5. CHECKING AND CHARGING REFRIGERANT
CYCLE
[1] CHECKING WITH MANIFOLD GAUGE
IMPORTANT
• The gauge indications described in the following testing are those taken under the same condition, so it
should be noted that the gauge readings will differs somewhat with the ambient conditions.
Condition
• Ambient temperature: 30 to 35 °C (86 to 95 °F)
• Engine speed: Approx. 1500 min
-1
(rpm)
• Temperature control lever: Maximum cooling position
• Blower switch:
HI position

Manifold Gauge Connecting and Test Preparation
1. Close the manifold gauge HI and LO pressure side valve (3), (4)
tightly.
2. Connect the charging hose (red) (2) to the HI pressure side
charging valve (7) and connect the charging hose (blue) (1) to
the
LO pressure side charging valve (6).
NOTE
• Be sure to drive out the air in the charging hoses at the
manifold gauge connection end by utilizing the refrigerant
pressure in the refrigerating cycle.
3. Start the engine and set at approx. 1500 min
-1
(rpm).
4. Turn on the A/C switch and set the temperature control dial to
maximum cooling position.
5. Set the blower switch to HI position.

Normal Operating
If the refrigerating cycle is operating normally, the reading at the
LO pressure side (1) should be generally by around 0.15 to
0.19 MPa (1.5 to 2.0 kgf/cm
2
, 22 to 28 psi) and that at the HI
pressure side (2) around 1.3 to 1.6 MPa (13 to 17 kgf/cm
2
, 190 to
240 psi).
