1. When using the recovery station in conjunction with a charging station, attach center port hose of manifold gauge set to inlet port of recovery station, then follow normal operating procedures for recovery/recycling station.
2. When using recovery station in conjunction with an automatic charging station, attach exhaust hose to inlet of recovery station.
3. On automatic A/C service stations, a hole has been added at rear of cabinet for access to exhaust hose.
4. On older type stations, open front doors of cabinet to reach exhaust hose.
5. After attaching exhaust hose to recovery station, depress main power switch on automatic charging station. Depress exhaust switch. Then follow normal operating procedures for recovery station.
6. Air is automatically vented from recovery tank during recycling. This feature eliminated the need to purge hoses before recovering refrigerant.
7. Operating engine with A/C Off during recovery may reduce recovery time.
8. To help prevent escape of refrigerant to the atmosphere, the recovery station can be attached to a Dial A Charge cylinder top vent port when filling the cylinder.
