Note: When the pump is running, the oil level should be even with the
line on the sight glass. Underlling the pump will result in poor vacuum
performance; overlling can result in oil blowing from the exhaust.

service procedures and A/C-R manufacturers instructions for connections to the system.
CAUTION: Before connecting the vacuum pump to an A/C-R system, remove
refrigerant from the system in an accepted manner. Damage to the
pump may occur if evacuation is started while the system is under
high pressure. Robinair recommends the use of its Refrigerant
Recovery and Recycling equipment.
