The unit also meets the SAE standards for High Voltage
Compressor service that many hybrid vehicles require.
The MGR 3 1 can also handle contaminated refrigerants with is special pump down and complete evacuation process. It gives the end user a truly one machine meets all needs.
The MGR 3 1 series primary use is an Automotive R/R/R unit. The MGR 3 1 automatically recovers, recycles, evacuates, and recharges mobile
A/C systems. Simply hook up the service hoses, choose the desired operation, and allow the unit to automatically complete the A/C service.
The MGR 3 1 utilizes a single pass (oil coalescing, particle filtration, and moisture removal) recycling system, which means that whenever the MGR 3 1 recovers, it also recycles. The unit also incorporates automatic air purge to remove unwanted non-condensable gasses from the refrigerant. Thus the refrigerant storage tank always contains the cleanest refrigerant possible for future recharge use.
The MGR 3 1 utilizes patented motorized ball valves. The motorized ball valves are unique to the industry in that they will not be affected by sealants, particulates, and other contaminates. The motorized ball valves incorporate passage ways 8-15 times larger than the existing solenoid valves orifice technology. In fact the MGR 3 1 uses no solenoid or check valves in the active flow path during recovery or evacuation, thus enhancing speed.
The MGR 3 1 utilizes patent pending two cylinder, oil-less compressor. This compressor improves reliability and performance. Being oil free, no compressor oil maintenance or oil return system is required.
The following are additional features:
• Integrated manifold gauge set. Visually see how the mobile A/C system is operating. No manual valves to open of close
• Large Graphic LCD to view operating instructions. Languages include English, Spanish, French, German, Chinese and more
• A highly accurate electronic charge scale
• Microprocessor integrated mass flow system keeps track of how much refrigerant has run through the filter drier giving the user maximum amount of run time on each filter (150 LBS per filter)
• Cartridge type 41 inch cubic filter drier. Mounted directly on the storage cylinder for optimal moisture removal and weight accuracy
• Automatic high-pressure shut-off with microprocessor indication
• Interchangeable SYMTECH Corporation, Recovery cylinders. Use your country ’s approved refrigerant cylinders. The software allows the user to set up the proper tank and refrigerant parameters.
• Modular design for easy replacement of a defective plumbing, scale, electronic, compressor or vacuum pump sub system
• Heavy-duty construction: Rotational molded outer enclosure, steel construction internal
• 8" rear wheels and 4” front swivel casters give this unit excellent maneuverability under the worst of conditions
• Recovers and Evacuates through both the high and low side service hoses
• Separate Vacuum pump for faster evacuations
• Additional service hose lengths available, 8 foot comes standard
• Programmed electrical outlet for optional heater blanket installation
• Charges on both High and Low side
• The MGR 3 1 can easily be converted back and forth between four different refrigerants: R-134a, R-1234yf, R-22 and R-407C

Maintenance - Interconnecting Hoses, Service Hoses and Couplers:
The MGR3 1 uses brass to brass seal type fitting on the ends of the service hoses and interconnecting hoses. No hose gasket maintenance is required on brass to brass type connections. The fittings connecting to the filter drier do use a rubber hose gasket. When changing the filter drier, check the gaskets for wear. Replace if required. Periodically inspect all refrigerant hose assemblies, service hoses and both service coupler inner o-rings for wear. Replace the component(s) if excessive wear or leakage is observed. Periodically leak-check all hose connection points, hose ball valves, and service couplers. Since the unit does pull a vacuum in the recovery process, excessive Non-Condensable
Gases (NCG ’s) could be sucked into the system and placed in the storage tank.

TROUBLE SHOOTING
Problem: High Pressure Limit.
Solution: Check that both Storage Tank valves are open. Check that any inline hose ball valves to the Storage Tank are open.
Problem: Tank Overfill.
Solution: Remove refrigerant from Storage Tank by charging into an empty refrigerant cylinder. If this does not fix the problem, then Re-Zero scale.
Problem: Unit not charging accurately.
Solution: Make sure Storage Tank is properly placed on platform so that no portion of the tank is touching the back of the unit or protective frame work of the unit.
Solution: Do not move the unit while in the charging mode. The unit utilizes a weighing method of charging.
Sudden movement of the storage tank will affect the charging accuracy.
Solution: Make sure unit is on a level surface. If placed on surface with more than 2% grade, the charging amount may be incorrect.
Problem: Unit will not power up.
Solution: Check to make sure circuit breaker on back of unit is not tripped. Reset and restart the unit if necessary.
Solution: Make sure power cord is plugged into the back of the unit and the wall receptacle.
Problem: Upon compressor start up, the circuit breaker trips.
Solution: Reset circuit breaker and try again.
Problem: Upon vacuum pump start up, the circuit breaker trips.
Solution: Check Oil Level in vacuum pump. Reset circuit breaker and try again.
Solution: Make sure vacuum pump voltage switch is in the correct position.
