Setup
Fill the Internal Tank
1. Connect the service hoses to the unit, and
press START / YES . See Figure 3.
2. Connect the fill hose to a full source tank.
3. Open the source tank valve.
4. Install the source tank on the unit, and secure
the tank using the tank strap.
Note: If using a refillable tank, install the tank
upside down and connect the fill hose to the
vapor valve.
5. Press START / YES , and the unit will
automatically run a 5-minute vacuum to clear
all internal air.
6. After the vacuum pump shuts off, the unit
automatically begins filling the internal
storage vessel. Add at least 8 lbs. (3.6 kg) of
refrigerant to ensure enough refrigerant is
available for charging.
This process takes 15–20 minutes. The unit
stops when a sufficient amount of refrigerant
has been transferred to the internal tank, or
when the source tank is empty.
Press STOP / NO to pause. Press STOP /
NO again to exit, or START / YES to
resume.
7. When the fill process is complete, press
STOP / NO to exit. The unit is ready for
operation.
Note: There is no need to calibrate the scale; it
is calibrated at the factory.
