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 the charging cylinder.
(d) Press the valve core on the side of manifold gauge and
expel the air inside the center hose.
2. INSPECT REFRIGERATION SYSTEM FOR LEAKS
(a) Open  the high pressure hand valve and the charge refrig-
erant.
(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 any leak-
age.
If leaks are found, repair the faulty component or connection.
CAUTION:
Use the refrigerant recovery/ recycling machine to recover
the refrigerant whenever replacing parts.

3. CHARGE REFRIGERANT INTO REFRIGERATION
SYSTEM
If there is no leak after refrigerant leak check, charge the proper
amount of refrigerant into the refrigeration system.
CAUTION:
Do not run the engine when charging the system
through the high pressure side.
Do not open the low pressure hand valve when the
system is being charged with liquid refrigerant.
(a) Open the high pressure hand valve fully.
(b) Charge specified amount of refrigerant, then close the
high pressure hand valve.
HINT:
No bubbles in the sight glass indicates that the system is fully
charged.
(c) Partially charge the refrigeration system with refrigerant.
(1) Start engine and race engine at 1,500 rpm.
(2) Set fan speed selector to ºHIº.
(3) Set temperature control to ºMAX. COOLº.
(4) Set air inlet control to ºRECIRCº.
(5) Fully open doors (Sliding roof: closed).
(6) Open the low pressure hand valve.
CAUTION:
Do not open the high pressure hand valve.
(d) Charge refrigerant until bubbles disappear and check the
pressure on the gauge through the sight glass.

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 the hand valves of the 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 later, check that the low pressure
gauge  indicates 750 mmHg (30 in. Hg) minimum.
HINT:
If the reading is 750 mmHg (30 in. Hg) close both hand valves
of the 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 at least 5 minutes
and check that there is no gauge indicator.

9. SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINT SYSTEM (SRS)
The LAND CRUISER is equipped with SRS (Supplemental Re-
straint System) such as the driver airbag and the front passen-
ger airbag. Failure to carry out service operation in the correct
sequence  could cause the SRS to unexpectedly deploy during
servicing, possibly leading to a serious accident. Before servic-
ing (including removal or installation of parts, inspection or re-
placement),  be sure to read the precautionary notices in the RS
section.
