⌦IMPORTANT: Before recovering refrigerant with your SKYE machine, the

vehicle AC system must be off.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS:

1. Close the high side and low side manifold valves and connect the RED high side and BLUE

low side service hoses to the AC system.

2. Open the storage tank VAPOR port and connect the machine to power.

3. Turn the FUNCTION SELECTOR to RECOVER and press the RECOVER ON button.

(Make sure the service valve is on).

NOTE: If you want to measure the amount of refrigerant being recovered, press the

scale keyboard ON button, wait for warm-up to complete then press and hold the zero

button for 2 seconds. When the LCD reads 0 lbs. 00 oz. proceed to next step.

4. Open the low side manifold valve slowly, when the pressure on the low side manifold gauge

drops below 40 PSI slowly open the high side manifold valve. The unit will operate

automatically and recover and recycle all the refrigerant in the AC system.

5. When the pressure in the AC system drops to approximately 10" VACUUM, the compressor

will stop. This does not mean that all the refrigerant has been recovered as there may be

refrigerant trapped in the oil or in an accumulator which will slowly evaporate. The

compressor will restart automatically and recover this refrigerant. When the gauges remain

at 0 PSI or below for at least 2 minutes recovery is complete. Close the low side and the

high side manifold valves. If the system pressure rises during this time, allow the machine

to continue the recovery process.

6. Turn the FUNCTION SELECTOR to the CLOSED position and press the RECOVER OFF

button.

7. Close the storage tank VAPOR valve.

8. Drain the RECOVERED OIL into the measuring bottle by opening the OIL DRAIN VALVE.

You may replace this amount of new oil back into the AC system.

NOTE: If the unit stops during recovery and when you press the RECOVER ON button the

CYLINDER FULL LIGHT glows, your tank is full and must be replaced. All new tanks

must be evacuated before use.
