Improper usage may result in refrigerant burns ( frost-
bite). If a major refrigerant leak occurs, proceed
immediately to a well ventilated area. The hoses
included with this unit are supplied with couplers that,
when closed, prevent refrigerant vapors from venting
when disconnecting from the automobile.
Only Use the Model 800 Series with the Correct
Refrigerants.
See the specifications for a list of
compatible refrigerants.

WARNING!
Refrigerant, in liquid and vapor form, is a
potentially hazardous material. Please consult the
manufacturer’s Material Safety Data Sheet for
additional information and adhere to the following
safety guidelines:
•
Avoid breathing high concentrations of vapors.
•
Use with sufficient ventilation to keep operator
exposure below recommended limits, especially in
enclosed and low lying areas.
•
Avoid contact of liquid refrigerant with the eyes
and prolonged skin exposure.
•
Wear goggles and protective gloves.
•
Do not attempt to operate this unit above 120°F
ambient temperature.
•
Do not allow refrigerants to contact open flame.
Refrigerant decomposition in a flame results in
phosgene gas. Breathing phosgene gas can be
fatal.
FIRST AID:
If high concentrations of refrigerant are
inhaled, immediately remove the victim to fresh air.
Call a physician or emergency medical technician.
Keep calm. If not breathing, give artificial respiration.
If breathing is difficult, give oxygen. Do not give
epinephrine or similar drugs.
•
EYE:
In case of liquid contact, immediately flush
eyes with plenty of water. Call a physician.
•
SKIN:
Flush with water. Treat for frostbite, if
necessary, by gently warming the effected area.
CAUTION!
All refrigerant hoses, recovery tanks,
refrigerant lines, the Model 800 series, and other
vessels containing refrigerants should be handled as
if under high pressure.
