3. INSPECT IDLE-UP SPEED
(a) Warm up engine.
(b) Inspect idle-up speed when the these conditions are es-
tablished.
Test conditions:
Blower speed control switch HI
Electrical lood OFF
A/C switch ON
Put gear shift in neutral
Standard idle-up speed: 800 - 900 rpm
If idle speed is not as specified, check the IAC valve and air in-
take system.
4. INSPECT FOR LEAKAGE OF REFRIGERANT
(a) Perform in these conditions:
Stop engine.
Secure good ventilation (If the gas leak detector
may not react to volatile gases which are not refrig-
erant, such as evaporated gasoline and exhaust
gas.)
Repeat the test 2 or 3 times.
Make sure that there is some refrigerant remaining
in the refrigeration system.
When compressor is OFF: approx. 392 - 588 kPa
(4 - 6 kgf/ cm
2, 57 - 85 psi)
(b) Bring the gas leak detector close to the drain hose before
performing the test.
HINT:
After the blower motor has stopped, leave the cooling unit
for more than 15 minutes.
Expose the gas leak detector sensor under the drain
hose.
When bring the gas leak detector close to the drain hose,
make sure that the gas leak detector does not react to the
volatile gases.
If such reaction is unavoidable, the vehicle must be lifted up.
(c) If gas leak is not detected on the drain hose, remove the
power transistor from the cooling unit. Then insert the gas
leak detector sensor into the unit and perform the test.
(d) Disconnect the connector and leave the pressure switch
for approx. 20 minutes. Then bring the gas leak detector
close to the pressure switch and perform the test.
(e) Bring the gas leak detector close to the refrigerant lines
and perform the test.

(f) Disconnect the connector and leave the pressure switch
for approximately 20 minutes. Then bring the gas leak de-
tector close to the pressure switch and perform the test.
(g) Bring the gas leak detector close to the refrigerant lines
and perform the test.
HINT:
Make sure that there is no dirt on joints.

EVACUATING
1. CONNECT QUICK DISCONNECT ADAPTER TO
CHARGING HOSES
2. REMOVE CAPS FROM SERVICE VALVES ON RE-
FRIGERANT LINES
3. SET ON MANIFOLD GAUGE SET
(a) Close both hand valves of manifold gauge set.
(b) Connect the quick disconnect adapters to the service
valves.
4. EVACUATE AIR FROM REFRIGERATION SYSTEM
(a) Connect the vacuum pump adapter to the vacuum pump.
(b) Connect the center hose of the manifold gauge set to the
vacuum pump adapter.
(c) Open both the high and low hand valves and run the vacu-
um pump.
(d) After 10 minutes or more, check that the low pressure
gauge indicates 750 mmHg (30 in. Hg) or more.
HINT:
If the reading is 750 mmHg (30 in. Hg) or more, close both hand
valves of manifold gauge set and stop the vacuum pump.
Check the system for leaks and repair if necessary.
(e) Close both the high and low hand valves and stop the vac-
uum pump.
(f) Leave the system in this condition for 5 minutes or more
and check that there is no gauge indicator.

CHARGING
1. INSTALL CHARGING CYLINDER
HINT:
When handling the charging cylinder, always follow the direc-
tions given in the instruction manual.
(a) Charge the proper amount of refrigerant into the charging
cylinder.
(b) Connect the center hose to the charging cylinder.
CAUTION:
Do not open both high and low hand valves of manifold
gauge set.
(c) Open the valve of charging cylinder.
(d) Press the valve core on the side of manifold gauge and
expel the air inside of the center hose.
2. INSPECT REFRIGERATION SYSTEM FOR LEAKS
(a) Open the high pressure hand valve and charge refriger-
ant.
(b) When the low pressure gauge indicates 98 kPa
(1 kgf/cm
2, 14 psi) close the high pressure hand valve.
(c) Using a gas leak detector, check the system for leakage.
If leak is found, repair the faulty component or connection.
Add evacuate air from refrigeration system (See page
AC-1 1).
CAUTION:
Use the refrigerant recovery/ recycling machine to recover
the refrigerant whenever replacing parts.

3. CHARGE REFRIGERANT INTO REFRIGERANT SYS-
TEM
If there is no leakafter refrigerant leak check, charge the proper
amount of refrigerant intor refrigeration system.
CAUTION:

Never run the engine when charging the system
through the high pressure side.

Do not open the low pressure hand a valve when the
system is being charged with liquid refrigerant.
(a) Open the high pressure hand valve fully.
(b) Charge specified amopunt of refrigerant, then close the
high pressure hand valve.
HINT:
A fully charged system is indicated by the sight flass being free
of any bubbles.
4. SET OFF MANIFOLD GAUGE SET
(a) Close both hand valves of manifold gauge set.
(b) Disconnect the quick disconnect adapters from the ser-
vice valves.
5. INSTALL CAPS TO SERVICE VALVES ON REFRIGER-
ANT LINES
