Refrigerant Recovery

WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 6 other vehicles, including the 2008 Suzuki Reno, 2008 Suzuki Forenza, 2007 Suzuki Reno, 2007 Suzuki Forenza, and 2006 Suzuki Reno. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
CAUTION: Use only a refrigerant tank that is designed for the charging station in use. The unit's overfill limitation mechanism is calibrated specifically for use with this tank. The tank's valves are also manufactured specifically for this unit.
  1. Attach the high-side hose with the quick disconnect coupler to the high-side fitting of the vehicle's A/C system.
  2. Open the coupler valve.
  3. Attach the low-side hose with the quick disconnect coupler to the low-side fitting of the vehicle's A/C system.
  4. Open the coupler valve.
  5. Check the high-side and the low-side gauges on the unit's control panel in order to ensure that the A/C system has pressure. If there is no pressure, there is no refrigerant in the system to recover.
  6. Open both the high-side and the low-side valves.
  7. Open the gas and the liquid valves on the tank.
  8. Drain any oil that may be in the oil separator.
  9. Close the oil drain valve.
  10. Plug the unit into the proper voltage outlet.
  11. Turn on the main power switch.
  12. Begin the recovery process.
  13. Wait 5 minutes, then check the control panel low-side gauge. If the A/C has maintained vacuum, the recovery is complete.
  14. If the low-side gauge pressure rises above zero, there is more refrigerant in the system. Recover the additional refrigerant. Repeat this step until the system maintains vacuum for 2 minutes.
