Operation Procedure For Charging A/C With Refrigerant: Recovery

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2007 Suzuki Grand Vitara and 2006 Suzuki Grand Vitara. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

When discharging refrigerant out of A/C system, always recover it by using refrigerant recovery and recycling equipment (1). Discharging refrigerant HFC-134a (R134a) into atmosphere would cause adverse effect to environments.

NOTE:
  • After recovering refrigerant from system the amount of removed compressor oil must be measured for replenishing compressor oil. Refer to PRECAUTIONS ON REPLENISHING COMPRESSOR OIL .
  • When handling recovery and recycling equipment, be sure to follow the instruction manual for the equipment.
