Connecting the Manifold Gauge Set


Connecting the Manifold Gauge Set

CAUTION: Only use hoses with connectors which are dedicated to HFC 134A charge ports.

Attachment of the hose quick release connectors to the high and low side system ports is straightforward, provided that the high and low valves are closed and the system is NOT operational.

WARNING: UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES SHOULD THE CONNECTIONS BE MADE WITH THE SYSTEM IN OPERATION OR THE VALVES OPEN. SHOULD THE VALVES BE OPEN AND A VACUUM PUMP OR REFRIGERANT CONTAINER ATTACHED, AN EXPLOSION COULD OCCUR AS A RESULT OF HIGH PRESSURE REFRIGERANT BEING FORCED BACK INTO THE VACUUM PUMP OR CONTAINER.

Assessment of system operating efficiency and fault classification may be achieved by using the facilities on your Recovery/Recharging/Recycling station, follow the manufacturer's instructions implicitly and observe all safety considerations.
