COMBUSTIBLE/FLAMMABLE GAS WARNING: For your safety, DO
NOT use this device to recover refrigerants which are rated as
combustible/flammable gases (e.g. ASHRAE - A2 or A3 rated
refrigerants).
WARNING: Inhalation of high concentrations of refrigerant vapors is
harmful and may cause heart irregularities, unconsciousness, or death.
Deliberate inhalation of refrigerants is extremely dangerous and may
cause death. Vapor reduces the oxygen available for breathing and is
heavier than air. Decomposition products are hazardous. Liquid contact
can cause frostbite. All refrigerant containers, equipment, and hoses
are under high pressure.
WARNING: Before starting the unit you MUST OPEN the outlet port on
the Stinger and open the port to the recovery tank. Read entire
operating instruction manual before use. Failure to open the outlet port
will cause permanent damage to the unit and void the warranty.
CAUTION: All refrigerant hoses, recovery tanks, refrigerant lines, the
STINGER unit, and other vessels containing refrigerants should be
handled at all times as if under high pressure.
GENERAL SAFETY GUIDELINES:
xAvoid breathing high concentrations of vapors.
xUse with sufficient ventilation to keep operator exposure below
recommended limits, especially in enclosed and low lying areas.
xAvoid contact of liquid with eyes and prolonged skin exposure.
xWear safety goggles and protective gloves.
xMake sure the power switch is in the OFF position before plugging this
equipment into an AC power source.
xUnplug unit before servicing; otherwise, an electrical shock hazard will be
present when the unit is disassembled.
xUse caution when connecting or disconnecting hoses. Improper usage
may result in refrigerant burns (frostbite). If a significant refrigerant leak
occurs, proceed immediately to a well-ventilated area.
xDo not apply open flame or heat unit above 125 qF.
