I. Objective: Discharge A/C System

Task Description Score Remarks
No.
1 Connect manifold gauge to A/C system 0-5
correctly.
2 Slowly open the high pressure valve slightly to 0-5
let refrigerant flow from center hose only. Do
not open the valve too wide. Make sure no oil is
being discharged with the refrigerant.
3 After the high pressure gauge reading has 0-5
dropped below 1, 000 kPa (10kg/cm2, 142
psi), open the low side valve to discharge both
high and low sides of the system.
4 As system pressure drops, gradually open both 0-5
high and low side valves fully until both
gauges indicate 0 kPa (o kg/cm2, 0 psi)

II. Objective: Evacuate A/C System

Task Description Score Remarks
No.
1 Connect manifold gauge to A/C system 0-5
correctly.
2 Start pump, and then open both hand valves. 0-5
3 Perform leak test after running the pump for 0-5
15 minutes.
4 If there are no leaks, open the valves and 0-5
continue pumping for at least 15 minutes.
5 Close both valves and stop the pump. 0-5
III. Objective: Charge A/C system
Task Description Score Remarks

1 Connect manifold gauge to A/C system
0-5
correctly.
2 Start engine 0-5
3 Open the front door.
Turn A?C switch ON.
0-5
Set the temperature control lever to MAX.
COOL.
4 Open the low pressure valve and charge system
0-5
with refrigerant capacity.
5 When fully charged, close the low pressure
0-5
valve and the refrigerant cans.
6 Stop the engine and disconnect the hoses
0-5
quickly.
