SETUP AND OPERATION
GETTING STARTED
Review the full contents of this manual before operating the F6-DP�
Failure to follow proper safety precautions can result in personal injury or death�
Do not use the F6-DP unless properly trained in the recovery process�
1
Install the included filter on the inlet� F6-DP has a female refrigerant flare fitting,
and connects with male flare fittings� Ensure the protective plugs are removed
from the filter�
2
Attach the hoses to the filter�
Do not use an adapter fitting in place of a filter� Use of an adapter fitting can
damage the valves and will void the warranty�
3
Attach a hose from the discharge valve to the recovery tank� Connect other hoses
between system components as shown in Figure 1 on page 9�
4
Connect the AC power cord to a circuit protected by an appropriately sized circuit
breaker� If an extension cord is absolutely necessary, make sure it meets the
following conditions:
• Length is not excessive
• Contains a safety ground wire
• Wire size 14 AWG or larger for 115 V (ac) or 1.0 mm2 or larger for 230 V (ac)
Overfilled tanks can rupture and explode� When operating in standard recovery or push-pull
mode, it is possible to overfill the tank� Use a refrigerant scale to ensure that the tank does not
exceed 80% of its capacity by weight� Check the tank weight before transporting�
Do not allow the F6-DP to recover large amounts of liquid too quickly�
NOTE:
During the refrigerant recovery process, when a significant amount of liquid is
present and enters the recovery machine too quickly, it can sometimes be
referred to as a “liquid slug” or “slugging�”
A liquid slug can activate the High Pressure shutoff and prolong the refrigerant recovery
process� If the F6-DP recovers large amounts of liquid too quickly (or a liquid slug is present),
a loud knocking will sound from the compressor�
Compressor damage caused by recovering a large amount of liquid too quickly is not covered
by the compressor warranty�
Monitor the recovery process carefully� If the compressor begins to knock:
• Throttle the INLET valve clockwise, or
• Adjust the MANIFOLD gauge valves until the knocking stops.
