Remove the intake fitting cap and connect the pump to the system being
evacuated using a hose with appropriate fittings. Keep the connection as

leaking. If desired, use a vacuum gauge manifold set to monitor the
vacuum level.
Remove the exhaust fitting cap. Plug the pump into an appropriate AC
outlet. Then turn ON the pump to begin the evacuation process.
After pumping is complete:
turn OFF pump
disconnect the power plug
remove the connecting hose
reinstall intake and exhaust caps.
