PRINCIPLES OF OPERATION

In a single series of operations, the machine permits recovering and recycling refrigerant with
no risk of release into the environment, and also permits purging the A/C system of humidity
and deposits contained in the oil. The machine is equipped with a built-in evaporator/separator
that removes oil and other impurities from the refrigerant recovered from the A/C system and
collect them in a container for that purpose. The fluid is then filtered and returned perfectly
recycled to the bottle installed on the machine. The machine also permits running certain
operational and leak tests on the A/C system.

SETUP

The machine is supplied fully assembled and tested. Referring to Figure 3, mount the hose
with the BLUE quick-connect coupling on the male threaded connector indicated by the BLUE
LOW PRESSURE symbol and the hose with the RED quick-connect coupling on the male
threaded connector indicated by the RED HIGH PRESSURE symbol. Referring to Figure 4,
remove the protection under the refrigerant scale as follows:
- Loosen the nut [2].
- Completely loosen the screw [1].
- Keep the screw [1], the nut [2], and the knurled washer [4] for possible future use.
NOTE: In the event that the equipment has to be transported; the refrigerant bottle scale
should be locked in place as follows:
- Use two size 10 wrenches.
- Tighten the nut [2] almost completely onto the screw [1].
- Insert the knurled washer [4] onto the screw [1].
- Turn the screw [1] just a few times on the threaded bush [6].
- Switch the machine on.
- Tighten the screw [1] until the display signals ZERO availability.
- Tighten the nut [2] forcefully (using the second wrench to block the screw [1]).
- Check that the screw [1] is actually locked, if necessary repeat the locking operation
from the beginning.
