PLACING SYSTEM IN OPERATION
After component service or replacement has been completed, evacuate system thoroughly with a vacuum pump. Charge system with proper amount of refrigerant. See the A/C SYSTEM SPECS article in this section. Perform leak test. After system has been leak tested, check system operation.
Note. A/C systems normally will not need additional refrigerant oil unless oil loss has occurred due to ruptured lines, leaking compressor seals, compressor overhaul or component replacement.
