4. Evacuate as follows.
1) Connect the vacuum pump, as illustrated Figure
18A.
2) Start the vacuum pump, slowly open manifold
valves A and B with two full turns
counterclockwise and leave the valves open.
The vacuum pump is now pulling through valves
A and B up to valve C by means of the manifold

3) Operate the vacuum pump for 20 to 30 minutes,
until 600 microns of vaccum is obtained. Close
valves A and B, and observe vacuum gauge for
a few minutes. A rise in pressure would
indicate a possible leak or moisture remaining in
the system. With valves A and B closed, stop
the vacuum pump.

Discharge the line at the manifold connection.
5) The system is now ready for final charging.
5. Recharge as follows :
1) Refrigeration cycle systems are charged from
the High-side. If the total charge can not be put
in the High-side, the balance will be put in the
suction line through the access valve which you
installed as the system was opened.

manifold connection.
With valve C open, discharge the hose at the

3) Open valve A and allow the proper charge to
enter the system. Valve B is still closed.
4) If more charge is required, the High-side will not
take it. Close valve A.
5) With the unit running, open valve B and add the
balance of the charge.

charge is in the system.
6) When satisfied the unit is operating correctly,
use the pinch-off tool with the unit still running
and clamp on to the pinch-off tube. Using a tube
cutter, cut the pinch-off tube about 2 inches from
the pinch-off tool. Use sil-fos solder and solder
pinch-off tube closed. Turn off the unit, allow it to
set for a while, and then test the leakage of the
pinch-off connection.

NOTES
If high vacuum equipment is used, just crack
valves A and B for a few minutes, then open
slowly with the two full turns counterclockwise.
This will keep oil from foaming and being
drawn into the vacuum pump.
