Figure 1: Front Panel of the Yellow Jacket 95760 Recovery Machine.

This image displays the front control panel of the Yellow Jacket 95760 Refrigerant Recovery Machine. Visible components include the blue and red pressure gauges for suction and discharge, respectively. Below the gauges are the main control knob with settings for LIQUID, PURGE, OFF, and VAPOR. To the left, there is a SUCTION port connection, and to the right, a DISCHARGE port connection. At the bottom center, there is a yellow "RECOVERY COMPLETE" indicator light, a "POWER" switch (I/O), and a "BREAKER" switch. The front also features a label for "YELLOW JACKET RecoverXLT REFRIGERANT RECOVERY SYSTEM" and a note about a "200 MESH FILTER UNDER FITTING CLEAN FREQUENTLY".

Key Components:

Suction Gauge: Indicates suction pressure during recovery.
Discharge Gauge: Indicates discharge pressure during recovery.
Main Control Knob: Selects operation mode (Liquid, Purge, Off, Vapor).
Suction Port: Connection point for refrigerant intake.
Discharge Port: Connection point for refrigerant output to recovery tank.
Recovery Complete Indicator: Illuminates when recovery is finished.
Power Switch: Turns the unit on/off.
Breaker Switch: Overload protection for the unit.
200 Mesh Filter: Located under the suction fitting, requires frequent cleaning.

Setup

Before operating the recovery machine, ensure proper setup:

Place the recovery machine on a stable, level surface in a well-ventilated area.
Connect the appropriate refrigerant hoses to the system being recovered and to the recovery machine's SUCTION port.
Connect a separate refrigerant hose from the machine's DISCHARGE port to the designated recovery tank. Ensure the recovery tank is empty or has sufficient capacity and is rated for the refrigerant type.
Verify all connections are tight to prevent leaks.
Plug the machine into a grounded 115V AC power outlet.

Operating Instructions

Refrigerant Recovery (Vapor Phase):

Ensure the main control knob is set to VAPOR.
Open the valves on the system and the recovery tank.
Turn on the machine by pressing the POWER switch to 'I'.
Monitor the suction gauge. Recovery is complete when the gauge reads 0 PSI or a deep vacuum is achieved, and the RECOVERY COMPLETE indicator illuminates.
Once recovery is complete, close the valves on the system and the recovery tank.
Turn off the machine by pressing the POWER switch to 'O'.

Refrigerant Recovery (Liquid Phase):

Ensure the main control knob is set to LIQUID.
Follow steps 2-6 from the Vapor Phase Recovery. The machine will recover liquid refrigerant more quickly.

Purging the Machine:

After recovery, it is recommended to purge the machine to remove any residual refrigerant.

With the machine off and connected to an empty recovery tank, set the main control knob to PURGE.
Turn on the machine. The machine will self-purge any remaining refrigerant into the recovery tank.
Allow the machine to run until the suction gauge reads 0 PSI.
Turn off the machine and disconnect hoses.

Maintenance

Regular maintenance ensures optimal performance and longevity of your recovery machine:

200 Mesh Filter Cleaning: The 200 mesh filter located under the suction fitting should be cleaned frequently. Disconnect power, unscrew the fitting, remove the filter, clean it with a suitable solvent, and reinstall.
General Cleaning: Wipe down the exterior of the machine with a damp cloth. Do not use harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
Hose Inspection: Regularly inspect refrigerant hoses for cracks, wear, or damage. Replace damaged hoses immediately.
Storage: Store the machine in a clean, dry environment when not in use.

Troubleshooting

Problem	Possible Cause	Solution
Machine does not power on.	No power to outlet; Power switch off; Breaker tripped.	Check power supply; Ensure power switch is 'I'; Reset BREAKER switch.
Slow recovery rate.	Clogged 200 mesh filter; Partially closed valves; Kinked hoses; System pressure too low.	Clean 200 mesh filter; Fully open all valves; Straighten hoses; Ensure adequate system pressure.
Machine cycles on/off frequently.	Overheating; High discharge pressure.	Allow machine to cool; Ensure recovery tank is not overfilled or too warm; Check for blockages in discharge line.
Refrigerant leaks.	Loose connections; Damaged hoses or O-rings.	Tighten all fittings; Inspect and replace damaged hoses or O-rings.
