To Charge Refrigerant, refer to Figure 5 and follow these steps:
1.
Perform Hose Evacuation described previously.
2.
Connect Red Hose to the A/C System high side per the vehicle manufacturer's instructions. Do
not open the hose valve.
3.
Press top (ON) of rocker switch marked CHARGE/HIGH SIDE. The Charge Cylinder will now
be heating to develop pressure for charging.
4.
Open High Gauge Valve. The Low Gauge Valve and both Hose Valves should be closed.
5.
Determine the refrigerant capacity of the A/C system to be charged. This data is usually printed
on a tag located on the accumulator or under the hood of the vehicle. Convert this quantity to
tenths of a pound for setting the TC670E charge indicator.
The following will determine where to set the indicator prior to starting the charge mode:
(TC670E Liquid Level) - (A/C System Capacity) = Indicator Setting
