Recycle Refrigerant


WARNING:
- Always use HFC-134a for A/C refrigerant. If CFC-12 is accidentally charged, compressor will be damaged due to insufficient lubrication.
- Always observe and follow precautions described on refrigerant container. Incorrect handling may result in an explosion of refrigerant container, frostbite, or the loss of eyesight.
- Never breathe A/C refrigerant and lubricant vapor or mist. Exposure may irritate eyes, nose, or throat.
- Never allow HFC-134a to be exposed to an open flame etc. because it generates poisonous gas when in contact with high temperature objects. Keep workshop well ventilated.
1.Perform oil return operation. Perform Oil Return Operation. (If refrigerant or lubricant leakage is detected in a large amount, omit this step, and then GO TO 2.)

CAUTION:
Never perform oil return operation if a large amount of refrigerant or oil leakage is detected.
2.Check gauge pressure readings of recovery/recycling/recharging equipment. When remaining pressure exists, recycle refrigerant from high-pressure hose and low-pressure hose.
NOTE:
Follow manufacturer instructions for the handling or maintenance of the equipment. Never fill the equipment with non-specified refrigerant.
3.Remove A/C service valve cap from the vehicle.
4.Connect recovery/recycling/recharging equipment to A/C service valve.
5.Operate recovery/recycling/recharging equipment, and recycle refrigerant from the vehicle.
6.Evacuate air for 10 minutes or more to remove any remaining refrigerant mixed with compressor oil, etc.
7.Refrigerant recycle operation is complete.
