Removal of Manifold Gauge Set
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2011 Suzuki SX4. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
WARNING:
If the manifold gauge set is removed carelessly, refrigerant under pressure may spray out of the high-pressure side of the A/C system. The refrigerant could contact your eyes or skin, causing injury. Remove the manifold gauge set carefully, following the instructions provided below.
For the A/C system charged with the specified amount of refrigerant, remove manifold gauge set as follows:
- Close low pressure side valve of manifold gauge set. (The high pressure side valve is closed continuously during the process of charging.)
- Close refrigerant container valve.
- Stop engine.
- Using shop rag, remove charging hoses from service valves. This operation must be performed quickly.
- Put caps on service valves.
