WARNING: Working on the fuel system re sults in fuel and fuel vapor being present in the atmosphere. Fuel vapor is
extremely flammable, hence great care must be taken whilst working on the fuel system. Adhere strictly to the following
precautions:

disconnect the gauge from the schrader valve while the engine is running
Make su
re the schrader valve reseals once the gauge is disconnected
• NOTE: Depending on the design of the ga uge set, there may be a drain valve and tube. Make sure this valve is closed, and
the drain tube placed in a suitable container BEFORE connecting the gauge to the schrader valve.
1. Make sure the vehi
cle is in
Park for vehicles with automatic
transmission, Neutral for vehicles with manual transmission.
2. Apply the parking brake.
3. Place suitable absorbent material around the schrader valve to
absorb any spillage when connecting the gauge set.
4. Remove the protective cap from the schrader valve.
5. Connect the gauge, using adaptors if required.
6. Remove the absorbent material and dispose of safely.
7. Disconnect and plug the vacuum hose from the pressure
regulator.
8. Start the engine and record the fuel pressure reading.
As a gui
de, the fuel pressu
re should be approximately 3.0
bar (44.1 psi) with the regulator disconnected.
9. With the engine still running, reconnect the vacuum hose to
the pressure regulator an d record the reading.
Th
e pressure should dr
op to approximately 2.6 bar (38
psi) when the vacuum hose is reconnected.
10. Switch off the engine.
11. Place more absorbent material around the schrader valve.
12. Where fitted, open the drain valve and allow the fuel from the
gauge and line to flow into the container to depressurize the
system.
13. Disconnect and remove the gauge set and any adaptors.
14. Clean up any fuel which may have been spilt and remove the
absorbent material. Dispose of safely.
15. Refit and secure the protective cap to the schrader valve.
16. Reconnect the fuel pressure regulator vacuum hose.
17. Start the engine and make sure there are no leaks.

E
vacuating the System
This process, the removal
of un
wanted air and moisture, is crit ical to the correct operation of the air conditioning system.
Moisture in the system can be highly de structive and may cause internal blockages due to freezing; water suspended in the
lubricating oil will dama ge the compressor. Once the system has been dismantled, or the refrigerant charge recovered, all
traces of moisture must be removed before recharging.
Specific procedures will vary depending on the individual characteristics of the recovery / recycle / recharge equipment, and
must be carried out exactly in accordance with the manufacturer 's instructions. However, it is recommended that initially
only the high-side valve be opened at the start of the procedure. After a short time a small depression should be seen on
the low-side, at which point the low-side valve may be opened and the evacuation process completed. If a vacuum is not
registered on the low-side, it may indicate that the expansion valve is permanently closed or that the system is blocked.
This simple check may save time and effort when the system is recharged.

AUTION: Only use hoses with connectors wh
ich are dedicated to HFC 134A charge ports.
Stabilizing the System
1.
At
tach the center (service) hose to a vacuum pump and start
the pump. Open fully both high and low valves and allow the
vacuum to remove air and mois ture from the manifold set for
at least five minutes.
CAUTION: It is imperative th at the vacuum pump is not
subjected to a positi ve pressure of any degree. Therefore the
pump must be fitted wi th an isolation valve at the center (service
hose) connection and this valve mu st be closed before the pump
is switched off. This operation replaces the 'purge' procedure used
on previous systems. Observe the manufacturer's
recommendation with regard to vacuum pump oil changes.
Turn the vacuum pump off and isol ate it from the center service
hose but do not open the hose to atmosphere.
1. Att
achment of the hose quick release connectors to the high
and low side system ports is stra ightforward, provided that the
high and low valves are closed and the system is NOT
operational.
WARNING: UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES SHOULD THE
CONNECTIONS BE MADE WITH THE SYSTEM IN OPERATION OR
THE VALVES OPEN. SHOULD THE VALVES BE OPEN AND A
VACUUM PUMP OR REFRIGERANT CONTAINER ATTACHED, AN
EXPLOSION COULD OCCUR AS A RESULT OF HIGH PRESSURE
REFRIGERANT BEING FORCED BACK INTO THE VACUUM PUMP OR
CONTAINER.
Assessment of system operating efficiency and fault
classification may be achieved by using the facilities on your
Recovery / Recharging / Recycling station, follow the
manufacturer's instructions implicitly and observe all safety
considerations.
1. Accurate test gauge data wi
ll on
ly be attained if the system
temperatures and pressures are stabilized.
E
nsure that equipment and hoses cannot come into
contact with engine moving parts or sources of heat.
It is recommended th at a free standing air
mover is placed
in front of the vehicle to provide air flow through the
condenser / cooling system.
St
art the engine, allow it to attain normal working
temperature and set at fast idle (typically 1200 to 1500
rpm).
Select full
air condit
ioning performance.
With
all temperatures and pres
sures stable, or displaying
symptoms of faults; begin relevant test procedures.
