Procedure:
1. Connect the charge hose to the charging cylinder.
Connect the charge hose which you disconnected from the vacuum pump to the valve at the bottom
of the cylinder. If the refrigerant is R410A, make the cylinder bottom up to ensure liquid charge.
2. Purge the air from the charge hose.
Open the valve at the bottom of the cylinder and press the check valve on the charge set to purge
the air (be careful of the liquid refrigerant).
3. Open the valves (Low side) on the charge set and charge the system with liquid refrigerant.
4. Disconnect the charge hose from the 3-way valve’s service port immediately.
Stopping partway will allow the refrigerant to be discharged.
If the system has been charged with liquid refrigerant while operating the air conditioner, turn off the
air conditioner before disconnecting the hose.
5. Mounted the valve stem caps and the service port
Use torque wrench to tighten the service port cap.
Be sure to check for gas leakage.
