WARNING: Use only authorized 23 kg (50-pound) refillable refrigerant tanks (J 39500-50). Use of other tanks could cause personal injury and void the warranty.

NOTICE: Refrigerant-134a systems have special fittings (per SAE specifications) to avoid cross-contamination with Refrigerant-12 systems. Do not attempt to adapt this unit to Refrigerant-12 systems as severe system failure will result.
