To Conduct a Performance A/C System Test:
1.
A performance test indicates air conditioning system condition by measuring system
pressures with the engine running.
2.
Turn the Red Thumb Handle (11) and Blue Thumb Handle (11) clockwise to the CLOSED
positions. See
FIGURE 1, above.
WARNING: DO NOT, AT ANY TIME, OPEN the Thumb Handles (11) or refrigerant will be
