Placing System In Operation

After component replacement and/or system servicing has been completed and all connections have been made, proceed as follows:

1)Evacuate the system using vacuum pump.

2)Charge the system with R-12. See Refrigerant Capacity table under A/C SYSTEM SPECS article in this section.

3) Leak-test the system, with particular attention to all new connections and components.

4) Make a performance test of the system. Never assume that a recharging has automatically corrected a problem.
