DYE INJECTION INSTRUCTIONS:
(4) (3) (2) (1)
A. Purging air from the hose assembly
It is important to eliminate any air in the hose before injecting dye into the A/C
system. (This process is necessary only once for the setup).
1. Hold the cartridge (2) upward while unscrewing the cap. Snap the hose
assembly (3) onto the cartridge.
2. While holding the assembly upward, attach the handle (1) to the bottom of the
cartridge by turning it clockwise. Continue turning as dye enters the hose and
pushes the air up. Use a pen to press the depressor of the coupler to release
the air. Repeat this process as needed until dye appears at the coupler’s end.
