CAUTION: The A/C refrigerant analyzer 198-00001 or equivalent must be used before the recovery of any vehicle's A/C refrigerant. Failure to do so puts shop's bulk refrigerant at risk of contamination. If the vehicle's A/C refrigerant is contaminated, refer the customer to return to the service facility that performed the last A/C service. If the customer wishes to pay the additional cost, use the A/C recovery equipment that is designated for recovering contaminated A/C refrigerant. All contaminated A/C refrigerant must be disposed of as hazardous waste. For all equipment, follow the equipment manufacturer's procedures and instructions.

1. Use R-134a A/C Service Center 176-00001 or equivalent to evacuate and recover the A/C system. Discharging and Recovery

NOTE: Ford Motor Company supports the efficient usage, recovery, and recycling of the refrigerant used in passenger car, compact truck, and light truck air conditioners. Ford recommends the use of a U.L.-approved recovery/recycling device such as R-134a A/C Service Center 176-00001 or equivalent (which meets SAE Standard J 1991) during any A/C system repair and recharge procedure which requires that the system be evacuated.
