   Remove the dust covers from the high and low pressure connections.

3. Connect the high and low pressure lines to the appropriate connections.
4. WARNING: Refrigerant must always be recycled before re-use to make sure that the purity of the refrigerant is high enough for safe use in the air conditioning (A/C) system. Recycling should always be carried out with equipment which is design certified for compliance with SAE J2099 and SAE J2788. Other equipment may not recycle refrigerant to the required level of purity. A R-134a Refrigerant Recover Recycling Recharging station must not be used with any other type of refrigerant. Refrigerant R-134a from domestic and commercial sources must not be used in motor vehicles air conditioning systems.

   Following the manufacturer's instructions, recover the refrigerant from the air conditioning (A/C) system.

   • Measure and record the quantity of refrigerant oil recovered from the system.
5. CAUTION:

   • Before disconnecting any components, make sure the area is clean and free from foreign material. When disconnected all openings must be sealed.
   • Always follow the health and safety precautions when handling the refrigerant R-134a.
   • Collect the refrigerant in specialist equipment and reuse.

   Disconnect the high and low pressure connections.

6. Evacuation.
7. Connect the high and low pressure lines to the appropriate connections.
8. Following the manufacturer's instructions, evacuate the A/C system.
9. NOTE: The desiccant bag need only be changed under the following circumstances: There is dirt in the refrigerant circuit (For example: compressor seizure), the system is leaking and refrigerant has been lost to atmosphere, or the refrigerant circuit has been open more than 24 hours, due to repair.

10. CAUTION: The system must be vacuumed for 30 minutes immediately before recharging commences. Delay between vacuum and recharging is not permitted.

    Recharging

11. Make sure the correct amount of oil is added to the A/C system before or during recharging. For additional information, Refer to: SPECIFICATIONS  (412-00 Climate Control System - General Information, Specifications).
12. Recharge the A/C system to the correct specification. For additional information, Refer to: SPECIFICATIONS  (412-00 Climate Control System - General Information, Specifications).
13. Disconnect the high and low pressure connections.
