  1. Ensure A/C system has no leaks and has been evacuated. See EVACUATING A/C SYSTEM  and LEAK TESTING  . If using a separate vacuum pump, close all valves before disconnecting pump. Connect approved recovery/recycling equipment and manifold gauge set to A/C service ports.
  2. Measure specified quantity of refrigerant and oil. See REFRIGERANT OIL & REFRIGERANT SPECIFICATIONS article. Refer to recovery/recycling equipment operating instructions. Ensure engine is off. Open suction and discharge valves. Open equipment charge valve to allow refrigerant to flow into A/C system. When refrigerant transfer has stopped, close valves.
  3. If all of refrigerant did not transfer, set parking brake and transmission to Park (A/T) or Neutral (M/T). Start engine and allow to idle at approximately 700 RPM. Close all windows and turn A/C on. Set A/C controls to 100 percent outside air, panel mode, blower motor to high speed and temperature to maximum cold.
  4. If compressor does not engage, check clutch operation and control circuit. Perform repairs as necessary. Open suction valve (low pressure) to allow remaining refrigerant to transfer to A/C system. DO NOT open discharge (high pressure) valve at this time.
