PLACING SYSTEM IN OPERATION

After component replacement and/or system servicing has been completed and all connections have been made, proceed as follows

  1. Evacuate the system using a vacuum pump.
  2. Charge the system with new R-12 (refrigerant) according to each individual vehicle as outlined in the «GENERAL COOLING SYSTEM»(ref-2185) article under GENERAL INFORMATION. Also see Refrigerant Capacity in this Section.
  3. Leak test the system, with particular attention to all new connections and components.
  4. Make a performance test of the system. Never assume that a recharging has automatically corrected a problem.
