A/C refrigerant system, checking pressures: Checking: Notes
- Switch ignition off.
- Connect high pressure hose of refrigerant recovery/recycling/recharging unit Kent-Moore ACR4 , or equivalent, to high pressure service connection. See A/C SYSTEM, QUICK COUPLING CONNECTIONS .
- Leave low pressure hose of refrigerant recovery/recycling/recharging unit disconnected.
NOTE:
Only the high pressure service valve is used for A/C system servicing. Perform all A/C system service operations (i.e. discharging, evacuating and charging) through the high pressure service valve only.
