Who should buy it
Techs who recover at a shop or in a van and want a long compressor warranty with a simple valve. If you carry equipment onto roofs, compare it with the 22 lb Fieldpiece MR45.
Remember the paperwork
Recovery machines are one part of refrigerant handling. Certification, recordkeeping and tank rules apply to the person using the machine, not only to the equipment. Check your local requirements.
Watching the tank
Because the 95760 has no tank overfill switch, use a scale and stop recovery before the cylinder reaches its fill limit. The commonly cited limit is 80% of capacity by weight, and the cylinder markings and your local rules decide the specifics. If you do not want to watch a scale, the Yellow Jacket catalog says the 95762 has an overfill switch. Keep the hoses short and purge the machine between refrigerants to avoid mixing them.
Who benefits from the compressor warranty
A recovery machine is a heavily used wear item, and compressor life depends on moisture, acid and liquid slugging. Yellow Jacket’s three-year compressor warranty reduces the cost if the compressor fails early, which makes the 95760 attractive to shops that recover every day. Read the warranty terms to see what is covered, and keep the receipt. Use a filter-drier ahead of the machine if your procedures call for one.
