 
vicinity of spilled or open containers of gasoline or
other flammable substances. Make certain that all
safety devices are functioning properly before
operating the equipment.

This equipment is intended for use of one refriger-
ant at a time until the SELF-CLEARING feature is
used. Mixing of different refrigerants will cause your
recovered supply of refrigerant to become 
contaminated. NOTE: It is very expensive to
destroy mixed or damaged refrigerants.
