Workpiece and Work Area Set Up
1. Designate a work area that is clean
and well-lit. The work area must not
allow access by children or pets to
prevent distraction and injury.
2. Vehicle exhaust fumes and accumulated
refrigerant gas can kill you. Do not operate
vehicle’s engine or service air conditioner
in enclosed or poorly ventilated area.
3. Route the power cord along a safe route
to reach the work area without creating a
tripping hazard or exposing the power cord
to possible damage. The power cord must
reach the work area with enough extra length
to allow free movement while working.
4. Set the vehicle’s parking brake,
block the tires, and set the vehicle’s
transmission to neutral or park.
General Operating Instructions
TO pREVENT SERIOUS INJURy AND DEATH FROM EXpLOSION:
Service of air conditioning systems must be done only by trained
and experienced technician to avoid overfilling.
Technicians opening refrigeration circuit in automotive air conditioning systems MUST be
certified in refrigerant recovery and recycling procedures in compliance with section 609 of
clean Air Act Amendments of 1990. For additional information regarding ozone depletion
and air conditioning service regulations, visit EpA’s website: www.epa.gov/ozone
1. Before operating the Vacuum Pump,
check the oil level as explained under
Tool Set Up
on page 7.
2. Use only one Inlet Fitting at a time. Keep
the other Fitting capped while not in use.
3. Turn the vehicle/appliance
and AC system OFF.
4. As appropriate, attach the R-12,
R-22, or R-134A manifold to the AC
drain port of the vehicle/appliance.
This is a “quick release” fitting. The drain
port is generally the lower of the two manifold
ports and will be located downstream from
the compressor in the vehicle/appliance.
Refer to the vehicle/appliance owner’s
manual for vehicle-specific information.
5. Attach an AC refrigerant recovery
system and drain the refrigerant.
6. After reaching 26 to 28 in/hg vacuum,
stop and disconnect the recovery system.
7. Attach this Vacuum Pump and run
for 10 minutes to further raise the
vacuum level inside the AC system.
8. Turn the Switch ON.
9. The vacuum will build for approximately
2 minutes before reaching full power.
Allow the Pump to operate for approximately
10 minutes to thoroughly remove all
moisture and gas from the system.
10. The Gauge (not included) should show
negative pressure and maintain that reading
for 10 minutes. If, during that time the
pressure reading rises back toward “0”,
there may be a leak in the system.
11. Close all valves on the Manifold
(sold separately), and turn the Switch OFF
before disconnecting the hose
from the vacuum fitting.
12. To prevent accidents, unplug
the Power Cord after use.
13. Allow the Vacuum Pump to completely
cool before wiping down and storing
indoors out of children’s reach.
NOTE:
The process is the same for both vehicle and other refrigeration systems.
