4. Conduct the leak test from the high side (compressor discharge 'a ' to evaporator 'f ' ) to the low side (evaporator drain hose 'g ' to compressor

Perform a leak check for the following areas carefully. Clean the component to be checked and move the leak detector probe completely around the
connection/component.

-

Compressor
Check the fitting of high and low pressure hoses, relief valve and shaft seal.

-

Liquid tank
Check the pressure switch, tube fitting, weld seams and the fusible plug mounts.

-

Service valves
Check all around the service valves. Ensure service valve caps are secured on the service valves (to prevent leaks).

NOTE:  After removing A/C manifold gauge set from service valves, wipe any residue from valves to prevent any false readings by leak
detector.

-

Cooling unit (Evaporator)
With engine OFF, turn blower fan on "High" for at least 15 seconds to dissipate any refrigerant trace in the cooling unit. Wait a minimum of 
10 minutes accumulation time (refer to the manufacturer's recommended procedure for actual wait time) before inserting the leak detector
