Refrigerant Recovery

1993 Honda Accord L4-2156cc 2.2L SOHCSECTION Refrigerant Recovery




WARNING:
- Keep away from open flames. The refrigerant, although nonflammable, will produce a poisonous gas if burned.
- Work in a well-ventilated area. Refrigerant evaporates quickly, and can force all the air out of a small enclosed area.


1. Connect a Refrigerant Recovery/Recycling System to the AC system.
2. Operate the Refrigerant Recovery/Recycling System according to the manufacturer's instructions.

IMPORTANT: Do not vent refrigerant to the atmosphere. The chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) used in conventional refrigerant (R-12) damage the earth's ozone layer. Always use UL-listed, refrigerant recovery/recycling equipment to extract the refrigerant before you open and A/C system to make repairs. Follow the equipment manufacturer's instructions.

CAUTION: Use only a R-12 refrigerant Recovery/Recycling System.
