7.2
In the event that internal leakage is suspected the fol-
lowing test can be performed to confirm or deny.
1. With nothing connected to the RG8.0 / RG4.0, en-
sure the recovery / purge valve is in the RECOVER
position.
2. Open the inlet valve and close the outlet valve.
3. Start the RG8.0 / RG4.0 and allow it to run until it
shuts off due to HP cut-out.
4. Close the inlet valve. Blue gauge should indicate zero
bar and high approximately 38.5 bar.
5. Slowly turn the recovery / purge valve from
RECOVER to PURGE position.
The pressure should drop on the red gauge and
Note the values and watch the gauges for change
Checklist
Make sure that
black knob on the
RG8.0 / RG4.0 is in
RECOVER
posi-
tion (pointing up).
Check for obstruc-
tions and / or freeze
up in inlet line.
Check pressure differ-
ential between inlet
gauge and
manifold gauge.
Visually inspect
inlet filter
adapter and
filter drier for
obstructions

to the RG8.0 / RG4.0

over the next 30 seconds. If there is no significant
pressure drop on either side, the internal
integrity is confirmed.

Cause/Action
If not, close the
RG8.0 / RG4.0
inlet valve, and when
RG8.0 / RG4.0 shuts
off (LP cut-out), slow-
ly move knob to
RECOVER
position.
Close the
RG8.0 / RG4.0
inlet valve and allow
the RG8.0 / RG4.0
to shut-off (LP cut-
out activation). Fol-
low the instructions
in chapter 6.2 for
purging refrigerant
If there is a pressure
differential, the inlet
filter is blocked or the
inlet mesh screen is
blocked. Could be ice
or dirt. Follow instruc-
tions for purging the
RG8.0 / RG4.0, then
proceed to next step
Replace and re-
assemble filters.
Test basic opera-
tion as described
in the section 7.1.
