Open the schrader valve.
Note: The schrader valve is inside the
charging port.
2. Connect the other charge hose
of manifold valve to the vacuum
pump.
3. Fully open the Low Side handle of
the manifold valve.
4. Operate the vacuum pump to

minus), then tighten the flare nut.
The procedure verifies if there are
blocks inside the tubes.
5. Make evacuation for 15 minutes or
more and check that the compound
meter indicates -7-3/5 x 10
Microns Hg (-1x10 Pa). After the
evacuation is completed, fully close
the Low Side handle of the manifold
valve and stop the operation of the
vacuum pump.
