WARNING
•
Wear protective equipment, including
safety goggles, when working with
refrigerants and solvents. Refrigerants
and solvents can cause injuries.
•
Do not use any solvent containing alcohol, lacquer
thinner, brake cleaner, or any other non-approved
solvent.
•
Do not look into the component to observe air flow
- injury may result!
•
Equipment must be operated by qualified personnel.
Operator must be familiar with air conditioning and
refrigeration systems, solvents, and the dangers of
pressurized components.
•
The operator is responsible for complying with any
and all applicable laws and regulations governing
the use of this equipment, as well as the disposal of
used solvents, oil, equipment, and components.
These instructions are intended as guidelines for general
operation of the Universal Flush Fitting Kit. Always
follow the vehicle manufacturers’ instructions for
flushing their A/C systems.
The clamp assemblies and support plates included in
this kit can be installed on most A/C line or tube ends
for attachment of the flushing apparatus being used.
The support plates are slotted to allow for different size
tubes or line nuts to be supported against the lower end
of the sealing clamp. The chamfered area on the support
plates will allow the flared end of the tubes to sit level.
This way the sealing cone can be seated without slipping
or damaging the end of the tube.
Seating of the sealing cone into the fittings or tube ends
does not require the use of wrenches or other tools.
Sealing cones damaged by tools must be replaced.
Installation of the Sealing Cone:
1. After selecting the correct support plate to fit the
tube or line fitting, tighten the clamp screw until
the cone is seated tightly against the end of the
tube or line fitting on the A/C component.
2. While holding the clamp screw by hand, rotate the
forcing nut an additional 1/8 to 1/4 turn. This will
provide a leak-tight seal for the flushing operation.
To remove the clamp assembly, hold the clamp screw
and back off the forcing nut to free up the sealing cone
without damaging the end of the cone.
When using the adapters on a tube or fitting which is
too small for the sealing cone to enter, replace the cone-
shaped seal with the concave seal.
To replace the sealing cone, hold the forcing nut and
back out the clamp screw until the cone is pulled out
the end of the clamp screw. Insert the desired sealing
cone into the end of the clamp screw and tighten the
screw until the cone bottoms in the screw, using the
non-slotted support plate against the end of the cone.
IMPORTANT: DO NOT use pliers or other tools to
twist the sealing cone out of the clamp screw, because
it could damage the sealing cone.
