Operation Procedure for Refrigerant Charge: Recovery

When discharging refrigerant out of A/C system, always recover it by using refrigerant recovery and recycling equipment because discharging refrigerant HFC-134a (R-134a) 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.
When handling recovery and recycling equipment, be sure to follow the instruction manual for the equipment.
