BigEZ ™ and EZ-Shot ™
Multi-Dose Dye Injection System
To Inject BigEZ 4-oz and 8-oz Dye Cartridges
and 8-oz A/C Lubricant Cartridges
Use with BigEZ Dye Injector and EZ-Shot Injection Gun
U.S. Patent Nos. 6,056,162 and 6,050,310
English
Fluoro-Lite/P ® dye (TP-9760 for R-134a/PAG systems) and Fluoro-Lite/E ® dye (TP-9770
universal for both R-12 and R-134a systems) meet or exceed SAE standard J2297 for the stability
and compatibility of UV-fluorescent dyes for refrigerant leak detection in R-134a/PAG A/C
systems.
Since the use of a fluorescent leak detection dye requires the addition of a chemical
substance into the A/C system which may or may not be compatible with the system, such dyes
should not be used unless they are either expressly endorsed by the A/C system and/or vehicle
manufacturer or meet the requirements of SAE J2297.
PREPARING THE CARTRIDGE AND HOSE ASSEMBLY
Hold the cartridge upright, remove the cap and screw the cartridge firmly to the check valve on the
hose assembly.
CONNECTING THE CARTRIDGE TO THE INJECTION SYSTEM
TP-9745 BigEZ dye injector—
• Completely unscrew the handle of the injector.
• Connect the dye cartridge and hose assembly to the handle assembly with a quarter turn.
• Insert the adapter/purge fitting into the quick coupler on the hose.
• Turn the handle to advance the plunger until a small amount of dye exits the assembly.
• Remove and retain the adapter/purge fitting.
TP-9749 EZ-Shot injection gun—
• Press the thumb release and pull the plunger rod all the way back.
• Insert the cartridge and hose assembly into the EZ-Shot front load notch.
• Insert the adapter/purge fitting into the quick coupler on the hose.
• Squeeze the handle gently to advance the plunger rod until a small amount of dye exits the
assembly.
• Remove and retain the adapter/purge fitting.
The hose assembly is now purged, ready for use and will remain full of dye. If the hose dye
charge is lost, repeat the connection steps for the appropriate injection system.
NOTE: Do not mix dyes. Always use the dye cartridge with its designated hose assembly.
After using a lubricant cartridge, remember to use the appropriate dye to flush the hose
assembly.
