Procedure
A: PROCEDURE
CAUTION:
• During operation, be sure to wear protective
goggles and protective gloves.
• Connect the refrigerant recovery system with
the manifold gauge set to discharge the refrig-
erant from the A/C system and recycle the gas.
• When recycling the discharged refrigerant,
keep service cans on hand. Because the recov-
ery rate with the recovery system is approx.
90%, service cans are necessary to charge the
refrigerant.
• Follow the detailed operation procedure de-
scribed in the operation manual attached to the
refrigerant recovery system.
1) Perform the compressor oil return operation.
<Ref. to AC-24, PROCEDURE, Compressor Oil.>
2) Stop the engine.

of manifold gauge set are fully closed.
