2. DETERMINE IF COMPRESSOR IS ON

With A/C on, determine if compressor clutch is engaged (cycled on). TIP – If the compressor is not cycling on, add ½ can of refrigerant using instructions 4 -7 below. If the compressor still does not engage, repairs may be necessary.

7. CHARGE

Remove top cap and press button to dispense. Hold can upright to charge, shaking and rotating from 12 o’clock to 3 o’clock every few seconds. Release button frequently every 10-20 seconds to check the system pressure. Continue this process until the system is fully charged (PSI is in BLUE zone) or can is empty. BE CAREFUL NOT TO OVERCHARGE YOUR SYSTEM.

8. COMPLETION

It is possible that the can will not be empty when finished. In this case, after disconnecting from vehicle you can leave the recharge hose on the can or remove for future use. Store in a cool dry location. If the can is empty, hold upside down for one minute to dispense any remaining product. Disconnect from vehicle and simply unscrew the recharge hose and discard can. The recharge hose may be used again with another can of EZ Chill ® 134a refrigerant. Replace the plastic cap you removed from port during instruction #3. TIP – It is normal for the recharge hose and gauge to hold pressure after use.
