The following instructions are for a standard or 

“common” recovery procedure.

setup procedure

  1. Place the RG6000 unit on a flat, level surface.
  2. Verify a clean filter screen is installed behind 

the inlet fitting.

  3. Connect a hose from the outlet fitting of the 

unit to the liquid port on the recovery cylinder.

  4. Connect a hose from the inlet fitting of the unit 

to the output port of a manifold gauge set. 

Promax recommends using a sight glass and a 

filter / drier in this line.

  5. Connect a hose from the liquid (low pressure) 

side of the manifold gauge set to the liquid side 

of the system being serviced.

  6. Connect a hose from the vapor (high) side of 

the manifold gauge set to the vapor side of the 

system being serviced.

   

RG6000-KT only:

 Attach tank connection 

harness (No. 549977) to float switch 

connection on the recovery cylinder.

  7. Verify the inlet and outlet valves on the 

RG6000 unit are closed.

  8. Place the recovery cylinder on a scale (such as 

TIF9010A) to avoid overfilling the cylinder.

Tech Tips

The RG6000 will perform at its peak when voltage 

entering the machine (while operating) is between 

115V AC and 122V AC. Lower supply voltages 

may result in difficulty starting under high head 

pressure, reduced performance, and / or motor 

overheating. 

Use an outlet that does not have other applicances 

(such as lights, machines, etc.) plugged into it. 
Do not use an extension cord unless needed. If 

an extension cord is used, it must be 14 AWG 

minimum and as short as possible to reduce 

voltage drops. 

 

WARNING : A storage cylinder is full when 

it reaches 80% volume. dO NOT OveRFIll. due 

to liquid expansion, the cylinder could explode 

if filled to more than 80% volume, possibly 

causing personal injury and equipment damage.
