System Charging

CAUTIONAir conditioning refrigerant or lubricant vapor can irritate your eyes, nose, or throat. Be careful when connecting service equipment. Do not breathe refrigerant or vapor.

Note. If accidental system discharge occurs, ventilate the work area before resuming service. Additional health and safety information may be obtained from the refrigerant and lubricant manufacturers.

  1. Connect an R-134a refrigerant recovery/recycling/charging station (A) to the high-pressure service port (B) and the low-pressure service port (C), as shown, following the equipment manufacturer's instructions.
  2. Recover the refrigerant in the A/C system.
  3. Evacuate the system. If the system cannot reach a vacuum of -93.3 kPa (-700 mmHg,-27.6 inHg) in 15 minutes, or cannot hold a vacuum for at least 15 minutes, these is probably a leak. Do the refrigerant leak check, and repair any leaks before charging the system.
  4. Add the same amount of new refrigerant oil to the system that was removed during recovery. Use only DENSO ND-OIL 8 refrigerant oil.
  5. Charge the system with the specified amount of R-134a refrigerant. Do not overcharge the system; the A/C compressor will be damaged. Select the appropriate units of measure for your refrigerant charging station. Refrigerant Capacity: 700 to 750 g 0.70 to 0.75 kg 1.5 to 1.7 lbs 24.7 to 26.5 oz
  6. Check for refrigerant leaks (see «REFRIGERANT LEAK TEST»(ref-294720-S27295441942008081300000) ).
  7. Check for system performance (see «A/C SYSTEM TEST»(ref-294720-S26817449682008081300000) ).
