CHAPTER 1: INTRODUCTION
1.1. Overview
Congratulations on your purchase of the Bacharach Model 3600 high performance oilless recovery
system. Bacharach has worked hard to make the Model 3600 the highest performing, most portable and
easiest to use recovery system on the market. We are committed to your complete satisfaction!
Please note that Bacharach requires that a filter be used on the inlet hose coming from the system being
serviced in order to protect the compressor from particulate.
A standard filter or filter dryer is suggested. The compressor warranty will be voided if it is determined that
a filter was not used during the operation of this equipment.
WARNING: Before starting the 3600 recovery unit, you MUST OPEN the outlet port on the unit
and open the port to the recovery tank. Read the entire operating instruction
manual before use. Failure to open the outlet port will cause permanent damage to
the unit and void the warranty.
WARNING: You must use a DOT recovery cylinder approved for use with R-410A refrigerant.
This recovery system is equipped with a high-pressure shutoff switch set to turn the
unit off at 550 psi. Using any other cylinder may cause the pressure in the recovery
cylinder to exceed the cylinder’s pressure rating.
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.
