, 14 psi}
, close the low-pressure
side valve of the manifold gauge.
16. Inspect for leakage from the cooler pipe/hose connections using a gas leak tester.
If there is no leakage, go to Step 18.
If leakage is found at a loose joint, tighten the joint, go to next step.
17. Inspect for leakage again.
If there is no leakage after tightening the joint, go to next step.
If there is still a leakage at the same joint, discharge the refrigerant and then repair the joint. Repeat
the charging procedure from Step 7.
