Operating Hints

1. When using the recovery station in conjunction with a charging station, attach the center port hose of the manifold gage set to the inlet port of the ACR station. Then follow the normal operating procedures for the recovery/recycling station.

2. When using the ACR station in conjunction with an automatic charging station, attach the exhaust hose to the inlet of the ACR station. On automatic A/C service stations, a hole has been added to the rear of the cabinet for convenient access to the exhaust hose. On older style stations, you must open the front doors of the cabinet to reach the exhaust hose.

- After attaching the exhaust hose to the ACR station, depress the "Main Power" switch on the automatic charging station. Then depress the "Exhaust" switch. Then follow the normal operating procedures for the ACR station.


3. Air is automatically vented from the recovery tank during recycling. This feature eliminates the need to "purge" hoses before recovering the refrigerant.

4. Operating the engine with the A/C off during recovery may reduce the recovery time by increasing the temperature in the accumulator area.

5. To help prevent the escape of refrigerant to the atmosphere, the ACR can be attached to a "Dial-A-Charge" cylinder top vent port when filling the cylinder.

6. Always check the ACR station for residual oil from the previous recovery, see Step 5 in Refrigerant Recovery.
