Manifold Gauge Set Connection

SPECIAL TOOLS

WARNING: USE EXTREME CARE AND OBSERVE ALL SAFETY PRECAUTIONS RELATED TO THE USE OF REFRIGERANTS.

NOTE:
^ Hoses should have shutoff devices or check valves within 305 mm (12 in) of the hose end to minimize the introduction of non-condensable gases (air) into the recovery station, as well as to minimize the amount of refrigerant released when the hoses are disconnected.
^ Follow the equipment manufacturers procedures and instructions.

1. Turn both valves on R-134a Manifold Gauge Set all the way to the left to close the low-pressure and high-pressure hoses to the center manifold and center hose.
2. Remove the A/C charging valve caps from the low- and high-pressure gauge port valves.
3. Connect R-134a Manifold Gauge Set low-pressure hose and R-134a Low Side Quick disconnect to the low-pressure gauge port valve.
4. Connect R-134a Manifold Gauge Set high-pressure hose and R-134a High Side Quick Disconnect to the high-pressure gauge port valve.
