Purging Test Hoses
1995 Buick Regal Gran SportSECTION Purging Test Hoses
- Ensure high-side and low-side hoses are properly connected to service valves, and all hose connections are tight. Place a clean shop towel over end of center service hose.
- Purge high-side test hose by opening hand valve on high-side gauge for 3-5 seconds. This allows system's refrigerant to force air through test hoses and out of center service hose into the shop towel. Immediately close high-side gauge hand valve.
- Purge low-side test hose in the same manner using hand valve of low-side gauge. Close hand valve after 3-5 seconds. Purging of test hoses is now complete, and system is ready for testing.
NOTE:
If manifold gauge set is to be used in conjunction with refrigerant recovery/recycling equipment, use instructions provided with the recovery/recycling equipment to properly purge test hoses.
