Refrigerant System Charging

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2007 Mercury Mariner and 2007 Ford Escape. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
NOTE: Use of a refrigerant center is recommended to carry out recovery, evacuation and charging of the refrigerant system. If a refrigerant center is not available, refrigerant system recovery, evacuation and charging may be accomplished using a separate recovery station, vacuum pump, charging meter and manifold gauge set.
NOTE: Leaks in refrigerant system equipment, hoses or gauges can cause a leak in vacuum that may be misinterpreted as a problem with the vehicle refrigerant system. It is necessary to leak-test all refrigerant system equipment, hoses and gauges on a weekly basis to verify that no leaks are present.
  1. Lubricate the refrigerant system with the correct amount of clean PAG oil. For additional information, refer to Refrigerant Oil Adding .
  2. Assemble the R-134a manifold gauge set, automatic refrigerant charging meter and R-134a supply tank following the automatic refrigerant charging meter operating instructions.
  3. Charge the refrigerant system following the automatic refrigerant charging meter operating instructions.
  4. If the refrigerant flow stops before the refrigerant charge is complete, start the engine, select A/C operation and allow the refrigerant charge to complete.
