order with a set of instructions concerning the equipment that is
at hand and shall be suitable for the recovery of flammable
refrigerants. In addition, a set of calibrated weighing scales shall
be available and in good working order. Hoses shall be
complete with leak-free disconnect couplings and in good
condition. Before using the recovery machine, check that it is in
satisfactory working order, has been properly maintained and that
any associated electrical components are sealed to prevent
ignition in the event of a refrigerant release. Consult
manufacturer if in doubt. The recovered refrigerant shall be
returned to the refrigerant supplier in the correct recovery cylinder,
and the relevant Waste trransfer note arranged. do not mix
refrigerants in recovery units and especially not in cylinders. if
compressors or compressor oils are to be removed, ensure that
they have been evacuated to an acceptable level to make
certain that flammable refrigerant does not remain within the
lubricant. The evacuation process shall be carried out prior to
returning the compressor to the suppliers. Only electric heating
to the compressor body shall be employed to accelerate this
process.
When oil is drained from a system, it shall be carried out safely.
INSTALLATION
• After removing the packaging, check that the appliance is intact; if in doubt, do not
use it and contact a qualified professional. The packaging elements (plastic bags,
polystyrene, metal tacks, etc.) must not be left in reach of children or irresponsible
people, as they can be dangerous. They must be disposed of according to current
regulations.
• Before connecting the equipment, make certain that the plate information (voltage,
etc.) correspond to the characteristics of the electricity distribution network. This
appliance must be connected to a socket that has an effective earthing device (the
manufacturer declines any liability that may arise from failure to comply with this
rule). Check that no other appliances with a high energy consumption are
connected to the power supply, to avoid overloading and the risk of fire. In general,
the use of adapters, multiple sockets and/or extension leads is not recommended.
