Discharging, Adding Oil, Evacuating, and Charging Procedures for A/C System: Evacuation
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.
The unit tank must contain a sufficient amount of R-134a refrigerant for charging. Check the amount of refrigerant in the tank. If there is less than 3.6 kg (8 pounds) of refrigerant, add new refrigerant to the tank.
- Verify that the high-side and the low-side hoses are connected to the A/C system. Open both the high-side and the low-side valves on the unit's control panel.
- Open both the gas and the liquid valves on the tank.
- Start the vacuum pump and begin the evacuation process. Non-condensable gases (mostly air) are vented from the tank automatically during the recycling process. You may hear the pressure being released.
- Check for leaks in the system.
