INSTRUCTIONS MANUAL

END-OF-LIFE

The symbol on the right indicates that in accordance with Directive 2002/96/EC the
machine may not be disposed of as ordinary municipal waste but must be
delivered to a specialized center for separation and disposal of WEEE (Waste
Electrical and Electronic Equipment) or be returned to the dealer in case of
purchase of a new machine. Current legislation provides severe sanctions in the
case of disposal of WEEE into the environment. If improperly used or disposed of
into the environment, electrical and electronic equipment can release substances dangerous
for the environment and for human health.

BATTERY DISPOSAL

The machine uses an electronics card containing a Nickel-metal hydride (NiMH) battery (ref.:
bt, see Fig.12). When discharged, it must be removed by expert personnel trained in machine
demolition.

SAFETY RULES

The machine is designed for use in recovering the R134a refrigerant fluid used in the air-
conditioning (A/C) systems of motor vehicles. The MACHINE is designed to be used by
qualified personnel only; moreover, it can be used correctly only if the operator has read this
manual and is aware of the basic safety information contained herein, including the following.
Wear protective gloves and goggles. Do not expose the machine to direct sunlight or rain. Use
only in well-ventilated work areas. Before performing any operation, check the vehicle use and
maintenance manual for the type of refrigerant fluid used by the A/C system. Do not smoke in
proximity to the machine while it is in operation.
Do not use the machine in proximity to sources of heat, open flames, or sparks. Check
whenever the engine is turned off that the ignition key is turned to the full OFF position. Always
close all the valves on the machine before connecting it to the A/C system of the vehicle.
Connect only the machine hose supplied with the RED quick-connect coupling to the high-
pressure branch of the A/C system. Connect only the machine hose supplied with the BLUE
quick-connect coupling to the low-pressure branch of the A/C system. Keep the connection
hoses away from moving parts and rotating elements such as cooling fans, alternators, etc.
Keep the connection hoses away from hot objects and elements such as engine exhaust
pipes, radiators, etc. Fill the A/C system only with the quantity of refrigerant recommended by
the manufacturer. Never exceed said quantity. Check the oil levels at the beginning of each
operation. Always top up with the correct quantity of oil. Before connecting the machine to the
electrical supply, check that voltage and frequency match the values shown into the CE label.
Never fill the bottle to more than 80% of maximum capacity in order to leave an
expansion chamber for absorbing any pressure increases.
Never touch the valves on the refrigerant bottle installed on-board the machine. Dispose of the
oil extracted from the A/C system and from the vacuum pump in suitable containers for used
oils. Replace the filters punctually at the prescribed replacement times. Use only filters
recommended by the manufacturer. Take care never to use the vacuum pump oil in the A/C
system, or vice-versa. Failure to observe any of the above safety precautions will invalidate all
forms of warranty on the machine.

PRECAUTIONS FOR HANDLING AND USE OF REFRIGERANT FLUIDS

Refrigerant fluids expand to the gaseous state in standard environmental conditions. In order
that they may be shipped and used they must be compressed into suitable bottles. We
therefore recommend observing all the general precautions applicable to handling of
pressurized containers. In the case of R134a in particular, we suggest the following special
precautions. Avoid inhaling highly concentrated vapors even for short periods of time, since
such vapors can cause loss of consciousness or death. R134a is not flammable, but if the
