1. Close the low-side valve on the control panel.
2. Open the high-side valve on the control panel.
3. Refer to the manufacturer's instructions for the charging station in use.
4. Enter the amount of refrigerant needed to charge the A/C. Be sure that you are using the correct system of measurement (kg, lb). 
5. Begin the charging process.

Successful Transfer Complete

1. Close the high-side valve on the unit's control panel. Both valves should be closed.
2. Start the vehicle and the A/C system.
3. Let the engine run until the readings on the high-side and low-side gages stabilize.
4. Compare the readings to the system specifications.
5. Check the evaporator outlet temperature to ensure that the A/C system is operating within the system specifications.
6. Keep the A/C running.
7. Close the high side coupler valve.
8. Disconnect the high-side hose from the vehicle.
9. Open the high-side and low-side valves on the control panel.

10. The system will quickly draw in refrigerant from both hoses through the low-side hose.
11. Close the low-side coupler valve.
12. Disconnect the low-side hose from the vehicle.

Unsuccessful Transfer

Sometimes the total charge does not transfer into the A/C system. There are 2 reasons why this may occur.

1. The pressure in the unit's tank and the pressure in the A/C system are roughly equal. This will cause the transfer to proceed too slowly. Refer to the

manufacturer's instructions for the charging station in use.

2. There was not enough refrigerant in the unit's tank to transfer the full charge. It is necessary to recover the partial charge of refrigerant from the

vehicle and evacuate and charge the A/C system again. Refer to the manufacturer's instructions for the charging station in use.
