MANIFOLD
The gauges are connected into the air conditioning
systems through a manifold. The manifold has 3 con-
nections (Fig. 1). The low side hose and fitting is con-
nected directly below the low side gauge. The high
side hose and fitting is connected below the high side
gauge.
The center connection of the manifold is used for
recovery and any other necessary service (Fig. 1).
Both the high and low sides of the manifold have
hand shutoff valves. The hand shutoff valves open or
close the respective gauge connections to the center
service connection or to each other (Fig. 1). The man-
ifold is constructed so that pressure will be indicated
on the gauges regardless of the hand valve position.
CONNECTING THE PRESSURE GAUGE AND
MANIFOLD ASSEMBLY
Remove the protective caps from the service valve
gauge ports and valve stems.
Close both of the hand valves on the gauge mani-
fold set.
Connect the compound gauge hose to the compres-
sor suction service valve gauge port (low-side).
Connect the high pressure gauge hose to the dis-
charge service valve gauge port (high-side).
If necessary, to facilitate installation of the gauge
set, loosen the service valve-to-compressor fitting and
rotate the service valve slightly. DO NOT allow the
hose to contact the engine or body components.
Tighten the service valve-to-compressor fitting to 34
NIm (25 ft. lbs.) torque. Tighten the flange-type ser-
vice valve screws to 20 NIm (15 ft. lbs.) torque.
Set both the service valve stems to the mid-position
or the cracked-position. The gauges will indicate
high and low side pressure respectively.Purge any air from the high side test hose by open-
ing the high side hand valve on the manifold for 3 to
5 seconds. The center connection on the manifold
must be open.
Purge any air from the low side test hose by open-
ing the low side hand valve on the manifold for 3 to
5 seconds. The center connection on the manifold
must be open.
The air conditioning system may be operated with
the gauge manifold assembly connected in this man-
ner. The gauges will indicate respective operative
pressures.
SERVICE VALVES
DESCRIPTION
The discharge (high pressure) and inlet (suction)
service valves are used for diagnosis and recovery of
the system. They are also used to isolate the system
during component Removal and Installation.
The service valves are three-position valves (Fig.
2). Normal operating position for the valve stem is
the back-seated (full-out) position. The stem is
turned counterclockwise to place it in this position.
The front seated (full-in) position is used to isolate
the compressor from the system. The stem is turned
clockwise to place it in this position.

(2) Close all the hand valves.
(3) Connect the red charging hose to the discharge
service valve.
(4) Connect the blue charging hose to the inlet
(suction) service valve.
(5) Discharge the system. Leave the suction and
discharge service valves in the mid-position.
CAUTION: The system must be completely dis-
charged into a recovery device before evacuating. If
the system is still charged, refrigerant can enter
and damage the vacuum pump.
(6) Connect the vacuum pump hose to the vacuum
pump inlet.
(7) Open the low and high pressure control valves
on the charging station.
(8) Start the vacuum pump. Open the vacuum con-
trol valve and note the vacuum reading.
(9) Test the system for leaks as follows:
²Close the manifold hand valves.
²Stop the vacuum pump and observe the vacuum
reading.
²If the system is leak-free, vacuum will hold steady
at the level indicated when the pump was stopped. If
vacuum remains steady for 3-5 minutes, resume and
continue evacuation for a minimum of 30 minutes.
²If the system has a leak, vacuum will fall off or
rapidly drop to a 0 reading. If a leak exists, partially
charge the system. Find and repair the leak and re-
sume evacuation.
(10) Continue evacuating the system for a mini-
mum of 30 minutes after attaining the lowest vac-
uum level.
(11) Fill the station charging cylinder while the
system is evacuating.
(12) Close the vacuum control valve and stop the
vacuum pump.
(13) Observe low pressure gauge to determine if a
system leak exists. If the system is leak-free, the sys-
tem is now ready for charging.
SYSTEM CHARGE
CHARGE CAPACITY
The recommended system charge is 1.1 kg (38 oz.)
of R-12 refrigerant for XJ vehicles and 0.9 kg (32 oz.)
for YJ vehicles.
Add an additional 28 grams (1 fluid oz.) of
compressor oil to the system when a hose, re-
ceiver-drier, condenser, expansion valve or
evaporator core is replaced.
PORTABLE SERVICE STATION
(1) Fill the station charging cylinder. Refrigerant
should be observed rising in the cylinder sight glass.
(2) Slightly open the valve at the top of the cylin-
der when pressure in the charging cylinder and re-frigerant supply tank are equal. This relieves head
pressure allowing refrigerant to continue filling the
cylinder.
(3) Observe the pressure gauge at the top of the
cylinder. Rotate the plastic cover on the cylinder un-
til the pressure heading column corresponds with the
gauge pressure in-line with the sight glass.
FOR EXAMPLE:ÐThe pressure gauge at the top
of the cylinder indicates 483 kPa (70 psi). Locate the
column with the pressure heading of 483 (70) and ro-
tate the cover so the 483 (70) column aligns with the
sight glass.
(4) When refrigerant reaches the correct level in
the sight glass, close the right hand valve at cylinder
base and on the refrigerant drum.
(5) Close the valve at the top of the charging cyl-
inder.
(6) Check for bubbles in the refrigerant using the
cylinder sight glass. If bubbles appear in the refrig-
erant, tilt the charging station rearward momen-
tarily.
(7) Connect the heating element cord to the power
pack receptacle and turn the heater switch ON.
(8) Allow the refrigerant to warm for about 10
minutes while the vacuum pump is operating.
WARNING: WEAR GOGGLES TO PROTECT THE
EYES.
(9) Discharge and evacuate the system.
(10) Close the low pressure valve on the charging
station.
(11) Fully open the left hand refrigerant control
valve at the base of the cylinder and the high pres-
sure valve on the charging station.
(12) Charge the system.
(13) Close the refrigerant control valve and the
high pressure valve on the charging station.
CAUTION: DO NOT permit the liquid level to drop
below 0 on the cylinder sight glass.
(14) Close the manifold gauges after completion of
the charging operation and check the high and low
side pressures.
(15) Check system operation.
CAUTION: DO NOT check system pressures until
the high and low pressure valves on the charging
station are closed. The low pressure gauge could
be damaged if the valves are open.
(16) Close all the valves on the charging station
and close the refrigerant drum valve when all the op-
erations are completed.
(17) Back-seat the service valves by turning them
fully counterclockwise. Install the quick seal caps on
the valves afterward.
