Notice
RefTec International, Inc. urges that all HVAC servicers working on RefTec equipment or any manufac-
turerís products, make every effort to eliminate, if possible, or vigorously reduce the emission of CFC,
HCFC, and HFC refrigerants to the atmosphere resulting from installation, operation, routine maintenance,
or major service of this equipment. Always act in a responsible manner to conserve refrigerants for con-
tinued use even when acceptable alternatives are available. Conservation and emission reduction can be
accomplished by following recommended service and safety procedures.

WARNING!!
To avoid injury or death due to inhalation of, or skin exposure to refrigerant,
closely follow all safety procedures described in the Material Safety Data
Sheet for the refrigerant and to all labels on refrigerant containers. Certain
procedures common to refrigeration system service may expose personnel to
liquid or vaporous refrigerant

There may still be a small, residual amount of
refrigerant in EVAC. This amount must be re
moved if you want to change to a different type
of refrigerant. An explanation of how to remove
this residual amount of refrigerant is explained
in next section.

REFRIGERANT CLEARING PRO-

CEDURES:

NOTE:
After recovery is complete and all refrigerant has
been removed from refrigerant lines EVAC may
still have a very small amount of residual refriger-
ant in the unit. To remove this refrigerant, con-
nect an evacuated recovery tank to both the
compressor suction and discharge service 1/4î
access valves on top of compressor. Allow
remaining refrigerant to be pulled into tank. This
procedure needs to be performed whenever a dif-
ferent type of refrigerant is going to be recovered.
In addition, the filter core and oil will need to be
changed whenever changing types of refrigerant.

CHANGING REPLACEABLE CORES:

Make sure you replace disposable filter cores
after each recovery job. Failure to use new cores
on each and every recovery may result in dam-
age to the open drive compressor.

Remove the inlet filter-drier unit cover by

removing the cover bolts, remove old element,
inspect and clean where necessary. Install new
filter-drier element and the cover gasket.
Replace the filter-drier tank cover and torque the
cover bolts to 14-to-16 ft.-lbs.

Driers and compressor fluid are available from RefTec. Please

call 1-800-214-4883.
