	System Evacuation
	Use only service equipment that is U.L-listed and is certified to meet the requirements 
	of SAE J2210 to remove HFC-134a(R-134a) from the air conditioning system.

		| 1. | 
			When an A/C system has been opened to the atmosphere, such as during 
			installation or repair, it must be evacuated using a R-134a refrigerant 
			Recovery/Recycling/Charging system. (If the system has been open for 
			several days, the receiver/drier should be replaced, and the system 
			should be evacuated for several hours.) | 
	
		| 2. | 
			Connect a R-134a refrigerant Recovery/Recycling/Charging system (A) 
			to the high-pressure service port (B) and the low-pressure service port 
			(C) as shown, following the equipment manufacturer's instructions. 
		 | 
	
		| 3. | 
			If the low-pressure does not reach more than 93.3 kPa (700 mmHg, 27.6 
			in.Hg) in 10 minutes, there is probably a leak in the system. Partially 
			charge the system, and check for leaks (see Refrigerant Leak Test.) | 
	
		| 4. | 
			Remove the low pressure valve from the low-pressure service port. | 
	System Charging
	Use only service equipment that is U.L-listed and is certified to meet the requirements 
	of SAE J2210 to remove HFC-134a(R-134a) from the air conditioning system.

		| 1. | 
			Connect a R-134a refrigerant 
			Recovery/Recycling/Charging system (A) to the high-pressure service 
			port (B) as shown, following the equipment manufacturer's instructions. 
		 | 
	
		| 2. | 
			Add the same amount of new refrigerant oil to the system that was removed 
			during recovery. Use only specified refrigerant oil. Charge the system 
			with [Single front only : 650 ± 25g (20.9 ± 0.88oz) , Dual front & rear 
			: 850 ± 25g (29.9 ± 0.88oz)] R-134a refrigerant. Do not overcharge the 
			system the compressor will be damaged. | 
	Refrigerant Leak Test
	Always conduct a leak test with an electronic leak detector whenever leakage 
	or refrigerant is suspected and when conducting service operations which are 
	accompanied by disassembly or loosening or connection fittings.
	
		| 
			In order to use the leak detector properly, read the manual supplied 
			by the manufacturer. | 
	If a gas leak is detected, proceed as follows:
	
		| 1. | 
			Check the torque on the connection fittings and, if too loose, tighten 
			to the proper torque. Check for gas leakage with a leak detector (A). | 
	
		| 2. | 
			If leakage continues even after the fitting has been tightened, discharge 
			the refrigerant from the system, disconnect the fittings, and check 
			their seating faces for damage. Always replace, even if the damage is 
			slight. | 
	
		| 3. | 
			Check the compressor oil and add oil if required. | 
	
		| 4. | 
			Charge the system and recheck for gas leaks. If no leaks are found, 
			evacuate and charge the system again.

		| Refrigerant System Service 
		Basics (R-1234yf) | 
	Refrigerant Identification
	
		| • | 
			Do not mix HFO-1234yf (R-1234yf) in the vehicle with other refrigerant, 
			such as R-12, R-134a and etc. | 
	
		| • | 
			Use only service equipment that is U.L-listed and is certified to meet 
			the requirements of SAE standards to recover and recycle R-1234yf from 
			the air conditioning system. Do not use service equipment for the other 
			refrigerant, such as R-12, R-134a and etc. | 
	
		| • | 
			Verify what refrigerant is in the system if there is concern that the 
			system has been tampered with in any way and check the type and quantity 
			of refrigerant that shall be in the A/C system and potential issues 
			arising from accidental or intentional mixing of refrigerants. | 
	
		| • | 
			Using an SAE certified refrigerant identification device is recommended 
			to prevent improper recovery and the resulting further spread of contaminated 
			refrigerant, which could potentially damage other A/C systems and service 
			equipment. Contaminated refrigerant (blend of more than one refrigerant 
			or non-system refrigerant) in recovery/recycling equipment could lead 
			to the potential contamination of more refrigerant. | 
	
		| • | 
			Certain types of electronic leak detection devices (heated diode or 
			corona discharge) as well as motors, switches, and controls on recovery 
			and recycling machines, could generate sparks that could serve as ignition 
			sources in the presence of refrigerants classified as flammable (A2 
			or A3) by ASHRAE standard 34 2006. | 
	
		| • | 
			It is possible that the mixing of refrigerants in a A/C system can result 
			in higher-than-expected system pressures, system and component damage, 
			diagnostic errors and/or other potential hazards to people and environment. | 
	
		| • | 
			In case other refrigerant is mixed, recover the contaminated refrigerant 
			in the A/C system and dispose it in accordance with all applicable national, 
			regional or local regulations. Clean inside the A/C system using the 
			specialized detergent and recharge new refrigerant. |
