Available Procedures

CAUTION: Never charge the air conditioning system through the high-pressure side of the system. Component damage and personal injury could result.


If the system has been opened for any repair or the Refrigerant-12 charge lost, the system must be evacuated prior to charging.

Evacuation and charging is a combined procedure, and all gage lines must be purged with Refrigerant-12 prior to charging.

There are two evacuation and charging procedures:

1. J 23500-01 Charging Station Method

2. Refrigerant Drum Method


NOTICE: Under no circumstances should alcohol be used in the system in an attempt to remove moisture. Damage to the system components could occur.
