9000 Hatchback L4-2290cc 2.3L DOHC Turbo EFI (1994)
NOTE: Vacuum pumping should be carried out on both the low-pressure and high-pressure sides at the same time. A non-return valve in the intake to
the low-pressure side of the compressor makes it impossible to vacuum pump one side only.
Vacuum Pumping And Topping Up
Make sure that the quantity of refrigeration oil in the A/C system is correct before vacuum pumping or charging is started. Refer to "Oil Charge".
1. Connect the blue low-pressure hose, using a snap-on coupling to the low-pressure side of the compressor.
2. Connect the red high-pressure hose, using a snap-on coupling, to the high-pressure side of the compressor.
3. Open the valves on both snap-on couplings by screwing in the knobs.
4. Open the cocks on the blue low-pressure hose and red high-pressure hose on the pressure gauge stand.
5. Open the blue cock ("Liquid") for liquid refrigerant on the container on the Smart Cart.
6. Check that the cock on the yellow hose on the pressure gauge stand's middle outlet is closed.
