Performance Test

1. The vehicles to be tested should be in a place that is not in direct sunlight.
2. Close the high and low pressure valve of the gauge manifold.
3. Connect the charging hose (blue) to the low pressure valve and connect the charging hose (red) to the high pressure valve of the gauge manifold.
4. Install the quick joint (for low pressure) to the charging hose (blue), and connect the quick joint (for high pressure) to the charging hose (red).
5. Connect the quick joint (for low pressure) to the low-pressure service valve and connect the quick joint (for high pressure) to the high-pressure service valve.

NOTE: The high-pressure service valve is on high-pressure pipe B, and the low-pressure service valve is on the low-pressure hose.

CAUTION: To connect the quick joint, press section A firmly against the service valve until a click is heard. When connecting, run your hand along the hose while pressing to ensure that there are no bends in the hose.

6. Start-the engine.
7. Set the A/C controls as follows:

A/C switch: A/C - ON position
Mode selection: Face position
Temperature control: Max. cooling position
Air selection: Recirculation position
Blower switch: HI (Fast) position

8. Adjust engine speed to 1,500 rpm with A/C clutch engaged.
9. Engine should be warmed up with doors and windows closed.




10. Insert a thermometer in the left center A/C outlet and operate the engine for 20 minutes.
11. Note the discharge air temperature.

NOTE: If the clutch cycles, take the reading before the clutch disengages.
