Warning
To prevent personal injury, avoid breathing A/C Refrigerant and lubricant vapor or mist. Work in a well ventilated area. To remove refrigerant from the
A/C System, use service equipment designed for recovery that is certified to meet the requirements of the appropriate SAE Standards. If an accidental
system discharge occurs, ventilate the work area before continuing service. Additional health and safety information may be obtained from the
refrigerant, refrigerant recovery, and lubricant manufacturers.
Warning
For personal protection, goggles and lint-free gloves should be worn and a clean cloth wrapped around fittings, valves, and connections when doing work
that includes opening the refrigerant system. If refrigerant comes in contact with any part of the body severe frostbite and personal injury can result. The
exposed area should be flushed immediately with cold water and prompt medical help should be obtained.
Caution: R-134a is the only approved refrigerant for use in this vehicle. The use of any other refrigerant may result in poor system performance or
component failure.
Caution: To avoid system damage use only R-134a dedicated tools when servicing the A/C system.
Caution: Use only polyolester refrigerant oil (POE) for internal circulation through the R1344a A/C system and only use 525 viscosity mineral oil on
fitting threads and O-rings. If lubricants other than those specified are used compressor failure and/or fitting seizure may result.
Caution: R-12 refrigerant and R-134a refrigerant must never be mixed, even in the smallest of amounts, as they are incompatible with each other. If the
refrigerants are mixed, compressor failure is likely to occur. Refer to the manufacturer instructions included with the service equipment before servicing.
The J 43600 is a complete air conditioning service center for R-134a. The ACR 2000 recovers, recycles, evacuates and recharges A/C refrigerant
quickly, accurately and automatically. The unit has a display screen that contains the function controls and displays prompts that will lead the technician
through the recover, recycle, evacuate and recharge operations. R-134a is recovered into and charged out of an internal storage vessel. The ACR 2000
automatically replenishes this vessel from an external source tank in order to maintain a constant 5.45-6.82 kg (12-15 lbs) of A/C refrigerant.
The ACR 2000 has a built in A/C refrigerant identifier that will test for contamination, prior to recovery and will notify the technician if there are foreign
gases present in the A/C system. If foreign gases are present, the ACR 2000 will not recover the refrigerant from the A/C system.
The ACR 2000 also features automatic air purge, single pass recycling and an automatic oil drain.
Refer to the J 43600 ACR 2000 manual for operation and setup instruction. Always recharge the A/C System with the proper amount of R-134a. Refer
to Refrigerant System Capacities (Non-HP2) for the correct amount.
A/C Refrigerant System Oil Charge Replenishing
If POE oil was removed from the A/C system during the recovery process or due to component replacement, the oil must be replenished. POE Oil can be
injected into a charged system usingHP2 A/C Oil Injector .For the proper quantities of oil to add to the A/C refrigerant system, refer to Refrigerant
System Capacities (Non-HP2).
