ADJUSTMENT Recharging
WARNING: Refrigerant must always be
recycled before re-use, to ensure that the
purity of the refrigerant is high enough for
safe use within the air conditioning system.
Recycling should always be carried out with
equipment which is design certified by
Underwriter Laboratory Inc. for compliance with
SAE-J1991. Other equipment may not re-cycle the
refrigerant to the required level of purity.
WARNING: A R134a Refrigerant Recovery
Recycling Recharging station must not be
used with any other type of refrigerant.
WARNING: R134a refrigerant from
domestic and commercial sources must
not be used in motor vehicle air
conditioning systems.
CAUTION: When a major repair has been
carried out, a leak test should be carried
out using inert gas.
