Eclipse FWD L4-1997cc 2.0L DOHC MFI (1997)
21. Start the engine.
22. Operate the A/C and set to the lowest temperature (MAX. COOL).
23. Fix the engine speed at 1,500 r/min.
24. Tighten the handle of the adaptor valve (valve open) to charge the required volume of refrigerant.
CAUTION: If the bulk container is inverted, liquid refrigerant may be drawn into the compressor damaging it by hydraulic lock. Keep the bulk
container upright to ensure that refrigerant is charged in gas state.
25. After charging with refrigerant, turn the handle of the adaptor valve back all the way (valve closed).
26. Tighten the charging valve handle (valve closed). Remove the quick joint (for low pressure) from the low- pressure service valve.
CORRECTING LOW REFRIGERANT LEVEL IN CASE THE BULK CONTAINER IS USED
1. Install the adaptor value with the handle turned all the way in (valve close) to the bulk container.
2. Connect the charging hose (blue) to the adaptor valve.
3. Connect the charging hose (blue) to the quick joint (for low-pressure).
4. Open the valve of the bulk container.
5. Turn the handle of the adaptor valve to bleed the air.
6. Install the quick joint (for low-pressure) to the low-pressure service valve.
NOTE: The low-pressure service valve should be connected to the suction hose.
7. Start the engine.
8. Operate the air conditioner and set at the lowest temperature (MAX. COOL).
9. Fix the engine speed at 1,500 r/min.
10. Tighten the handle of the adaptor valve (valve open) and replenish refrigerant checking the quantity through the sight glass.
CAUTION: If the bulk container is inverted, liquid refrigerant may be draw into the compressor damaging it by hydraulic lock. Keep the bulk
container upright to ensure that refrigerant is charged in gas state.
11. After replenishing is completed, turn the handle of the adaptor valve all the way in (valve close) and remove the quick joint.
