Avoid Dangerous Environments.

  Do not use this 

unit in damp locations or expose it to rain. This   
equipment should be used in a location with           
mechanical ventilation that provides at least four air 
changes per hour. This equipment should not be used 
near open containers of flammable liquids.

instructions that accompany all accessories.           
Improper use of accessories may damage equipment 
or create a hazard. 
 

Use Caution When Connecting or Disconnecting.

  

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. 
 

Operate the Unit within the Design Environment.

  

The Model 800 series was designed to operate in a 
temperature range from 40°F to 120°F.  The unit 
should also not be operated in a wet location. 
 

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.
