THE SAFE WAY IS THE ONLY WAY!
This equipment must only be operated by authorized personnel with proper and
specific training in the use and handling of A2L refrigerants.
NOTE! If you are not a qualified refrigerant service technician, do not use this
1. The technician should always wear goggles and gloves when working on refrigeration
systems.
2. Be sure that any room where you are working is thoroughly ventilated.
3.
It MUST be ensured prior to use that the operating environment is FREE of hazardous
concentrations of gases/vapors/dusts and/or fibers.
4. The USE of an appropriate combustible gas leak detector or measuring device to ensure
the safety of the working environment is mandatory before operating the Promax
Refrigerant Recovery units
5. Always think before acting. Familiarity breeds carelessness and carelessness can be
harmful to your health or, worse, result in death.
6. Read the Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS) on all compounds with which you are likely
to come in contact. Read MSDS on refrigerant and refrigerant oil. Obtain MSDS sheets
from your A2L refrigerant supplier.
7. Never use oxygen when testing for leaks. Any oil in contact with oxygen under pressure will
form an explosive mixture.
8. Refrigerant systems are generally electrically driven and controlled. Be sure to disconnect
the refrigeration unit from the power source before servicing it.
9. Always store refrigerant containers in a cool, dry place.
10. Always open service and cylinder valves slowly. This allows quick control of the flow of
gasses if there is any danger. Once it is determined that there is no danger, the valves may
be opened fully.
11. Do not mix refrigerant in a system, a tank or anywhere else. Each type of refrigerant must
have its own tank, filters, etc.
12. If moisture enters the refrigerant system, it is likely to cause considerable damage. Keep
everything connected with the refrigeration system thoroughly dry and clean.
13.
To reduce the risk of fire, avoid the use of extension cords as they may overheat. If you
must use an extension cord iit should be a minimum of 14 AWG and not longer than 8m
(25'). The extension cord must be rolled out completely.This equipment should be used in
locations with mechanical ventilation providing at least four air changes per hour, or the
equipment should be located at least 45cm (18") above the floor. Do not use this equipment
in the vicinity of spilled or open containers of gasoline or any other flammable liquid
