2. Safety Information
WARNING: Always wear appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE), including safety glasses and gloves, when handling refrigerants. Refrigerants can cause frostbite and other injuries.
- Ensure the work area is well-ventilated to prevent accumulation of refrigerant vapors.
- Do not operate the machine in the presence of flammable liquids or vapors.
- Always connect the machine to a properly grounded power outlet.
- Avoid direct contact with liquid refrigerant.
- The machine is equipped with a high-pressure shut-off indicator. Do not bypass this safety feature.

3. Setup
- Unpacking: Carefully remove the TRS600 from its packaging. Inspect the unit for any signs of shipping damage. Report any damage to your supplier immediately.
- Placement: Place the recovery machine on a stable, level surface in a well-ventilated area. Ensure there is adequate space around the unit for air circulation.
- Power Connection: Connect the power cord to a standard 115V / 60Hz grounded electrical outlet. Verify the voltage matches the machine's requirements.
- Hose Connections: Connect appropriate refrigerant hoses to the machine's inlet and outlet ports. Ensure all connections are tight to prevent leaks.

4. Operating Instructions
The TRS600 supports various recovery methods, including direct vapor, direct liquid, and push-pull. Always refer to the specific refrigerant system's requirements and local regulations.
4.1 General Recovery Procedure
- Ensure all hose connections are secure between the system, the recovery machine, and the recovery tank.
- Open the valves on the system and the recovery tank as required for the chosen recovery method.
- Turn on the TRS600 power switch. The machine will begin the recovery process.
- Monitor the pressure gauges on the machine. The high-pressure shut-off will activate if pressure exceeds safe limits.
- Once recovery is complete (system pressure reaches desired vacuum or machine automatically shuts off), close all valves and turn off the machine.
- Disconnect hoses carefully, being mindful of any residual refrigerant.
4.2 Refrigerant Compatibility and Recovery Rates
The TRS600 is designed for use with a variety of common refrigerants. Refer to the table below for typical recovery rates.

5. Maintenance
Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and optimal performance of your TRS600.
- Cleaning: Keep the exterior of the machine clean. Use a damp cloth to wipe down surfaces. Do not use harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
- Filter Maintenance: Periodically check and clean or replace the inlet filter. A clogged filter can reduce recovery efficiency.
- Hose Inspection: Inspect refrigerant hoses regularly for cracks, wear, or damage. Replace any damaged hoses immediately.
- Storage: When not in use, store the machine in a clean, dry environment, away from extreme temperatures.
6. Troubleshooting
This section provides solutions to common issues you may encounter with your TRS600.
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Machine does not start | No power; tripped circuit breaker; faulty power cord | Check power connection; reset circuit breaker; inspect power cord for damage. |
| Slow recovery rate | Clogged inlet filter; kinked hoses; low ambient temperature; system valves not fully open | Clean/replace filter; straighten hoses; ensure proper ventilation; fully open all valves. |
| High-pressure shut-off activates frequently | Overfilled recovery tank; non-condensable gases in system; restricted outlet hose | Check recovery tank weight; purge non-condensables; ensure outlet hose is clear. |
| Machine is noisy | Loose components; normal operation noise | Check for loose parts; some operational noise is normal for recovery machines. |
