When the identification process is complete the machine will alert to one of the following:  
a.) If the refrigerant ID has passed the machine will continue with the recovery process (see below)  
b.) If the refrigerant ID fails, follow the prompts to clear hoses and exit.

2. 

Follow the directions on the screen.

3. 

Connect the couplers to the vehicle. Press next to continue.

4. 

Open the couplers by turning the knob clockwise. Press next to continue.

5. 

Open the machine valves. Press next to continue.

6. 

The recovery screen will now be displayed. The screen will show the total amount of refrigerant in 
the tank, the amount of refrigerant being recovered, the tank pressure and temperature, the amount 
of waste oil removed and the vehicle AC pressure.

7. 

When the recovery is complete “process complete” will be displayed.

Vacuum:

1. 

Press the vacuum button.

2. 

Use the keypad displayed to program in desired vacuum time. The vacuum is pre-programmed 
for 10 minutes which includes a two minute vacuum leak check. If the vacuum leak check is not 
desired press the leak test button to disable it. Press the “C” button on the keypad to clear out the 
time then program in the desired vacuum time. Press the double arrows to lock in the vacuum time.

3. 

Press the go button, follow the instructions on the screen. Connect the couplers to the vehicle, press 
next. Open the couplers by turning the knobs clockwise, press next. Open the Machine valves, press 
next.

4. 

The vacuum procedure will now be performed.

ECO:

 If the vacuum time is at least 30 minutes, then the eco option is available. When the eco option is activated 

the vacuum pump is turned off while performing the leak test to save vacuum pump oil life.

Refrigerant Charge:
NOTE: 

Your hoses will be flushed before the refrigerant charge process begins.

1. 

Press the refrigerant charge button, use the keypad to program in the desired refrigerant charge. 
You may also use the database option to look up the year make and model of the vehicle. Press the 
double arrows to lock in your selection. Press the go button. 

2. 

Follow the instruction on the screen.

3. 

Connect the couplers to the vehicle, press next

4. 

Open the couplers by turning them clockwise, press next

5. 

Open the Machine valves. Press next

6. 

The machine will now charge the programed amount of refrigerant. The refrigerant charge 
screen will be displayed. This screen will display the amount of refrigerant in the internal tank, 
the refrigerant being charged, the total amount of refrigerant programmed, the tank pressure, 
temperature and vehicle pressure. When the charge is finished “process complete” will be displayed 
and the visual indicator will turn green.

End of Charge / Hose Clearing Process:

This process allows for the verification of the operating AC pressures and the removal of refrigerant from 
the hoses into the internal tank. The machine will then perform a short vacuum to prepare for the next 
vehicle. Follow the instruction on the screen.
1. 

Close the high and low side valves on the machine, press next to continue. 

2. 

Start the vehicle engine and turn AC system on high, press next to continue.
