General Procedures

Air Conditioning (A/C) System Flushing

1.

WARNING: Use extreme care and observe all safety precautions related to the

use of refrigerants. Due to refrigerant hazards, always wear safety goggles and non-
penetrable gloves when working on or flushing air conditioning (A/C) systems. Failure
to follow this instruction may result in personal injury.

WARNING: When flushing the A/C system, refer to the manufacturers

equipment instructions for additional information. Failure to do so may result in system
damage or personal injury.

WARNING: The A/C refrigerant analyzer must be used before the recovery of

any vehicle's A/C refrigerant. Failure to do so puts shop bulk refrigerant at risk of
contamination. If the vehicle A/C refrigerant is contaminated, refer the customer to
return to the repair facility that performed the last A/C repair. If the customer wishes to
pay the additional cost, use the A/C recovery equipment that is designated for
recovering contaminated A/C refrigerant. All contaminated A/C refrigerant must be
disposed of as hazardous waste. For additional information, refer to the manufacturers
equipment instructions. Failure to follow this instruction may result in personal injury.

WARNING: Prior to using the A/C flushing equipment for the first time, follow

the operating instructions. Failure to follow this instruction may result in personal
injury.

CAUTION: Prior to flushing, remove and discard the desiccant sack. Depending

on the equipment used, other A/C components may have to be removed prior to
flushing. For additional information, refer to the manufacturers equipment instructions
before flushing the A/C system.

Recover the refrigerant.

manufacturers equipment procedures and instructions. Failure to follow this instruction
may result in personal injury.

CAUTION: Do not add R-12 refrigerant to an A/C system that requires the use of

R-134a refrigerant. These two types of refrigerant should never be mixed. Doing so may
cause damage to the A/C system.

Connect the charging station. For additional information, refer to the manufacturers
equipment instructions.
