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. Ensure that you are using the proper DOT recovery cylinder
for the refrigerant that you are recovering. NOTE: R-410 is capable of
pressures exceeding 600 psi. Typical DOT recovery cylinders are rated
at 350 psi with a pressure relief set at 550 psi. These cylinders should
not be used with R-410A. Only cylinders rated at 400 psi with the relief
valve setting at 600 psi should be used to for R-410A. Failure to use the
proper cylinder can be extremely dangerous.
BEFORE handling refrigerants, read the material safety data sheet from
the refrigerant manufacturer.
CAUTION! These instructions are for personnel trained and
experienced in the handling of refrigerants. Unqualified individuals
should not attempt to operate this equipment. Failure to follow proper
operating procedures may cause personal injury.
WARNING! Inhalation of high concentrations of refrigerant vapors is
harmful and may cause heart irregularities, unconsciousness, or death.
Deliberate inhalation of refrigerants is extremely dangerous and death
can occur without warning. Vapors reduce oxygen available for
breathing and are heavier than air. Decomposition products are
hazardous. Liquid contact may cause frostbite. All refrigerant
containers, equipment, and hoses are under pressure.
HAZARDOUS AREA WARNING: This instrument has not been
designed to be intrinsically safe for use in areas classified as hazardous
locations. DO NOT use it in hazardous (classified) locations.
