Note:
  • Use only the HFC-134a (R-134a) sensor kit.
  • Use a vacuum pump adapter with a built-in one-way valve to prevent oil from the pump from entering the system.


Warning

When working with refrigerant HFC-134a (R-134a):
  • Always wear eye protection.
  • Avoid contact with skin or eyes.

If this happened, then:

-Do not rub your skin or eyes.

- Rinse eyes or skin with plenty of cold water.

-Contact a doctor or medical facility for immediate help, do not try to help yourself.
  • Store containers with HFC-134a (R-134a) refrigerant at temperatures below 40°C.
  • Keep away from open flames, the refrigerant itself is not flammable, but releases toxic gases when in contact with flame.
  • Work in a well-ventilated area. The refrigerant evaporates very quickly and can displace all the air in a small, enclosed space.


1. Close the outlet valve (two-valve kit - release blocking valve).

Three-valve set:

2. Open the containers.

3. Open the high pressure valve to charge the system to approximately 98 kPa (1.0 kgf/cm²), then close the valve.

4. Check the system for leaks using a gas detector for R-134a.

Note: Spot check for leaks around the compressor, condenser and tank/dryer.




5. If you find any leaks, tighten the nuts or bolts of the connections to the specified torque.

6. Recheck the system for leaks with a detector,

7. If you find leaks again, this requires opening the system (for repair or replacement of hoses, connections, etc.), release all available charge from the system.

8. After checking (and/or elimination) the system must be completely discharged for leaks.
