C
AUTION: Only use hoses with connectors wh
ich are dedicated to HFC 134A charge ports.
Stabilizing the System
1.
At
tach the center (service) hose to a vacuum pump and start
the pump. Open fully both high and low valves and allow the
vacuum to remove air and mois ture from the manifold set for
at least five minutes.
CAUTION: It is imperative th at the vacuum pump is not
subjected to a positi ve pressure of any degree. Therefore the
pump must be fitted wi th an isolation valve at the center (service
hose) connection and this valve mu st be closed before the pump
is switched off. This operation replaces the 'purge' procedure used
on previous systems. Observe the manufacturer's
recommendation with regard to vacuum pump oil changes.
Turn the vacuum pump off and isol ate it from the center service
hose but do not open the hose to atmosphere.
1. Att
achment of the hose quick release connectors to the high
and low side system ports is stra ightforward, provided that the
high and low valves are closed and the system is NOT
operational.
WARNING: UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES SHOULD THE
CONNECTIONS BE MADE WITH THE SYSTEM IN OPERATION OR
THE VALVES OPEN. SHOULD THE VALVES BE OPEN AND A
VACUUM PUMP OR REFRIGERANT CONTAINER ATTACHED, AN
EXPLOSION COULD OCCUR AS A RESULT OF HIGH PRESSURE
REFRIGERANT BEING FORCED BACK INTO THE VACUUM PUMP OR
CONTAINER.
Assessment of system operating efficiency and fault
classification may be achieved by using the facilities on your
Recovery / Recharging / Recycling station, follow the
manufacturer's instructions implicitly and observe all safety
considerations.
1. Accurate test gauge data wi
ll on
ly be attained if the system
temperatures and pressures are stabilized.
E
nsure that equipment and hoses cannot come into
contact with engine moving parts or sources of heat.
It is recommended th at a free standing air
mover is placed
in front of the vehicle to provide air flow through the
condenser / cooling system.
St
art the engine, allow it to attain normal working
temperature and set at fast idle (typically 1200 to 1500
rpm).
Select full
air condit
ioning performance.
With
all temperatures and pres
sures stable, or displaying
symptoms of faults; begin relevant test procedures.
