8. VACUUM PUMPING
General Clause:
a Vacuum pumping should be done more than 60 minutes from 2 portions.
One portion at high - pressure side and one portion at low - pressure side.
b Be sure the Adaptor good connect to vacuum pump.
The Adaptor can stop oil flow from Vacuum Pump to Cooling Unit HFC-134a, after
Manifold Gauge and Charge Hose vacuum condition.
c
Be sure the rapir tools which are exclusive use for HFC-134a (except vacuum pump).

state
1.
Run the vacuum pump for 30 minutes before connecting. This is to resume the vacuum by
evaporating the cleaning liquid which is blent in the pump oil.
2.
Connect repair tools such as control valve, manifold gauge, charge hose, coupler socket,
charge cylinder as shown in the figure.
3.
Connect the adaptor with vacuum pump properly and turn the switch to HFC-134a use.
4.
Run the vacuum pump and open each valve (3 portions) of manifold gauge and check the
vacuum.
Note:
1. Check the reading of manifold gauge before use.
2.
If the reading at low-pressure gauge does not reach 760 mmHg while the vacuum pump
alone is running, there is aleakage or something is wrong with the pump, check the
rubber packing of hose and the deterioration of vacuum pump oil.
3.
Check the vacuum level by read the Vacuum Gauge periodicly, if gauge indication over
from 0.5 torr, change the oil vacuum pump and check the packing rubber.
4. For High Pressure
Insert the coupler plug to compressor charge pipe and lock the lever. Then connect the
coupler plug with coupler socket.
For Low Pressure
Inert the coupler plug to dryer charge pipe and lock the lever. Then connect the coupler
plug with coupler socket.
5.
After 2 minutes vacuum pumping, close the valve form manifold gauge and control
valve, make sure the indicator gauge no move.
6.
Open the Valve from manifold gauge and control valve, and one again vacuum
pumping more than 60 minutes.
7.
When to finish vacuum pumping, disconnect the coupler Socket at High Pressure and
close both Valve (red and yellow) from manifold Gauge. then stop the vacuum pumping.
