contains 9.5 oz. of R-134a and .5 oz. of PAG oil with
a proprietary formula of additives to insure maximum cold air while
sealing common rubber o-ring, gasket, and hose leaks and extending
compressor life.
SMART CLIPS, when inserted into the air vent, will change color to
show that the system is fully charged. Check hoses and ports for
leaks and repair before recharging.
Remove both of the SMART CLIPS from the cap and insert
them into vehicle’s center air vent.
Locate the vehicle’s low side service port. This port will usually
have a plastic cap, and is located between the compressor and
the evaporator. It is the only port the Avalanche quick connect
coupler will connect to.
Hold can upright to charge. While charging rotate can between
a 12 o’clock position to the 3 o’clock position. Continue
process until can is empty (5-15 minutes) or until correct
amount of refrigerant is charged into the system. The word
Avalanche will turn from white to blue indicating refrigerant is
being added to the system.
Periodically, or if can is empty, stop adding refrigerant by
releasing the recharge button to check SMART CLIPS for
correct refrigerant fill. Remove quick connect coupler from
service port. NEVER PLACE REFRIGERANT CAN ON ANY
HOT ENGINE PART.
Check SMART CLIPS. One clip will change to blue showing
the A/C is approaching optimum fill. The second clip will
change to green showing the system is fully charged. (If
outside temperature is above 95°F, only the blue clip needs
to change color for the correct refrigerant fill. Leave clips in
vent and recheck when temperature falls below 95°F to
make sure the system is fully charged.)
When you have correct fill and your air conditioner is fully
charged, remove the quick connect coupler from the
vehicle’s service port and return empty can to store where
purchased. Check A/C system nameplate for maximum
volume. Do not overcharge.
