Operating Instructions WARNING Wear safety goggles when working with refrigerants. Read and follow all warnings at the beginning of this manual before operating this machine. Connecting hoses to the wrong ports may cause personal injury and/or damage to the equipment. Check your vehicle’s A/C system operating manual for the correct hookup. Handle battery connection cables with extreme caution — batteries generate explosive gases during normal battery operation.
Operating Instructions Sometimes refrigerant will pool inside the system. When the compressor is turned off, ambient heat will vaporize this pooled refrigerant, causing system pressure to rise again. The recovery process should be repeated until the system remains at a vacuum for at least two (2) minutes. 9. When the recovery process is complete, close the tank’s valve, close the hose valve, and disconnect the recovery hose from the vehicle. 10.
Maintenance Instructions NOTE: Numbers in parentheses correspond to callouts shown in the diagrams on page 5. This station is designed to operate with a minimal amount of maintenance. 1. For correct lubrication of the air motor, the oil level in the air line lubricator (4) on the back of the station must be maintained above the bottom of the dip tube inside the lubricator’s bowl. Fill with 3/4 oz. (22 ml) of pneumatic air line oil or detergent SAE #10 motor oil.
Troubleshooting Tips Unit runs for short time before building up high tank pressure, or compressor stalls. Problem: Tank valve closed. Solution: Open the tank valve with 3/8" adapter, and open the 3/8" hose valve. Compressor stalls during recovery. Problem: Insufficient supply of air pressure. Solution: Supply air pressure should be a minimum of 120 psi and a maximum of 200 psi. Problem: Insufficient supply of air volume. Solution: Minimum volume of supply air should be 10 CFM at 120 psi.
