SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

Read this manual before using F6-DP to become familiar with its specifications and operation�
Review the Safety Data Sheets (SDS) and the Temperature/Vapor Pressure information for the
proper safety and handling requirements regarding the refrigerants being recovered�
Wear gloves, eye protection and foot protection when working on refrigeration systems�
Refrigerant vapor can be hazardous and its by-products can be lethal�
Motors and switches can generate sparks and can be especially dangerous in
flammable environments� Work only in well-ventilated areas, with mechanical ventilation
that provides at least four air change rates per hour� Do not work in an enclosed
area without appropriate safety equipment� It may be necessary to install a separate
circulation fan�
Never use oxygen for leak detection� Oxygen can become an explosive mixture in the
presence of oil and pressure� Perform leak detection in accordance with recommended
practice only� For best results, use a refrigerant leak detector, such as JB Industries
Aurora or Prowler�
Never mix refrigerants� Use separate storage cylinders, hoses, and filters for each type
of refrigerant recovered� Store refrigerants in a cool, dry place�
Never overfill a storage container� Overfilled tanks can rupture and explode� Use a
refrigerant scale such as JB Industries ATLAS to prevent overfill�
When opening service or cylinder valves, open slowly, to ensure all connections are
secure and free of danger�
Disconnect power before moving or servicing F6-DP�
The risk of electric shock and exposure to hot compressor parts is possible if the
F6-DP covers are removed� F6-DP should only be opened by a qualified technician
who has been trained in basic electronics and refrigeration�
Use only the power cord supplied by JB Industries� If the cord is lost or damaged,
contact JB Industries for information on obtaining a replacement�

high current draw� If an extension cord is necessary, use the shortest possible length
and only size 14 AWG or larger for 115 V (ac) or 1�00 mm2 or larger
for 230 V (ac)�
Do not use F6-DP near open containers of gasoline or other flammable liquids�
