Refrigerant Line
• Never use heat for bending pipes. When bending a pipe , try to make its bending angle as smooth as possible.
• Keep internal parts of air conditioning free from moistu re and dirt. When disconnecting any line from system, install 
a blind plug or cap to the fitting immediately.
• When connecting hoses and pipes, apply a few drops of compressor oil (refrigerant oil) to O-ring.
• When tightening or loosening a fitting, use two wrenches, one for turning and the other for support.
• When handling recovery and recycling equipment, be sure  to follow the instruction manual for the equipment.
• Check local governmental regulations regarding working with refrigerator systems and its tooling.
• Route drain hose so that drained water does not make any contact to vehicle components.
• If pipes or hoses are replaced, replenish specified amount of compressor oil to compre ssor suction side referring to 
“Replenishing Compressor Oil” in “Operation Procedure for Refrigerant Charge”.
Refrigerant Recovery
When discharging refrigerant out of A/C system, always  recover it by using refrigerant recovery and recycling 
equipment because discharging refrigerant HFC-134a (R-1 34a) into atmosphere would cause adverse effect to 
environments.
NOTE
When handling recovery and recycling equipment, be sure to follow the instruction manual for the 
equipment.
 
Refrigerant Charge
After performing compressor oil replenishment and evacuat ion, charge a proper amount of refrigerant to A/C system

Operation Procedure for Refrigerant ChargeS7RS0B7216001
WARNING! 
• Your eyes should not be exposed to refrigerant (liquid).Any liquid HFC-134a (R-134a) escaping by accident shows a temperature as low as approximately –
6 °C (21.2 ° F) below freezing point. Should liquid HFC-134a  (R-134a) is exposed to your eyes, it may 
cause a serious injury. To protect your eyes from such accident, it is necessary to always wear 
goggles. Should it occur that HFC-134a (R-134a)  is exposed to your eyes, consult a doctor 
immediately.
– Do not use your hand to rub the affected eye(s). Instead, use fresh cold water to splash it over the  affected area to gradually raise temperature of such area above freezing point.
– Obtain proper treatment as soon as possible from a doctor or eye specialist.
• Should the liquid refrigerant HFC-134a (R-134a) is exposed to your skin, the affected area should be  treated in the same manner as when skin is frostbitten or frozen.
• Do not handle refrigerant near any place where welding or steam cleaning is performed.
• Refrigerant should be kept in a cold and dark pl ace. It should never be stored in any place where 
temperature is high, e.g. where exposed to direct su n light, close to fire or inside vehicle (including 
trunk room).
• Avoid breathing fume produced when HFC-134a (R-134a) is burned. Such fume may be hazardous to  your health.

NOTE
• After recovering refrigerant from system, the amount of removed compressor oil must be measured 
for replenishing compressor oil.
• When handling recovery and recycling equipment, be sure to follow the instruction manual for the  equipment.
 
Replenishing Compressor Oil
It is necessary to replenish specified amount of 
compressor oil to compressor  from compressor suction 
side hole (1) before evacuating and charging refrigerant.
When charging refrigerant only
When charging refrigerant without replacing any 
component, replenish the same amount of measured oil 
when recovering refrigerant (if not measure, replenish 10 
cm
3 (10 ml, 0.34 US. oz, 0.35 Imp. oz) oil).
When replacing compressor
CAUTION! 
Be sure to use specified compressor oil or an 
equivalent compressor oil.
 
Compressor oil is sealed in each new compressor by the 
amount required for A/C system. Therefore, when using 
a new compressor, drain the calculated amount of oil 
from it. “C” = “A” – “B”
“C”: Amount of oil to be drained
“A”: Amount of oil in a new compressor
“B”: Amount of oil in removed compressor

Evacuation
CAUTION! 
Do not evacuate before recovering 
refrigerant in A/C system.
 
NOTE
Once air conditioning system circuit is 
opened (exposed) to atmospheric air, system 
must be evacuated by using a vacuum pump. 
The A/C system should be attached with a 
manifold gauge set, and should be evacuated 
for approximately 15 minutes.
 
1) Connect high charging hose (1) and low charging  hose (2) of manifold gauge set (3) respectively as 
follows:
High charging hose  → High pressure charging valve 
(4) on condenser outlet pipe
Low charging hose  → Low pressure charging valve 
(5) on suction pipe
2) Attach center charging hose (6) of manifold gauge  set to vacuum pump (7).
3) Operate vacuum pump,  and then open discharge 
side valve (Hi) (8) of manifold gauge set.
If there is no blockage in  the system, there will be an 
indication on high pressure gauge (9).
In this case, open the other side valve (Lo) (10) of 
the set and repair the system.
4) Approximately 10 minutes later, low pressure gauge  (11) should show a vacuum lower than –100 kPa (–
1.0 kg/cm
2, –760 mmHg, –14.7 psi) providing no 
leakage exists.
NOTE
• If the system does not show a vacuum  below –100 kPa (–1.0 kg/cm
2, –760 mmHg, 
–14.7 psi), close both valves, stop vacuum 
pump and watch movement of low 
pressure gauge.
• Increase in the gauge reading suggests  existence of leakage. In this case, repair 
the system before continuing its 
evacuation.
• If the gauge shows a stable reading  (suggesting no leakage), continue 
evacuation.
 
5) Evacuation should be carried out for a total of at  least 15 minutes.
6) Continue evacuation until low pressure gauge  indicates a vacuum less than –100 kPa (–1.0 kg/cm
2, 
–760 mmHg, –14.7 psi), and then close both valves.
7) Stop vacuum pump. Disconnect center charging  hose from pump inlet. No w, the system is ready for 
charging refrigerant.
Checking A/C System for Pressure Leaks
After completing the evacuation, close manifold gauge 
high pressure valve and low pressure valve and wait 10 
minutes. Verify that low pressure gauge reading has not 
changed.
CAUTION! 
If the gauge reading moves closer to “0”, 
there is a leak somewhere. Inspect the tubing 
connections and make necessary 
corrections. And then, evacuate system once 
again and make sure that there are no leaks.

Charge
CAUTION! 
• Because the sight glass is not used for this A/C system, do not perform an additional 
charge to the A/C system. To charge the 
proper amount of refrigerant, recover and 
evacuate the A/C system first. And then, 
charge the proper amount of refrigerant 
into the A/C system.
• Always charge refrigerant through low  pressure side of A/C system after the initial 
charge is performed from the high 
pressure side with the engine stopped.
• Never charge refrigerant through high  pressure side of A/C system with engine 
running.
• Do not charge refrigerant while  compressor is hot.
• When installing tap valve to refrigerant  container to make a hole there through, 
carefully follow dire ctions given by 
manufacturer.
• A pressure gauge should always be used  before and during refrigerant charge.
• The refrigerant container should be  emptied of refrigerant  when discarding it.
• The refrigerant container should not be  heated up to 40  °C (104  °F) or over.
• Refrigerant container should not be  reversed in direction during refrigerant 
charge. Reversing in direction causes 
liquid refrigerant to enter compressor, 
causing troubles, such as compression of 
liquid refrigerant and the like.
 
NOTE
The air conditioning system contains HFC-
134a (R-134a).
Described here is a method to charge the air 
conditioning system with refrigerant from the 
refrigerant service container.
