EPA REQUIREMENTS
Under Section 608 of the Clean Air Act (40 CFR Part 82), the Environmental Protection Agency
(EPA) has established regulations that cover all aspects of the refrigerant recovery process�
These regulations have established service practices that maximize the recycling of ozone-
depleting compounds during the servicing and disposal of air-conditioning and refrigeration
equipment�
Certification requirements for recovery equipment and technicians have also been
established� The JB Industries F6-DP has been EPA Certified for use by an independent
laboratory�
The EPA has also established Evacuation Requirements for HVAC/R equipment used for
service, to ensure that any release of CFCs or HCFCs to the atmosphere is minimized�
SERVICE
The F6-DP uses electrical components recognized by international safety agencies or
components that have been specially designed for this application�
Do not change any of these components, as it could compromise safety� All service
work must be performed at a JB Industries-approved facility to maintain the safety rating
and the warranty�
If defective, do not return F6-DP directly to the factory� For technical assistance or service
information, contact JB Industries or your wholesaler�
