General Safety Instructions
1)
Know your equipment.
Read and under-
stand the operation manual and the labels
affixed to this unit. Learn the applications
and limitations, as well as the specific poten-
tial hazards of the
YJ-LTE.
2) Use the correct hoses.
Use only hoses de-
signed for handling of refrigerants. The hose
should be the minimum length required for
each job and equipped with a shut-off device
(such as the compact ball valve) at the end
to reduce the likelihood of refrigerant leaks
to the atmosphere. For best performance we
recommend using 3/8” hoses.
YELLOW
JACKET hoses are made for almost every
type of refrigerant. See your local distribu-
tor for more information
.
3) Ground all equipment.
Plug the
YJ-LTE
into a properly grounded receptacle.
4)
If the power cord is damaged
, it must be
replaced by a cord assembly available
from the manufacturer or distributor where
purchased.
6) Do not pressure test with compressed air.
Some mixtures of air and refrigerant have
been shown to be combustible at elevated
pressures.
7)
Avoid dangerous environments
. To keep
operator exposure to a minimum, use the
YJ-LTE
only in areas with sufficient
ventilation.
Recovery should always be performed in well
ventilated areas. Use the
YJ-LTE
only in
locations where mechanical ventilation which
provides at least four air changes per hour is
present, or place the unit 18” above the floor
during use.
The
YJ-LTE
should not be used near open
containers of gasoline or any other flammable
