J 38100-C System Description and Precautions

RECYCLING, ADDING OIL, EVACUATING AND RECHARGING PROCEDURES
The air conditioning refrigerant recovery and recycling station (J 38100-C) is designed to be compatible with charging station J 23500-01 or its equivalent. The recovery and recycling operations are performed separately with the capability to recycle 13.6 kg (30 lb.) in one operation. Two 13.6-kg (30-lb.) capacity reusable tanks are included with the station.


CAUTION: Always wear goggles and wrap a clean cloth around fittings and/or connections when doing work that involves opening the refrigeration system. If liquid refrigerant comes into contact with the skin or eyes, Injury may result.


NOTICE: The air conditioning refrigerant recovery and recycling station meets UL� standards for moisture and contamination removal. Recovery systems which cannot meet these standards are not approved for warranty repairs. Reuse of moisture or particulate contaminated refrigerant will result in premature compressor and other component failure.

- Before removing and replacing any of the air conditioning refrigeration lines or components, the refrigerant must be completely recovered.

- Always use service valve and pressure gage sets during evacuation and charging procedures.

- Do not charge while compressor system is hot.

- Always check the air conditioning system for pressure with a manifold gage set to determine if refrigerant is present in the system. Performing recovery on an air conditioning system which is open to the atmosphere as a result of a leak would allow the recovery station to pull only air into the tank.



CAUTION: Never remove a gage line from its adapter when the line is connected to the air conditioning system. Always remove the line adapter from the service fitting to disconnect a line. Do not remove the charging hose at the gage set while attached to the service low-side fitting. This will result in complete discharge of the system due to the depressed low-side service fitting and may cause personal Injury due to escaping refrigerant.
