2. Measure the amount of refrigerant oil removed from the A/C system after the recovery process is
completed. Be sure to install the same amount of new refrigerant oil back into the A/C system before

SYSTEM EVACUATION
Use only service equipment that is U.L-listed and is certified to meet the requirements of SAE J2210 to remove
HFC-134a (R-134a) from the air conditioning system.
If accidental system discharge occurs, ventilate work area before resuming service.
Additional health and safety information may be obtained from the refrigerant and lubricant manufacturers.
1. When an A/C System has been opened to the atmosphere, such as during installation or repair, it must be
evacuated using an R-134a refrigerant Recovery/Recycling/Charging System. (If the system has been
open for several days, the receiver/dryer should be replaced, and the system should be evacuated for
several hours.)
2. Connect an R-134a refrigerant Recovery/Recycling/Charging System (A) to the high-pressure service
port (B) and the low-pressure service port (C) as shown in
Fig. 7
, following the equipment manufacturer's
instructions.
