Installation
INSTALLATION
1. Lubricate the low side A/C service port valve core with clean refrigerant oil prior to installation. Use only refrigerant oil of the type recommended for the compressor in the vehicle.
2. Remove the tape or plug from the A/C service port located on the suction line near the A/C compressor.
3. Using a standard Schrader-type valve core tool, install and tighten the replacement valve core into the low side A/C service port.
CAUTION: A valve core that is not fully seated in the A/C service port can result in damage to the valve during refrigerant system evacuation and charge. Such damage may result in a loss of system refrigerant while uncoupling the charge adapters.
4. Evacuate the refrigerant system.
5. Charge the refrigerant system.
6. Reinstall the protective cap onto the A/C service port.
