I.General Use and Cautions

^ The ACR-3 is a recovery and recycling station, only. The ACR-3 is not a recharging station.
^ The recovery pump is not a vacuum pump. A separate vacuum pump must be used to evacuate before recharging.
^ Recover the refrigerant from several vehicles before you recycle. There must be a minimum of a 8 lbs. of refrigerant in the tank to recycle.
^ Use the 30 lb. containers which come with the ACR-3 and are labeled, "Refillable Refrigerant Tank."
^ After every R-12 recovery, purge the oil from the ACR-3 to relieve head pressure in the oil separator and to determine how much oil to add back to the A/C system.
^ Before you recover R-12, check the tank and see how full it is. If the tank is almost full, recycle and, prior to recovery, replace the tank with the back-up tank initially supplied with the unit. If the tank fills during a job, it will shut off.
^ Do not remove the tank with recovered refrigerant that has not been "recycled." In this context, "recycled" means to remove moisture from the recovered refrigerant. Recovered refrigerant is not ready to reuse until it has been "recycled." Once the refrigerant is recycled, it is ready to be used to charge vehicle A/C systems.
^ Recycled refrigerant is as good as new. Recycled R-12 is approved for use by all major compressor manufacturers.
^ If the recycling feature is not functioning properly, contact Kent-Moore at (800) 345-2233.
