STARTUP & SAFE OPERATION ' Do not use a damaged unit. Check for shipping damage and place a claim with carrier if damage is discovered. ' Return the Warranty Card to activate technical support service and warranty coverage. ' The AC2860 should not be operated or serviced by any person who has not read all the contents of this manual. ' This manual describes normal operation and maintenance for the AC2860.
INTRODUCTION TO THE AC2860 The AC2860 is a complete refrigerant management center featuring state-of-the-art electronic control with digital weight scale measuring of refrigerant. Operation of the AC2860 is intuitive and very easy to master. Following is an overview of the operation and features of the AC2860: RECOVER (RECYCLE) Refrigerant is recovered from the A/C, impurities (particulates, oil, moisture and air) are removed and the refrigerant is stored in the internal cylinder.

KEYPAD FUNCTIONS Scroll Key Press to scroll through function options or to increase numeric values shown on the display. Cursor Key Press to move flashing cursor on the display prior to numeric entries. Go Key Press to confirm data entry and continue. Stop Key Press to halt program sequence. Units Key Press to change unit of measure for weight displays. - CAUTION Always use fingers to operate keypad. Use of sharp objects will cause damage.
START-UP 1. Turn Function Valves and Purge Valves on AC2860 to OFF. Connect yellow hoses of gauge manifolds to ports on rear of AC2860. Close high and low valves on gauge manifolds. 2. Connect red and blue hoses from the gauge manifold, for the refrigerant to be processed, to A/C system and open hose valves. 3. Connect power cord of AC2860 to properly grounded power source. Avoid using an extension cord.
RECOVER (RECYCLE) 1. Turn Function Valve on AC2860 to RECOVER. 2. Open high and low valves on gauge manifold. 3. The display will show the weight of refrigerant in the AC2860 cylinder and indicate the unit is recycling. 4. When the A/C system pressure is in a vacuum the display will show RECYCLE COMPLETE CHECK PRESSURES. Wait two minutes to see if the pressure in the A/C increases (due to liquid refrigerant vaporizing). The AC2860 will automatically begin recycling again if the pressure rises above zero. 5.
VACUUM 1. MAKE SURE THE GAUGE MANIFOLD PRESSURES ARE ZERO OR LESS. If not, a recover procedure must be performed before starting the vacuum procedure. 2. Turn Function Valve on AC2860 to VACUUM. 3. Open high and low valves on gauge manifold. 4. The display will show the weight of refrigerant in the AC2860 cylinder and indicate the unit is vacuuming. 5. At the end of the desired vacuum time, press the stop key and close the high and low valves on the gauge manifold. 6. Turn Function Valve on AC2860 to OFF.
MAINTENANCE The AC2860 will provide many years of reliable service if properly maintained. Following is a checklist of items which will ensure the AC2860 performs at peak efficiency and presents an image to your customers that your shop performs high tech A/C service. 1. Use tool tray for storage of tools and accessory adapters. 2. Store gauge manifolds and hoses properly when not in use. Avoid hanging hoses over the top of the unit. 3. Keep the exterior surfaces clean.
