OPERATING YOUR RG6000-E
Procedure for Normal System Recovery
1. Inspect the RG6000-E thoroughly to insure that it is in good operating condition.
2. Connect the RG6000-E to the service manifold and system as shown in figures on
page 8. Make sure all hose connections are correct and tight.
3. Open the liquid port of the recovery cylinder (always open valves slowly to check
hoses and connections for leaks).
4. Make sure the Recover/Purge valve is set on Recover.
5. Open the Outlet port of the RG6000-E.
6. Open the liquid port on the manifold gauge set; opening the liquid port will remove
the liquid from the system first, greatly reducing the recovery time (after the liquid
has been removed, open the manifold vapor port to finish evacuating the system).
7. Connect your RG6000-E to a 230 V 50Hz outlet.
8. Switch the POWER switch to the ON position. This will start the compressor (it may
be necessary, under certain circumstances, to press this switch more than once to
start the compressor).
9. Slowly open the Inlet port on the RG6000-E.
a) If the compressor starts to knock, slowly throttle back the Inlet valve
until the knocking stops (liquid hammering).
b) If the Inlet valve was throttled back, it should be fully opened once the
liquid has been removed from the system (the manifold vapor port
should also be opened at this time).
10. Run until your minimum required vacuum is achieved.
a) Close the manifold vapor and liquid ports.
b) Close the RG6000-E Inlet port.
c) Shut unit off and proceed with the Self Purge procedure on the next
page.
11. Always purge the RG6000-E after each use. Failure to purge the remaining
refrigerant from the RG6000-E could
result in the acidic degradation of
internal components, ultimately
causing premature failure of the unit.
CAUTION
When pumping liquid, do not allow the
RG6000-E to operate with the Inlet
valve too far open, causing the
compressor to knock. Doing so may
stall the compressor.
