Refrigerant Charging Procedure
HVAC SYSTEM (HEATER, VENTILATOR AND A/C)
4. Refrigerant Charging Proce-
dure
A: PROCEDURE
CAUTION:
•During operation, be sure to wear protective
goggles and protective gloves.
•Before charging the refrigerant, evacuate the
system to remove small amounts of moisture
remaining in the system.
The moisture in the system can be completely
evacuated only under the minimum vacuum
level. The minimum vacuum level affects the
temperature in the system.
•The list below shows the vacuum values nec-
essary to boil water at various temperatures. In
addition, the vacuum levels indicated on the
gauge are approx. 3.3 kPa (25 mmHg, 0.98 inHg)
lower than those measured at 304.8 m (1,000 ft)
above sea level.
1) Close the valves on low-/high-pressure sides of
the manifold gauge.
2) Install the low-/high-pressure hoses to the corre-
sponding service ports on the vehicle.
3) Connect the center hose of the manifold gauge
set with the vacuum pump.
4) Carefully open the valves on the low-/high-pres-
sure sides to activate the vacuum pump.
5) After the low-pressure gauge reaches 100.0 kPa
(750 mmHg, 29.5 inHg) or higher, evacuate the
system for approx. 15 minutes. (Continue evacua-
tion).
6) After 15 minutes of evacuation, if the reading
shows 100.0 kPa (750 mmHg, 29.5 inHg) or higher,
close the valves on the both sides to stop the vac-
uum pump.

C: INSPECTION
Check all disassembled parts for wear, damage or other problems. Repair or replace the defective parts as
necessary.
CAUTION:
Although the surface layer materials of rubber hoses have excellent weathering resistance, heat re-
sistance and resistance for low temperature brittleness, they are likely to be damaged chemically by
brake fluid, battery electrolyte, engine oil and automatic transmission fluid and their service lives are
to be very shortened. Wipe off hoses immediately if any of these come into contact with the hoses.
Since resistances for heat or low temperature brittleness are gradually declining according to time
accumulation of hot or cold conditions for the hoses and their service lives are shortening accord-
ingly, it is necessary to perform careful inspection frequently when the vehicle is used in hot weather
areas, cold weather areas and a driving condition in which many steering operations are required in
short time.
Particularly continuous work of relief valve over 5 seconds causes to reduce service lives of the hos-
es, the oil pump, the fluid, etc. due to over heat.
