Safety instructions

All safety instructions are to be read thoroughly before
using the RG8.0 / RG4.0 and they must be observed.
i
If you are not a qualified refrigerant service techni-
cian, do not use this equipment.
i
Wear proper Personnel Protective Equipment (PPE)
when working on A/C or refrigeration systems.
R
The RG8.0 / RG4.0 must be used for the intended
purpose.
R
Before turning off the RG8.0 / RG4.0, ensure that
recovery is complete.
R
Refrigerant extracted from the A/C or refrigeration
system might be contaminated with moisture, lubri-
cant, dirt and traces of other gases. Use the filter
drier supplied with the RG8.0 / RG4.0 to avoid con-
tamination.
R
Ensure that you use the RG8.0 / RG4.0 only with the
refrigerant types listed in chapter 10. Also, ensure
that refrigerants do not mix. The RG8.0 / RG4.0 does
not have any refrigerant identifier system and will
not shut off if refrigerants are mixed or, if refrigerant
types other than those listed in chapter 10 are used.
R
Observe the symbol on the packaging box.
Always ensure that the RG8.0 / RG4.0 is transported
in the recommended position.
R
There are no additional safety provisions for protect-
ing the RG8.0 / RG4.0 against damage in the event of
natural calamities like earthquakes, fires, floods etc.
R
After each use, the RG8.0 / RG4.0 needs to be
purged. Make sure there is no residual refrigerant left
in the RG8.0 / RG4.0.
R
Failure to purge the residual refrigerant from the
RG8.0 / RG4.0 could result in:
$
Refrigerant mixing on the next use of (the
RG8.0 / RG4.0.) equipment.
$
The acidic degradation of internal components,
ultimately causing premature failure of the unit.
R
Before the use of the RG8.0 / RG4.0, make sure there
is free air flow through the louvres. Blockage of lou-
vres may overheat the motor and might damage the
RG8.0 / RG4.0.
R
Before using the RG8.0 / RG4.0 read the Material
Safety Data Sheets (MSDS) on all the compounds of
the refrigerants and refrigerant oils being used.
R
If moisture enters the refrigerant system, it is likely
to cause damage. Keep everything connected with
the refrigerant system thoroughly dry and clean.

R
The RG8.0 / RG4.0 should be used in locations with
mechanical ventilation providing at least four air
changes per hour. Otherwise, the equipment should
be placed at least 50 cm above the floor.
R
To reduce the risk of fire, avoid the use of extension
cords as they may overheat. If you must use an
extension cord, it should be a minimum of 14 AWG
and maximum length of the wire should be 7.5 m.
R
Always connect to a properly grounded electrical
supply.
Danger: Risk of injury due to high
pressure.
If valves are opened quickly, high pressure
refrigerant can escape and cause frostbite/
injury.
¶
Open service and tank valves slowly.
R
Use the outlet pressure gauge and weighing scale to
check and avoid pressure build up. All connections
to the RG8.0 / RG4.0 should be made via a manifold
gauge set in order to properly control flow and moni-
tor pressures.
R
Always open service and tank valves slowly. This al-
lows quick control of the flow of refrigerants if there
is any danger. Once it is determined that there is no
danger, the valves may be opened fully.
R
Avoid refrigerant coming into contact with skin. The
low boiling point of refrigerants can cause frostbite.
In case of contact with skin, remove affected cloth-
ing immediately and rinse the affected area of skin
with plenty of water.
Do not breathe in refrigerant or oil vapours.
The vapours can irritate the eyes and the
breathing passage of the nose. If liquid re-
frigerant/oil gets into the eyes, rinse the eyes
thoroughly with water for 15 minutes. Seek
medical attention, even if the eyes do not hurt.
Do not mix air with refrigerant.
Some mixtures of air and refrigerant are flam-
mable at high pressure. These mixtures are
potentially hazardous and can cause fires or
explosions resulting in damage to property and
injury to people.
