•Direct charging with a manifold gauge charging
station method.
Handling the charge valve handle when installing refrigerant
container.
1) Before attaching the charge valve to the refrigerant
container, turn the charge valve handle counterclockwise
until the needle is fully retracted.
2) Turn the plate nut counterclockwise until it reaches its
highest position relative to the charge valve.
3) Install the charge valve onto the refrigerant container.
4) Turn the plate nut clockwise and connec t the c enter hos e o
the manifold gauge to the charge valve.
5) Tighten the plate nut sufficiently by hand. Then turn the
charge valve handle cloc kwise to lower the needle and bor e
a hole in the refrigerant container.
6) Turn the charge valve handle counterclockwise to raise the
needle. The refrigerant in the refrigerant container is
charged into the air c onditioning sys tem by the operation o
the manifold gauge.
•
••
•Be absolutely sure not to reuse the emptied refrigerant
container.
1) Make sure the evacuation process is correctly completed.
2) Connect the center-hose of the manifold gauge to the
refrigerant container.
•
••
•Turn the charge valve handle counterclock wise to purge
to charging line and purge any air exiting in the center-
hose of the manifold gauge.
3) Open the low-pressure hand valve and charge the
refrigerant about 200 g (0.44 lbs.).
•
••
•Make sure the high-pressure hand valve is closed.
•
••
•Avoid charging the refrigerant by turning the refrigerant
container upside down.
4) Close the low-pressure hand valve of the manifold gauge.
•
••
•Check to ensure that the degree of pressure does not
change.
5) Check the refrigerant leaks by using a R-134a leak
detector.
•
••
•If a leak occurs, repair the leak connection, and start all
over again from the first step of evacuation.
6) If no leaks are found, open the low-pressure hand valve o
the manifold gauge. Then continue charging refrigerant to
the system.
•
••
•When charging the system becomes difficult:
(1) Run the engine at 1,300∼1,500 rpm and open the all
vehicle doors.
(2)A/C switch is "ON".
(3) Set the fan control knob (fan switch) to its highest
position.
