the high-side gauge reading rises, the pinch-
off must be corrected before proceeding.

and solder the process tube closed.
13. Clamp the low-side process tube with the
pinch-off tool while the unit is running.
Remove the low-side process tube adaptor
and solder the process tube closed.
14. Check the process tubes for refrigerant leaks.
Final Leak Test
1. With the refrigerator turned OFF leak test all
low-side system components.
2. Turn the unit ON and run until the condenser
is warm. Leak test the high-side system
components.
