Air Conditioning (A/C) System Recovery, Evacuation and Charging

Air Conditioning (A/C) System Recovery, Evacuation and Charging
1. Connect the charging station.

WARNING:
- A/C refrigerant can be extremely hazardous and failure to follow the equipment manufacturers instructions may result in personal injury.
- Jaguar Cars Limited recommend the use of a charging station to carry out recover, evacuation and charging of the refrigerant system. Follow the manufactures equipment procedures and instructions. Failure to follow these instructions may result in personal injury.

CAUTION:
- The A/C refrigerant analyzer must be used before the recovery of any vehicle's A/C refrigerant. Failure to do so puts shop bulk refrigerant at risk of contamination. If the vehicle A/C refrigerant is contaminated, refer the customer to return to the repair facility that carried out the last A/C repair. If the customer wishes to pay the additional cost, use the A/C recovery equipment that is designated for recovering contaminated A/C refrigerant. All contaminated A/C refrigerant must be disposed of as hazardous waste. For all equipment, follow the equipment manufacturers procedures and instructions.
- Do not add R-12 refrigerant to an A/C system that requires the use of R-134a refrigerant. These two types of refrigerant should never be mixed. Doing so may cause damage to the A/C system.

2. Recover the refrigerant.
3. Carry out the required repair procedure.
4. Add the required amount of oil to the A/C system depending on the repair procedure.
5. Evacuate the A/C system.
6. Check the A/C system for a sufficient vacuum.
7. Charge the A/C system with refrigerant.
8. Check the A/C system for correct operation.
9. Carry out a leak detection test.
