Recycling:
Dispose of drawn-off refrigerant oil as hazardous waste.
Observe country-specific waste-disposal regulations.
Instructions For Evacuating Off A/C System:
The evacuation procedure removes all traces of ambient air, water vapor and any other gases present from the
A/C system.
This enables subsequent system filling with refrigerant.
A decrease in the vacuum level indicates a leak in the refrigerant circuit. Refer to 64 50 ... LEAK-TESTING
WITH LEAK TESTER DEVICE.
Instructions For Filling A/C System:
Before filling with refrigerant, top up the refrigerant oil entrained during drawing off.
Depending on the type of component replaced on the A/C system, it may be necessary to top up the refrigerant
oil, even if no measurable losses have occurred during drawing off.
Read and comply with the A/C system manufacturer's notes in this regard and the operating instructions of the
relevant service station.
Information on the required refrigerant fill quantity for the entire A/C system is contained on the rating plate (1)
in the engine compartment.
