SPECIAL TOOL(S)
Refrigerant System Evacuation Using an R-134a Service Center
NOTE:
-
Ford Motor Company recommends use of an A/C service center to carry out recovery, evacuation, and charging of the refrigerant system. If an
A/C service center is not available, refrigerant system recovery, evacuation, and charging may be accomplished using a separate recovery station,
vacuum pump, charging meter, and manifold gauge set.
-
Leaks in refrigerant system service equipment, hoses or gauges can cause a leak in vacuum that may be misinterpreted as a problem with the
vehicle's refrigerant system. It is necessary to leak-test all refrigerant system service equipment, hoses and gauges on a weekly basis to verify that
no leaks are present.
