NOTE: Regarding the above, the Manufacturer reminds the Customer that according to
international and national laws and regulations in force the goods are shipped at the sole risk of
the latter and, unless otherwise specified in the confirmation of order phase, the goods are
shipped uninsured. The Manufacturer therefore declines any and all responsibility in merit of
CLAIMS for damages due to shipping, loading and unloading, and unpacking.
The product for which repair under guarantee is requested must be shipped to the
manufacturer under the customer's exclusive responsibility and at the customer's exclusive
expense and risk. In order to avoid damage during shipping for repairs, the Manufacturer's
original packing must always be used.
The manufacturer declines any and all responsibility for damage to vehicles on which
recovery/recycling and recharging are performed if said damage is the result of unskilful
handling by the operator or of failure to observe the basic safety rules set forth in the instruction
manual. This warranty replaces and excludes any other warranty or guarantee that the seller is
required to provide under law or contract and defines all the customer's rights in regard of faults
and defects and/or scarce quality in the products as purchased.
The warranty will expire automatically at the end of the twelve-month period or whenever one
of the following occurs: failure to perform maintenance; use of improper maintenance
procedures; use of unsuitable lubricants and/or tracer fluids; inept or improper use; repairs
performed by unauthorized personnel and/or with non-original spare parts; damage caused by
shocks, fires, or other accidental events

GENERAL INFORMATION

Machine identification information is printed on the data plate on the rear of the machine (see
Figures 1 and 2). Overall machine dimensions:

Like any equipment with moving parts, the machine inevitably produces noise. The
construction system, paneling, and special provisions adopted by the Manufacturer are such
that during work the average noise level of the machine is less than 70 dB (A).

PRINCIPLES OF OPERATION

In a single series of operations, the machine permits recovering and recycling refrigerant with
no risk of release into the environment, and also permits purging the A/C system of humidity
and deposits contained in the oil. The machine is equipped with a built-in evaporator/separator
that removes oil and other impurities from the refrigerant recovered from the A/C system and
collect them in a container for that purpose. The fluid is then filtered and returned perfectly
recycled to the bottle installed on the machine. The machine also permits running certain
operational and leak tests on the A/C system.

SETUP

The machine is supplied fully assembled and tested. Referring to Figure 3, mount the hose
with the BLUE quick-connect coupling on the male threaded connector indicated by the BLUE
LOW PRESSURE symbol and the RED quick-connect coupling on the male threaded
connector indicated by the RED HIGH PRESSURE symbol. Referring to Figure 4, remove the
protection under the refrigerant scale as follows:
- Loosen the nut [2].
- Completely loosen the screw [1].
- Keep the screw [1], the nut [2], and the knurled washer [4] for possible future use.
