Refrigerant Recovery Procedure: Operation

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2003 Subaru Impreza. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
CAUTION:
  • During operation, be sure to wear safety goggles and protective gloves.
  • Connect the refrigerant recovery system with the manifold gauge set to discharge the refrigerant from the A/C system and reuse it.
  • When reusing the discharged refrigerant, keep service cans on hand. Because the discharge rate with the recovery system is approximately 90%, service cans are necessary to charge the refrigerant.
  • Follow the detailed operation procedure described in the operation manual attached to the refrigerant recovery system.
  1. Perform the compressor oil return operation. See OPERATION  , Compressor Oil.
  2. Stop the engine.
  3. Close the valves on the low-high-pressure sides of the manifold gauge set.
