Operation CHARM: Car repair manuals for everyone.

General Description


The Air Conditioning Refrigerant Recovery, Recycling and Recharging (ACR4) System (J 39500) removes Refrigerant-134a from the vehicle A/C system, recycles and recharges all with one hook-up.

Single pass filtering during recovery cycle, plus automatic multiple pass filtering during the evacuation cycle assures constant supply of clean/dry refrigerant for A/C system charging.

NOTICE: R-12 and R-134a require separate and non-interchangeable sets of recovery, recycling and recharging equipment because the refrigerants and lubricants are not compatible and cannot be mixed even in the smallest amounts.

NOTICE: Do not attempt to use one set of equipment for both R-12 and R-134a. All equipment will contain residue amounts of refrigerant and/or lubricant, which will result in contamination and damage to the recovery/recycling equipment.

NOTICE: Refrigerant-134a systems have special fittings (per SAE specifications) to avoid cross-contamination with Refrigerant-12 systems. Do not attempt to adapt this unit to Refrigerant-12 systems. Severe system failure will result.
