TEST
1)Remove service port caps fromstop valves on both sides
of refrigerant lines. (The stop valves are fully closed when
shipped.)Leaveclosed.
2)Connectgaugemanifoldtoportsofstopvalves.
3)Evacuate thesystemto 4000 microns from both service
valves.Systemmanifoldgaugesmustnotbeusedtomeasure
vacuum. A micron gauge must be used at all times. Break the
vacuumwithNitrogen(N2)intothedischargeservicevalveto0
PSIG.
4)

Nitrogen(N2)intothedischargeservicevalveto0PSIG.
5)Evacuatethesystemto500microns.
6)Close gaugemanifold valves, stopthe pump,and conducta
