WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 1997 Jeep Wrangler, 1997 Jeep Grand Cherokee, and 1997 Jeep Cherokee. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
Refrigerant recovery/recycling equipment is used to remove refrigerant from vehicle's A/C system without polluting atmosphere. To remove and recycle refrigerant, ALWAYS follow instructions provided with the refrigerant recovery/recycling equipment being used.
The removed refrigerant is filtered, dried and stored in a tank within the recovery/recycling equipment until it is ready to be pumped back into the vehicle's A/C system.
CAUTION:
Separate sets of hoses, gauges and refrigerant recovery/recycling equipment MUST be used for R-12 and R-134a systems. DO NOT mix R-12 and R-134a refrigerants, as their refrigerant oils and desiccants are NOT compatible.
Manufacturer recommends using refrigerant recovery/recycling equipment which meets SAE standard J1991. Always use instructions provided with the recovery/recycling equipment being used.
