Proceed as follows:
1.Remove caps from
2.Using hoses with valve core depressors, attach low- and
3.Start unit in Cooling mode and let unit run until sys- tem pressure stabilize.
4.Measure and record the following:
a.Outdoor
b.Evaporator
c.
d.Suction
5.Using “Cooling Charging Charts” compare outdoor- air temperature (F db) with the suction line pressure (psig) to determine desired system operating suction line temperature. See Fig.
6.Compare measured

perature, or remove refrigerant if actual temperature is more than 3° F lower than required
A.To Use Cooling Charging Chart
This method is to be used in Cooling mode only. Take the out- door ambient temperature and read the suction pressure gage. Refer to appropriate chart to determine what suction temperature should be. If suction temperature is high, add refrigerant. If suction temperature is low, carefully recover
