Charging; Charging Procedure - Suzuki Jimny Service Manual

Charging

CAUTION:
• Always charge through low pressure side of A/C sys-
tem at after the initial charging is performed from the
high pressure side with the engine stopped.
• Never charge to high pressure side of A/C system with
engine running.
• Do not charge while compressor is hot.
• When installing tap valve to refrigerant container to
make a hole there through, carefully follow directions
given by manufacturer.
• A pressure gauge should always be used before and
during charging.
• The refrigerant container should be emptied of refrig-
erant when discarding it.
• The refrigerant container should not be heated up to
40 °C (104 °F) or over.
• Refrigerant container should not be reversed in direc-
tion during charging. Reversing in direction causes liq-
uid refrigerant to enter compressor, causing troubles,
such as compression of liquid refrigerant and the like.
NOTE:
The air conditioning system contains HFC-134a (R-134a).
Described here is a method to charge the air conditioning
system with refrigerant from the refrigerant service con-
tainer.
When charging refrigerant recovered by using the refrig-
erant and recycling equipment (when recycling refriger-
ant), follow the procedure described in the equipment
manufacturer's instruction manual.

Charging procedure

The initial charging of the A/C system is performed from the high
pressure side with the engine stopped.
And next, this method must be followed by charging from the low
pressure side with the engine running.
1) Check to make sure that hoses are routed properly after
evacuating the system.
