Refrigerant Recycling

1. Turn main power switch On.
2. Open both valves on recovery tank.
3. Turn Recycle Start switch On. The amber Recycle On light will come on and the refrigerant pump will start.
4. Refrigerant will be seen going through the Moisture Indicator at start up. If there is a sufficient supply of refrigerant, bubbles will clear after a few seconds. When bubbles clear from Moisture Indicator, refrigerant pump is operating at maximum efficiency.
5. Allow station to operate until dot in center of Moisture Indicator turns green. Moisture Indicator Dot should change to a shade indicated on the reference decal. Always run recycling system a minimum of 30 minutes. If Moisture Indicator starts out yellow, it could take as long as two hours to turn green, depending on moisture content of refrigerant.
6. Turn Off station when recycling is complete.
