Troubleshooting Guide 

Evacuation 

(All amount of refrigerant leaked)

• Procedure 

(1) Connect the vacuum pump to the center hose

of charge set center hose 

(2) Evacuation for approximately one hour.  

–  Confirm that the gauge needle has moved

toward -76 cmHg (vacuum of 4 mmHg or less).  

(3) Close the valve (Lo side) on the charge set,

turn off the vacuum pump, and confirm that
the gauge needle does not move (approxima-
tely 5 minutes after turning off the vacuum
pump).

(4) Disconnect the charge hose from the vacuum

pump. 

–  Vacuum pump oil.

If the vacuum pump oil becomes dirty or
depleted, replenish as needed.
