System Charging
Air conditioning refrigerant or lubricant vapor
can irritate your eyes, nose, or throat.
Be carefulwhen connecting service equipment.
Do not breathe refrigerant or vapor,
Use only service equipment that is U.L.'listed and is
certified to meet the requirements of SAE J2210 to
remove HFC-134a {R-134a) from the air conditioning
system.
lf accidental system discharge occurs, ventilate the
work area before resuming service
Additional health and safety information may be
obtained from the refrigerant and lubricant
manufacturers.
1. Connect a R-134a refrigerant recovery/recycling/
charging station (A) to the high-pressure service
pon (B) and the low-pressure service port {C), as
shown, following the equipment manufacturer's
instructions.
2.
3.
4.
Evacuate the system (see page 21'54).
Add the same amount of new refrigerant oil to the
system that was removed during recovery. Use
only KEIHIN SP-10 refrigerant oil.
Charge the system with the specified amount of
R-134a refrigerant. Do not overcharge the system;
the compressor will be damaged.
Select the appropriate units of measure for your
refrigerant charging station.
Refrigerant capacity:
500 to 550 g
0.50 to 0.55 kg
1.10 to 1.21 lbs
17.6 to 19.4 oz
Check for refrigerant leaks (see page 21'56).
Check for system performance (see page 21-58).

Heating and Air Conditioning
Refrigerant Leak Test
Special Tool Required
Leak detector, Honda Tool and Equipment YGK-H-10PM
commerciallv available
Compressed air mixed with R-134a forms a
combustible vapor.
The vapor can burn or explode causing serious
injury.
Never use compressed air to pressure test
R-134a service equipment or vehicle air
conditioning system.
Air conditioning refrigerant or lubricant vapor
can irritate your eyes, nose, or throat.
Be carefulwhen connecting service equipment.
Do not breathe refrigerant or vapor
Use only service equipment that is U.L.-listed and is
certiified to meet the requirements of SAE J2210 to
remove HFC-134a (R-134a) from the air conditioning
system.
lf accidental system discharge occurs, ventilate the
work area before resuming service.
R-134a service equipment or vehicle air conditioning
systems should not be pressure tested or leak tested
with compressed air.
Additional health and safety information may be
obtained from the refrigerant and lubricant
manufacturers.

1. Connect a R-134a refrigerant recovery/recycling/
charging station (A) to the high-pressure serviceport (B) and the low-pressure service port (C), as
shown, following the equipment manufacturer's
anstructions.
Open the high pressure valve to charge the system
to the specified capacity, then close the supply
valve, and remove the charging system couplers.
Select the appropriate units of measure for your
refrigerant charging station.
Refrigerant capacity:
500 to 550 g
0.50 to 0.55 kg
1.10 to 1.21 lbs
17.6 to 19.4 oz
Check the system for leaks using a R-134a
refrigerant leak detector with an accuracy of 14 g(0.5 oz) per year or better.
lf you find leaks that require the system to be
opened (to repair or replace hoses, fittings, etc.),
recover the system.
After checking and repairing leaks, evacuate the
system.
