system, perform both discharge and charge of refrigerant, as
well as evacuation.
When discharging refrigerant, the one end of the green
charging hose is connected to the middle of the manifold
gauge. From the following, select the one to which the other
end of the green charging hose is connected.

Question-4

Which one of the following statements is true about


precautions to take when charging refrigerant in the A/C
system.

Do not operate A/C (compressor) when charging refrigerant on the


A
high-pressure side.
B Charge refrigerant from the low-pressure side.
Be sure to open the valve on the high-pressure side of the manifold
C gauge and operate A/C compressor when charging refrigerant on the
low-pressure side.
For charge of refrigerant on the low-pressure side, perform the
D
procedure with the service can turned over.

Question-5

Which one of the following statements is true about the


inspection method of refrigerant leaks in the A/C system.

A Start the engine and inspect at an engine speed of 1,500 rpm.


Have the tester access above the inspection area because
B
refrigerant is lighter than air.
Have the tester access to lower the inspection area because
C
refrigerant is heavier than air.
Checking the joint of piping, drain hose of the A/C unit, etc. is not
D necessary because these were already checked to be securely
connected in the installation of the A/C system.
