Refrigerant Recovery

Federal regulations require that the discharging of R-134a refrigerant be performed by a licensed technician using only an approved recovery and/or recycling system. Do not discharge R-134a refrigerant into the atmosphere. When discharging the refrigerant system, always follow the recovery or recycling system equipment manufacturer's instructions.

DISCHARGING THE SYSTEM
Use the refrigerant recovery unit to discharge refrigerant gas from the system.

NOTE: Refer to the refrigerant recovery and recycling unit instruction manual for operation of the unit.
