2. Safety instructions

iRepair may only be carried out by

customer service staff trained and instructed

by Bosch Automotive Service Solutions GmbH

or organizations authorized by

Bosch Automotive Service Solutions GmbH. Opening

or modification of the units by unauthorized persons

will invalidate all warranty entitlements.

Read and observe all safety instructions thoroughly be-

fore servicing the RG8.0 / RG4.0.

RWear proper Personal Protective Equipment (PPE)

when servicing the RG8.0 / RG4.0.

RAvoid refrigerant coming into contact with skin. The

low boiling point of some refrigerants can cause

frostbite. In case of contact with skin, remove

affected clothing immediately and rinse the affected

area of skin with plenty of water.

RDisconnect power supply before moving or servicing

the RG8.0 / RG4.0.

RDo not exceed the torque values during repair.

RIf moisture enters the refrigerant system, it is likely

to cause damage. Cover the ports of RG8.0 / RG4.0

with caps after service.

Do not breathe in refrigerant or oil vapors. The

vapors can irritate the eyes and the breathing

passage of the nose. If liquid refrigerant/oil

gets into the eyes, rinse the eyes thoroughly

with water for 15 minutes. Then, seek medical

attention, even if the eyes do not hurt.

Do not mix air with refrigerant.

Some mixtures of air and refrigerant are highly

flammable at high pressure. These mixtures

are potentially hazardous and can cause fires

or explosions resulting in damage to property

and injury to people.

Danger: Risk of fire or explosion

Flammable refrigerants used.

¶Repair should be performed by customer

service staff trained and instructed by

Bosch.

¶Do not puncture refrigerant tubing.

¶Dispose of flammable refrigerants in

accordance with federal or local regula-

tions.

When the RG8.0 / RG4.0 is functioning, do

not open or unplug connectors, receptacles or

components in the hydraulic path.

Danger: Risk of electric shock

Improper electrical connections during

repair causes fatal electric shock. Conse-

quently, the RG8.0 / RG4.0 might also be

damaged.

¶Wear appropriate PPE during repair.

¶Refer to the electrical connection

diagram for completing the electrical

connections.

Danger: Risk of injury due to high pres-

sure

Pressurized refrigerant in the RG8.0 / RG4.0

will escape and cause injury.

¶Observe the pressure gauges. Ensure

that the reading is 0 before proceeding

with repair. Else purge the refrigerant till

the pressure drops to 0 (refer

chapter 3.2).

¶Wear appropriate PPE during repair.

Danger: Risk of electric shock

Touching live parts in the RG8.0 / RG4.0

causes fatal electric shock.

¶Switch off the mains supply and discon-

nect the power cable from the mains

supply before proceeding with repair.

¶Wear appropriate PPE during repair.

Danger: Risk of burns

Touching hot parts in the RG8.0 / RG4.0

causes burns.

¶Wait till the surface of heated parts cool

down before repair.

¶Wear appropriate PPE during repair.

3.1 Preparations for repair

!Do not perform repair without executing the steps

listed in this chapter.

1. Ensure that the knob positions are set as follows:

$Black knob to RECOVER position

$Red and blue knobs to CLOSED position

2. Observe the pressure gauges. Ensure that the read-

ing is 0. Else purge the residual refrigerant in the

RG8.0 / RG4.0 (refer chapter 3.2).

If the purging is successful, the reading on the

pressure gauges should be 0. Else, replace the

pressure gauges (refer chapter 6.5).

3. Switch off the mains supply to the RG8.0 / RG4.0.

4. Disconnect the power cable from the mains supply.

5. Disconnect the other end of the power cable from

the power socket of the RG8.0 / RG4.0.

Fig. 1: Valve positions for purging residual refrigerant

1. Ensure that the inlet control valve of the

RG8.0 / RG4.0 is in the CLOSED position.

2. Ensure that the outlet control valve is open and con-

nected to a recovery tank with the same refrigerant

as in the unit.

3. Ensure that the RG8.0 / RG4.0 is powered off.

4. Turn the recovery / purge (Black) knob of

RG8.0 / RG4.0 to PURGE position (pointed down-

wards) as shown in Fig. 1

5. Start the RG8.0 / RG4.0 and slowly turn the inlet

(Blue) control valve of the RG8.0 / RG4.0 to PURGE

position as shown in Fig. 1.

The RG8.0 / RG4.0 starts purging automatically.

6. Run until desired vacuum is achieved or until low

pressure switch shuts off the RG8.0 / RG4.0.

7. Close the valve on the recovery tank, then the outlet

control valve of the RG8.0 / RG4.0.

8. Power off the RG8.0 / RG4.0.

9. Turn the inlet control valve to the closed position.

10. Close all hose shut-off valves, then disconnect and

store the hoses.

3.3 Instructions for replacement of red,

blue and black knobs

Follow these instructions when you remove the red,

blue and black knobs during repair. Only one of the

knobs and the corresponding valve is depicted in the

following illustration. The instructions are applicable for

all the knobs.

2 Indent on ball valve

1. Before fixing the knob to the ball valve, notice the

indent on the ball valve (Fig. 2, Pos. 2).

2. Fix the knob such that the direction indicator

(Fig. 2, Pos. 1) of the knob is latitudinally opposite

to the indent.

5. Troubleshooting

5.1 Basic operational test

iBy performing the basic operational test, you can

validate normal and correct operation of all features.

Refer to the table following this procedure if you

encounter any problems.

1. Ensure that there is no residual refrigerant left in the

RG8.0 / RG4.0. If there is residual refrigerant, refer

to chapter 3.2 for purging residual refrigerant.

2. With nothing connected to the RG8.0 / RG4.0 and

recovery / purge valve (black) in the RECOVER posi-

tion, open the inlet control valve (blue) and outlet

control valve (red) valves.

3. Start the RG8.0 / RG4.0 and close the inlet valve.

The RG8.0 / RG4.0 should shut-off due to Low

Pressure (LP) cut-out. Upon opening the inlet

valve, the RG8.0 / RG4.0 should restart.

4. Upon closing the outlet valve, the RG8.0 / RG4.0

should begin to pump up pressure on the High Side

(red) gauge.

When the pressure reaches approximately

38.5 bar, the RG8.0 / RG4.0 should shut off due

to High Pressure (HP) safety switch.

5. Slowly open the outlet valve and the RG8.0 / RG4.0

should restart when pressure drops below 28 bar.

Else, replace the circuit breaker.

5.2.2 Of HP / LP switch

1. Execute the steps listed in chapter 3.1.

2. Unfasten the screws of the LH and RH enclosures

(Fig. 3, Pos. 6, 18) / (Fig. 4, Pos. 6, 19).

3. Disconnect the electrical connections to the HP / LP

switch.

4. Using a multimeter, check the continuity between

the terminals of the HP / LP switch.

5. If continuity exists, the HP / LP switch is functional.

5.2.3 Of start relay (for RG8.0)

1. Execute the steps listed in chapter 3.1.

2. Unfasten the screws of the LH and RH enclosures

(Fig. 3, Pos. 6, 18) / (Fig. 4, Pos. 6, 19).
