Disclaimer
This manual was created with great care. However, if you notice any omissions or inaccuracies,
please inform the service partner of your country in writing.
The manufacturer shall not be liable for technical or typographical errors and reserves the right at
any time without prior notice to the product and the instruction manuals make.
The illustrations in this document may di󰀨er from the machine actually supplied with this manual.

1.1 Important information about refrigerant
Note: All the information here is current as of the date of printing of this manual.
Warning! The machine is designed exclusively for R134a. The design meets all the guidelines of
the European standard EN 378:2010
Safety Classication and information about refrigerant:
The refrigerant is classied in Table E.1 (Refrigerants designation) of Annex E (Normative) of the European
standard EN 378-1:2008 + A1: 2010 (E) (EN 378-1:2011)
The refrigerant can assume di󰀨erent names depending on the manufacturer!
For more information relating to the refrigerant refer to the SAFETY DATA SHEET according to
Regulation (EC) No. 1907/2006 (MSDS).
The SAFETY DATA SHEET (MSDS) must be delivered to the operator (s) employee (s) using the
machine!

7COOLIUS A10
1.2 Symbols
This safety alert symbol indicate that this message involves personal safety. Works danger,
warning and caution indicate degree of hazard. Death, personal injury and/or property damage
may occur unless instructions are followed carefully.
Do not operate this machine if you have not read and understood the following safety items.
Read this entire Operating Manual.
1.3 Intended use
The machine is designed solely for use in automobile air-conditioning system maintenance.
Caution! Risk of injury due to improper use.
This machine is intended for use by Qualied personnel only. Such users must have a knowl-
edge of the basics of refrigeration, refrigeration system, refrigerants and the potential hazards
that unit under high pressure can cause.
2 Important safety instructions
The user should follow the “general safety rules”, and use the machine according to the “intended use” and
the instructions of this operating manual.
Therefore, the user is not exposed to any risk if the general safety rules reported below are followed with
proper use and maintenance of the machine.
2.1 Glossary of terms
• Machine: The machine relative to this operating manual.
• Refrigerant: Fluid reported on the identication label.
• A/C system: Air-conditioning system in the vehicle.
• External container: New Refrigerant used to ll the internal container.
• Internal container: Refrigerant storage tank.
• Process: Execution of an individual function (Ex. Recovery).
• Cycle: Execution of more processes.
• Recovery: The recovery of refrigerant in any condition and its storage in a container outside the A/C
system, without necessarily undergoing analysis or treatment of any kind.
• Recycling: A reduction of the contaminating substances in used refrigerants through oil separation, the
recovery of incondensable and their single or multiple passages through elements that enable a reduc-
tion in humidity, acidity and gasses.
• Disposal: Recovery of refrigerant to store it for subsequent distribution or disposal.
• Vacuum: Phase in which air and moisture are evacuated from an A/C system solely by means of a
vacuum pump.
• Oil charge: Introduction of oil inside an A/C system for the purpose of maintaining the amount of oil
specied by the manufacturer.
• UV tracer charge: Introduction of UV tracer inside an A/C system in order to detect possible leaks by
means of a UV lamp.
• Refrigerant charge: Phase during which refrigerant is introduced into an A/C system in the amount
specied by the manufacturer.

8COOLIUS A10
•
• Flushing: at the purpose to clean the A/C system or components, liquid refrigerant is ushed through it,
in order to do so a special device and adapters are needed.
2.2 General safety rules
• This machine is intended for use by QUALIFIED PERSONNEL only. Such users must have a knowl-
edge of the basics of refrigeration, refrigeration system, refrigerants and the potential hazards that unit
under high pressure can cause.
• It’s essential to supervise the machine at all times.
• DO NOT modify the safety devices
• DO NOT use external tanks or other storage tanks that have not been type-approved or that lack safety
valves.
• DO NOT use the machine near open ames and hot surfaces. At high temperatures, the refrigerant de-
composes, releasing toxic and chemical substances that are hazardous for users and the environment.
• It’s essential to use only the refrigerant indicated on the identication label. Mixtures with other types of
refrigerant will seriously damage the cooling and refrigeration system, as well as the machine.
• Gloves and Goggles should be worn - contact with the refrigerant can cause blindness and other physi-
cal injury to the user.
• Avoid inhalation of vapours from the refrigerants and contact of the refrigerant with skin.
• Do not switch on the machine unless the machine is going to be used immediately. Cut o󰀨 the electrical
power supply prior to long intervals in which the machine will not be used.
• Attention: Ensure that all valves are closed before making connections between the machine and an
A/C system or an external tank.
• Attention: Ensure that the process has been completed and that all valves are closed before discon-
necting the machine.
• Attention: All of the exible hoses may contain refrigerant under high pressure.
• Attention: The machine and A/C system in vehicles containing refrigerant should not be tested with
compressed air. Some mixtures of air and refrigerant have proven to be combustible at high pressure
levels. These mixtures are potentially hazardous and there is a risk of re and explosions that can
cause damage to property and personal injury.
Additional medical and safety information can be obtained from the manufacturers of the oils and refrig-
erants.
2.3 Guidelines for handling refrigerants
Precautions for Refrigerant Storage
The refrigerant to be removed from a system must be handled carefully in order to prevent or minimise the
possibilities of di󰀨erent refrigerants mixing.
The tank used for storing refrigerants must be assigned to specic refrigerants to avoid di󰀨erent refrigerants
mixing
Recycling of refrigerants
The recycling machine’s lter system should be replaced regularly in order to maintain the e󰀩ciency of the
recycling machine
General Notions
Before re-introducing refrigerant into the system, the system itself must be evacuated and cleaned.

9COOLIUS A10
In order to be sure that the system is free of contaminating agents before introducing the refrigerant, all the
procedures described in this instruction manual must be followed.
Clean and maintain the machine regularly, especially when highly contaminated refrigerant is used: it
is extremely important that contamination from the previous operation is not transferred to subsequent
operations.
2.4 Safety devices
The machine is equipped with the safety devices required from the European Directives:
• Electric safety switch
• Safety valve
Caution! Danger of injury due to manipulation.
DO NOT MODIFY THE SAFETY DEVICES.
2.5 Not condensable gas discharge
A not condensable gas discharge valve is installed to allow these gasses to be released.
The not condensable gas discharge valve could generate noises.
Warning! Risk of injury from escaping gases under high pressure..
Make sure that you never come in contact with the drain valve!
2.6 Ventilation Safety System
The machine is equipped with a ventilation security system which allows the use in high temperature
environments.
It is forbidden to obstruct the inlet grid of the fan.
2.7 The work environment
• The machine must be used in open environments or in places equipped with good ventilation (at least 4
changes of air per hour).
• The unit has been designed for use at a maximum altitude of 1000 m above sea level, within a tempera-
ture range of +10 and +49°C and with a maximum humidity of 50% at +40°C.
• Operate in su󰀩ciently lit conditions.

3.3 Machine handling
In spite of the fact that the heaviest components have been assembled on the base in order to lower the
centre of gravity, it has not been possible to eliminate the risk of overturning completely.
The machine is moved on the four wheels.
On rough ground, the machine must be moved by tilting it and balancing the weight on the two rear wheels.
3.4 On/O󰀨 and stopping
start-up: Move the main switch to the ON position (I)
Stopping: Move the main switch to the OFF position (O)
Attention! Damage to the machine.
Do not switch o󰀨 the machine by unplugging the mains plug!
