Initial And Operational Setup

The J 39500 air conditioning refrigerant recovery, recycling and recharging (ACR4) system removes Refrigerant-134a from the vehicle A/C system, recycles and recharges all with one hook-up.

Single pass filtering during recovery cycle, plus automatic multiple pass filtering during evacuation cycle assures constant supply of clean/dry refrigerant for A/C system charging.

NOTICE: R-12 and R-134a require separate and non-interchangeable sets of recovery, recycling, and recharging equipment, because the refrigerants and lubricants are not compatible and cannot be mixed even in the smallest amounts. Do not attempt to use one set of equipment for both R-12 and R-134a, as all equipment contains residual amounts of refrigerant and/or lubricant, which will result in contamination, and damage to the recovery/recycle equipment. Adapters to convert from one size fitting to the other must never be used; refrigerant/lubricant contamination will occur and system failure may result.

CAUTION: Use only authorized 23 kg (50-pound) refillable refrigerant tanks (J39500-50). Use of other tanks could cause personal Injury and void the warranty.

NOTICE: Refrigerant-134a systems have special fittings (per SAE specifications) to avoid cross-contamination with Refrigerant-12 systems. Do not attempt to adapt this unit to Refrigerant-12 systems as severe system failure will result.

Connect high-side (red) and low-side (blue) hoses to the ACR4 unit. Be sure to route hoses through hose reel bracket grommets.
