IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
The warnings, precautions, and instructions discussed in this instruction manual cannot cover all possible
conditions and situations that may occur. It must be understood by the operator that common sense and
caution are factors which cannot be built into this product, but must be supplied by the operator.
To avoid electric shock, the power cord protective grounding conductor must be connected to a
properly grounded AC outlet.
Use a proper A.C. outlet for the unit to operate correctly. See unit ID plate on back of unit. Extension
cords are not recommended. If an extension cord must be used, use: 16 AWG for cords up to 50’,
and 14 AWG for cords greater than 50’ but less than 100’.
Connect the power cord to a properly grounded outlet. DO NOT remove or bypass the grounding pin.
Electric shock and fire can cause injury or death.
Risk of expelling refrigerant under pressure. Wear safety goggles and protective gloves, If any
refrigerant gets into eyes, flush with water and seek a doctor’s aid immediately, even though
irritation may cease.
Prevent refrigerant from contacting the skin. Expelled refrigerate can cause injury.
Risk of explosion. DO NOT use compressed shop air for leak detection or to pressure test a system
containing refrigerant. Refrigerant can form combustible mixtures at pressures above atmospheric and
with air concentrations greater than 60% by volume.
DO NOT heat a container of refrigerant above 125°F (52°C).
DO NOT use this equipment in the vicinity of spilled or opened containers of gasoline.
Avoid breathing air conditioning refrigerant and lubricant vapor or mist.
DO NOT allow refrigerant to contact open
ame or b e d rawn into a running engine. T his can cause
refrigerant to become poisonous phosgene gas.
Use ECO to remove refrigerant from air conditioning systems. Exposure can irritate eyes, nose and
throat.
Engine systems can malfunction expelling fuel, oil vapors, hot steam, hot toxic exhaust gases, acid,
refrigerant and other debris. Wear safety goggles and protective gloves, user and bystander. Engine
systems that malfunction can cause injury.
Engine compartment contains electrical connections and hot or moving parts. Keep yourself, test leads,
clothing and other objects clear of electrical connections and hot or moving engine parts.
DO NOT place test equipment or tools on fenders or other places in the engine compartment. Contact
with electrical connections and hot or moving parts can cause injury.
Service hoses can not withstand high temperatures or severe mechanical stress. Keep the service hoses
away from moving or hot engine parts. Service hoses can split or burst causing injury.
Removing tubing assemblies from the pump may discharge refrigerant. Wear safety goggles and
protective gloves, user and bystander. Refrigerant may cause injury.
