3. Refrigerant Recovery
Procedure
S701291
A: OPERATION
CAUTION:
¼ During operation, be sure to wear safety
goggles and protective gloves.
¼ Connect the refrigerant recovery system
with the manifold gauge set to discharge the
refrigerant from the A/C system and reuse it.
¼ When reusing the discharged refrigerant,
keep service cans on hand. Because the dis-
charge rate with the recovery system is approx.
90%, service cans are necessary to charge the
refrigerant.
¼ Follow the detailed operation procedure
described in the operation manual attached to
the refrigerant recovery system.
1) Turn the A/C switch ON.
Leave the engine running for approx. 5 minutes to
activate the compressor. Perform the refrigerating
cycle with the refrigerant to discharge the com-
pressor oil remaining on the functional parts into
the compressor as much as possible.
2) Stop the engine.
3) Close the valves on the low-/high-pressure
sides of the manifold gauge set.
4) Install the low-/high-pressure hoses to the ser-
vice ports on the low-/high-pressure sides of the
vehicle respectively.
5) Connect the center hose to the refrigerant
recovery system.
